 I finally got a "Grandpas Feeder" It's a hinged metal feeder that is supposed to cut down on food waste. The chickens step up & the feed door opens. They jump down & the feed door closes. Like a little mechanical chicken trough. Only, this one is NOT little. Yes, I did purchase the large version, but I didn't realize how BiG it is! Look at Leo (& he is 10lbs or so) it arrived in an enormous box- I am thrilled yet kinda intimidated! I know it's safe for bantams, but I'm definitely going to have to place some weights on the step- my Silkies are lightweights | Mini vacation time is approaching, & I'm hoping my Grandpa Feeder will allow the chickens to feed themselves during the day-- I predict Harmon will approve

This is Reina- she sleeps like this. Obviously, not intimidated at all by the large shiny metal contraption.
