Usually they are about £70 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be right with the above , never used one but the ones I’ve seen at the shows etc are all normally around £100 or so , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo22 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hi Most of the feeders on sale spin the grain in a circle around the bottom of the feeder, this is ok if you can put it in the water in some way. We have 8 feeders that we origanally got from USA and are called Kenco straight feeders. These spin in the vertical plane so through a nice straight line of grain up the edge on the ponds and go off twice a day. These are some photos of how we use them, so if you are buying new feeders it may pay you to ask the companys who sell them if they have anything like these. We had no problem ordering them from USA but that was some ten years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With two spins that I used to feed ducks and pheasant, put next to ponds on edge of the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
