kitchens Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I was thinking about getting something like this: http://www.solwayfeeders.com/products/55kg-emperor-feeder-with-wooden-legs-and-pan-feeder-psf0046-c398.html Does anybody have one & would you recommend it? I've read some reviews but wondered if they might be biased. I'm after something that keeps spillage to a minimum as I've got mickey mouse coming into the run at night. Thanks.

Sheilaz Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yes! In my case, I have the galvanised metal hopper to foil rats in my walk in run, which has been 100% successful. It was an expensive outlay but has definitely paid for itself in terms of no rats. I can't comment specifically on the plastic ones, but the drop down spiral feeder is a brilliant idea, no trace of food on the ground. If I'm around I take my hens supplementary treats and a bowl of mash porridge for fun, but remove it when they've fed, but that's just me, it's not necessary. I bought mine from Solway, on an Omleteers recommendation, and it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky1 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We've used one for a couple of years now. Though from following your link I see they've changed quite a bit since we got ours. Ours is a plastic tub that holds 25Kg. The demand feed is a paddle that the girls peck at. Works well and we might get another soon. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
