It is a great feeder and this is my second one, first one still great just wanting to put in two different feeds for the ladies. Mice and rats used to be a problem but no more. The hens only took maybe an hour to figure it out but definitely a better way to feed the ladies, clean and protected feed.

We purchased this product to keep rodents from stealing the chicken food at night. It took our chooks 2 weeks to start using this feeder. Initially they were scared because it was unstable, as it was sitting on top of chicken wire and the ground underneath was unstable. We ended up screwing the feeder on a flat piece of timber, which worked well. When the chicken started using it, we found that the lid would often stay open when they left the feeder. Including at night, when the rodents came to visit. Unfortunately, we have found the feeder a little flimsy. We will keep making alterations to secure the feeder a bit better. Overall, it was the best priced feeder on the market at the time of our purchase.

Not a great design. With a little more attention to detail it could work, but the fact that the foot plate is too slippery for the chickens to even stand on defeats the purpose of this item. A little glue and sand could fix this problem.

After adjusting lever system several times the feeder still mostly stays open, ultimately defeating the purpose. Easy build, materials ok, concept good just cant reliably deliver

I definitely recommend this product, especially if you're having trouble with pesty bird's & rodents stealing your chickens expensive feed. You'll be happier with the money saved in wasted or stolen food, the chickens take a few days to get the gist of how it works but i assure you that they learn very quickly when hungry. Thanks for the great product, second to none is my opinion. Cheers!
