Looks like an absolutely awesome product and looks great too! However, 2-300 bucks is a little steep for a feeder in my opinion. You pay for quality, but I feel there are other great options for much less. Love the video!
You guys have great craftsmanship with your coops. Your videos are also entertaining and educational. I have looked into this feeder in the past. I think it's a great idea. If they made this so that the ports go in and down more I would so get one. I have goats and I like the design of this feeder better than the one I have only thing I like better about the one I have is that the pipe ports go in then down deeper where goats can't stick there faces in and lick the food out. Please Coopworx make the ports go down farther and I'm in!!
I got the waterer and the feeder. Best purchase I have made for our chickens. took a few days for them to get used to the waterer but was not a problem.
Got an idea for you to adjust your chicken feed or take a shovel and dig out a dip 3 to 4 inches and then install your post which will lower your feeder and then you can adjust it to height when they get older just a thought like your video. Great product.
We just tried a very well-rated system. Our garbage can cut the holes, and installed the ports that look exactly like this one. What I liked is it has covers that you can put in at night to hopefully keep mice and rats out. Imagine my disappointment when after only a couple hours there was feed all over the ground all the way around. It is as if they just stuck their heads in and drug out all the feed. Is there ANY feeder that does not allow the chickens to scatter the feed? We've learned so much watching your channel and appreciate all your hard work to bring us good content.
I saw a video where they took a five gallon bucket drilled a 7/8 hole in the bottom Then they put a lag bolt with an eye hook on the top and put it through the hole On the other end which is threaded they put a small block of wood with some nuts to secure it. They hung the bucket at a height where the chickens could peck at the block of wood When they do that a small amount of feed comes out the hole So not only does it feed them It makes them work for the food So if the chickens are in the run a lot it gives them something to do and you don’t end up with a lot of wasted feed on the ground. Also a mouse is gonna have to jump pretty high and pretty often to get the feed out of the bucket.
I understand you wouldn't want to use this with fermented feed directly. Does it make sense to leave this for free feeding alongside a trough feeder for a small amount of fermented?
you could add something to the bottom for the bantams to hop up on to get to the feed. However, if what they are eating from now, is basically floor level or low to the ground, it might be hard to have them switch to this. Not impossible, but we can't say with confidence that if you have only bantams that this will definitely work for you.
unfortunately you aren't the only person watching the video and the captioning makes the video accessible for other people to view. Please get over yourself
