The best part of making these products is the nice reviews that come in. You get a few jerks, very minor cosmetic damage from shipping that could be fixed with a hammer and a block of wood in two minutes, who demand replacement despite our terms of sales that state cosmetic damage is going to happen shipping a light weight sheet metal product. But 99% of the customers are hard core appreciative of what our feeder is and how well it works.
Below is a review that came in today:
Product Name: Medium Ratproof Chicken Feeder
Headline: Fixed Squirrel problem
Name: Robert Jones
Location: Saint Paul
Review: This feeder saves us a ton of money. We had squirrels, chipmunks, and mice taking the feed. We didn't realize how much until we got this. It is adjustable for different weights of hens. The soft close option sets it apart from other feeders I looked at. One of my birds likes coming in from the side and can get her head stuck but the soft close allows her to get it out. The company will answer questions so we have a plan to get our cheater hen to go from the front. It stores a lot.
Rating: 5 stars
Note: The instructions state that setting milk jugs filled with dirt or sand on either side of the treadle completely stops hens from trying to sneak in from the side. We chose to not go with side guards like the Chinese made Grandpa feeder uses due to them being major pinch points that are quite dangerous to hens.
