The Omlet Smart Chicken Feeder. Is it Everything it Claims to Be?

Not sponsored by Omlet, I bought the feeder, and here’s my honest opinion.

Well, I did it, I bit the bullet and bought this fancy (pricey) smart feeder, hoping it would solve my feed waste problem and help keep those pesty sparrows out of my feed. They say it’s no-spill, automatically opens and closes, sends notifications right to your phone, and has a reliable app. Is it true? Yes! I’ve been using the 12 lb feeder for two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier. Setup was easy, though like any new device, taking your time to read the manual helps you fully understand its potential.
I have zero feed on the ground, which means no waste, and that means it saves money. Not to mention no dropped feed on the ground and a closed feeder at night keeps the rodents away. I set the feeder to open at dawn and close at dusk, but you can customize the schedule anytime directly from your phone. The 12 lb capacity fed my six hens for a full week—exactly as Omlet promised. Don’t have a smartphone? No problem. The feeder works right out of the box using a built-in light sensor to open and close automatically. There’s nothing to complain about, this feeder is a total win on every level.
Price: Yep, kinda spendy, $229+ shipping. Is it worth it? 100% yes.

No Mess RentACoop PVC Chicken Feeder Arrives

A Review of the RentACoop Chicken Feeder

This is the best feeder I’ve ever had.  My hens used it right away, and the problem of feed waste is over.
Nice quality
EASY to install
Fast delivery.
Most Important, no more waste. My hens can’t scratch out the feed.

Note: My birds are young, that’s why the feeder is low on the fence. The proper height of drinkers & feeders is easy to remember. Never hang them higher than a chicken’s back.
It’s also a good idea to keep the old feeding station in place until you’re sure they’ve learned to use the new one. The feeder does state this is for birds 12 weeks & older.
