I have been using the Brower Gamebird feeders on my farm for the last 15 years. They work very well (good enough I haven’t wanted to try someone else’s). So I can tell you how they perform here in the Kansas wind, cold, and rain. They come unassembled with the hardware. It will take you about an hour to put the first one together. You need drills, wrenches, and nut drivers. After the first one and all the tools gathered up you can put the second one together in about 20 min. The ad says they will hold 175 lbs. of feed. It is closer to 150 lbs. (6 5 gal. buckets of my feed). This will easily feed 250 quail for a week or more. I put 3 feeders in a pen with 1000 quail and have plenty of feed left at the end of the week. The plastic the feeders are made from is good. The plastic does not get brittle in the winter or soften in the summer. Mice will chew through the plastic along the top edge to get out of the feeder if you have a mouse problem. If you have a mouse problem I suggest a rat terrier dog, they live to catch mice and it is a blast to watch them do their job. The feeders will leak a little water from time to time. You kind of need to watch that the feed does not clog in the pan if you get lots of rain. Here in Kansas we don’t normally get lots of rain but sometime it comes down sideways in 60 mile per hour winds and gets under the rain shield. The biggest complaint about the feeders is that the lid does blow off in the 60 mph winds and then rains in on the feed. I fixed that problem by attaching some weight to the inside of the lid. If you only get wind under 40mph you probably won’t need the weight. The other complaint is that they are hard to carry around. (I know it’s a petty complaint but anyway…..) There is no handle and the rain shield make them awkward to carry. I pick them up by the rain shield when empty If I do not have to go through a door
