This feeder was something I needed when I first started three years ago now I have less waste of food and I know that at night there’s no critters getting in it. I love it because I don’t have to go out in the morning and make sure they have enough food and I don’t have to worry about it at night with anything getting in and eating their food or attracting mice. I am seriously thinking of getting my second one as I have 16 chickens and that would eliminate having to put the two extra feeders in the run with food and worrying about the mice coming back. I’ve had the feeder now I think a week no problems and I just have it automatically opens when it gets light and closes when it’s dark as my Internet won’t reach that far.

The new ladder design is much better for ease of use for the birds as they walk up it closer to a plank but it doesn’t collect droppings and I appreciate that it is one piece as my old ladder keeps having the rung covers pop off.

It was a long wait for this product, but it was definitely worth it! I thought my girls might take a while to get used to it, but no they were using it more or less straight away. I encouraged them by putting a few treats in each cup and they got the idea. They seem to enjoy using this feeder more than the standard Omlet bowls. I suppose it is closer to naturally feeding on the ground, rather than in a bowl. The best thing of all is that I no longer have to worry about the feed spoiling and getting damp or attracting rodents. A couple of little quibbles - as usual the Omlet instruction booklet is hard to follow (although it is actually simple to set up, the booklet makes it confusing!). Also, when the I tried (out of interest) to manually close the doors using the button, the doors stayed open but the coop automatic door (which was closed for the night) re-opened!! I am wondering if having the two devices close together is the reason for this. Anyway, it works fine on the light sensor and I've had no problems with it. It does seem expensive until you get it, it is a very robust piece of kit and clearly a lot of research and development has gone into it. Well done Omlet!

We have changed the cups to nipples on both of our drinkers,after having no joy with the nipples at first. We had 1 with cups and they simply drank out of that one. Here is the secret of success,we sprinkled mixed corn around each nipple after pressing nipples and wetting them.From not using them,as soon as they saw the 2 or 3 bits of corn around nipples,within 5 minutes,the lot of our 8 amber stars,were drinking away I was so relieved, problem was solved minutes and there drinking away,fabulous.

I love this little feeder so much. I bought it mostly to ease my mind when going away on vacation. I have tested it out for about 2 months now and have had no complaints. Battery is still at 84%! I do feel a bit weird leaving it in the run all the time to be honest, I get worried if rodents could chew through it if they really wanted to so I might not use it all the time, but so far have had no issues with rodents. It consistently opens and closes when I have it set. The only thing I do wish is if there was a harder way to set it to “manual” mode as my chickens themselves I believe have done it themselves twice so far by pecking at the button. Wanted to also add that it lets you know when food is getting low too and I love that! It’s been very accurate.

Long wait from order date but worth it. Easily constructed and into operation straightaway. Girls and us very happy with it

Love the ease of ordering and is very user friendly. The feeder saves on feed and keeps out the squirrels

I got this cage for my parrotlet and she loves the cage. I loved how it was packed and the instructions were very clear. I didnt use the water and food bowl that it came with for the middle instead i found a small brand that extends in a spiral outwords and drilled a hole in it and placed it in the middle instead. the metel pole helped.

I've been looking and different options for feeder. I'm glad I made this puchase. My chickens caught on quick, everyone is eating well and no bullying and absolutely no waste. I also purchased the 3 gal insulated watering system. I did convert my chickens from the cup to the nipple. Wasn't sure, they figured it out couple hours . Now the water last me 3 days, I got 13 chickens. When I refill water it's crystal clear. I love it and I know my chickens love it.

I love this waterer! My girls took to the nipples quickly and this has kept the water clean!! I really like the “view” window to let me see the water level.
