Dark Day Corn Feeding

Corn isn't essential just feed at weekends.  I only do it as a hand feed anyway to get them to bond more with me so defeats the object if it's auto dispensed.  If you really want to bother with a feeder buy a cat feeder which have spring up lids and are driven by a timer run off an AA battery.

In either case don't mix with pellets or they'll waste the pellets to eat the corn.

you could use one of those batter operated cat feeders with a timer if you really wanted them to have their corn, they dont cost a lot on eBay.

They even have them with voice recorders so you can make " Here chookie-chook" noises as it operates.

i put corn & pellets in the hopper together in the morning & when  i go & lock them in at night all the food has gone

Unfortunately I sometimes have to work 7 days for weeks on end. I made a hopper to dump mixed corn in the run operated by a 12 volt solenoid and it works a treat. Cost about 6 quid as I already had a timer. One of the birds was frightened beyond belief when it operated but now waits with open beak every afternoon at about 3.30
