Live feeding for everyone, feed days, Hall of Fame and lucky wheel

Live feeding for everyone, feed days, Hall of Fame and lucky wheel

From today you can feed the hens yourself: one free click a day for everyone. If you want more, you buy feed days. Plus the Hall of Fame, passes and a lucky wheel.

  • New: Feed button for all visitors, one free click a day
  • New: Buy feed days: 5 euros = 20 feedings, your name above the button, passes to give away
  • New: Hall of Fame with podium, on its own page
  • New: Lucky wheel after the free click, one spin per day
  • New: Idle automatic mode: after 30 minutes without a feeding the feeder feeds by itself
  • New: My area with sign-in by email link, receipt and your appearance on the site
  • New: Terms and conditions and terms of entry as legal pages
  • Changed: Scheduled automatic feeding is off; the automatic mode now only steps in when idle
  • Changed: The hens have real photos from the clips: Goldie, Sperbi and four still looking for names
  • Fixed: Feeding briefly did not work for visitors because the captcha window was missing on the slim page

The biggest day since launch. After a good week of automatic operation the auger feeder is stable enough for you to trigger it yourselves.

Feeding with a click

Every visitor has one free click a day. Press, wait a moment, and the grain falls in the picture. There is a pause between two feedings, and a daily limit so the hens do not burst. Feeding only happens in the feeding window, not at night.

If nobody feeds for half an hour, the automatic mode steps in and feeds by itself. The hens should not suffer because nobody happens to be watching.

Feed days

If you want more, you buy feed days: one day is 20 feedings for 5 euros. As a thank-you, on your days it says "Free today thanks to …" with your name above the button, from a certain amount with a message or a banner. Payment is via PayPal, there is a receipt by email, and every purchase brings passes to give away: links that let friends feed a few extra times.

Hall of Fame

Whoever buys feed days is in the Hall of Fame, with a podium for the three biggest patrons. A few companies received feed days as a gift at the start, as thanks for help with the feeder and with 3D printing.

Lucky wheel

After the free click a wheel can open over the feed card. With a bit of luck you get a pass with extra feedings, valid for seven days. One spin per day, the terms of entry are in the terms and conditions.
