I didn’t think my chickens would like it
I have now had the feeder in use for 5 days. I was really worried my chickens would freak out but I filled it with scrummy treats and within an hour they were all feeding. It’s so easy to use. Thank you Omlet for another excellent idea. It has made my life much easier.

Fantastic product
I can't tell you how thrilled I and the chickens are with this product. It really is the ultimate chicken feeder. I don't use the smart feature as I just don't feel I need to. It reliably opens and closes, all my hens, even the pekins have no trouble accessing the food and literally ZERO feed finds its way to the floor. Gobsmacked! I get regular feed deliveries and skipped a delivery recently as I had more feed then I needed. The size is fabulous, I fill it up just once a week now, but you can clearly see when it's running low from the transparent meter and also the little blinking light. But the best thing for me is just not having to bring the feed in and out each day (never had rats, and didn't want 'em either) The reliable closure of the ports and no feed making its way to the floor leaves me confident the feeder will not attract rats even left out 24/7. Absolutely worth every penny.

The perfect automated feeder at last!
I am so impressed with this feeder- it is exactly what I have been looking for! It was so easy to set up literally put the batteries in ,enter the WiFi password and it was up and running. I've set the timings to the same as the automatic door and this morning I was up to see both door and feeder opening up in unison - worked perfectly! I was concerned my rather suspicious chickens would be wary but not so- heads were in there straight away and eating the layers pellets. This is a brilliant piece of kit and I am absolutely delighted with it.

Made a huge difference in reducing rat infestations
I love this smart feeder because it’s Wi-Fi connected and allows me to set multiple opening and closing times throughout the day. However, it lacks an override function to immediately open or close the feeder.
It has made a huge difference in reducing rat infestations. I used to use a suspended gravity feeder, which spilled a large amount of feed and attracted rats. This smart feeder not only deters rats but also keeps pigeons and local brush turkeys from accessing the feed once it’s closed — it’s amazing.
The only drawback is the battery access. I have to turn the feeder upside down to replace the battery.

Exactly what I needed
Perfect for those cold mornings when you don’t want to get out of bed and put out food , true to its description . 10/10 would buy again . Wish there was something similar for quails

The UFO chicken feeder has landed!
The UFO chicken feeder has landed and freaked my hens out! However, I have added some treat food into the feeding ports and just in front of it, which has helped calm them somewhat and I have spied my Appenzeller with her head in it eating, she has a top knot like a shuttlecock, which would brush the openings and this hasn’t freaked her out, food is a good motivator! I am hopeful it will soon be in full use by all of the neurotic birds once they over come their deep suspicion of it. It has only been in 24hrs and I am pleased with its build quality and design so far, just getting over the cost though!

This feeder is a no brainer. Very intuitive creation from the Omlet team. Less mess, keeps food safe from rodents and the ability to check food levels from your phone. What more could you ask for!

Does a good job of preventing squabbling
This is a smartly designed, practical feeder. The smart features are definitely a nice to have, rather than essential - but they are reliable. The feeder ports work well for most feed types, and the door opening mechanism is a great pest deterrence. The feeder holds a good amount of food, about a week and a half for five hens. It's sturdy and stable, without being too heavy to move in and out of the coop. The distribution of doors does a good job of preventing squabbling.
