Coopworx feeder??

[JanetRN1]

Trying to gather things for the outdoor experience when the new chicks make their transition.
Has anyone tried to coopworx caterers and feeders? They are super expensive, but seem sturdy and built to last.
Also, I plan on putting food and water in the run, not the coop. Is that correct?

Just a quick look at their in house reviews saw a lot of unhappy customers with three star reviews, chickens not using the feeder, spilled feed, rooster can't use it, too high for banties and silkies. And $225 will buy two ratproof feeders.

For what it is, heck no. Make a bucket feeder with pvc elbows before spending that kind of money for a very poor feeder.

Thank you!! I was hesitant to pull the trigger and couldn’t find any real reviews. I appreciate the response

Did you try googling their product name with reviews added? There are a lot of online reviews on chicken feeders. Just avoid any that have affiliate links, those are earning a commission and will say anything to get their 5%. One site is called chickenfeederreviews or something like that and they have a pretty good selection of reviews with no back links.

I did a quick search, a lot of reviews on the item but all had back links, admitted they were affiliates, or were harvested reviews from the company's website. Didn't find any real independent reviews on the first page. Might be more on the second and third page of results. Good luck!
