I want to buy a creep feeder for my chickens and ducks. I have seen several brands (Kane, Miller Mtg., #88). Does anyone have any experience with any of these? How much feed do they hold?

I have been using a Nelson #88 creep feeder for my 3 hens. It holds 10 lbs. The only problem I had with it was one hen liked to throw much of the food to the ground. I inserted a strip of poultry wire on the feed trough so they have to reach through the openings in the wire to get the feed, and I don't find feed on the ground any more. It does not come with a top cover, but the way mine is mounted, I wouldn't need the cover anyway.
I found mine in a Tractor Supply Co. store, but I don't see it online now. Maybe they are only in stores?
Looks like Amazon has the Miller Co. ones (2 hole baby pig feeder) for $25.67
They are 8" x 8.2" x 12.5".
