well if you read my post in health you know i need more pins. these work good for me and though it might help some others out if i posted pics.
you can see the pin is coming along good. going to use advantech on the back and sides and maybe even the roof. the others are my solution to feeding 2 times per day cost about $8 each to make and they work great made out of 1X6 12 in tall 24 in long with 1 in holes and spaces every 2 in do there is a 1 in space between each opening

Backcountry, looks like a pretty good idea on the feeder let me know how it works and there shouldn't be much waste if any.

Well Done! Weird how you never think of things that may seem so simple. I might have to build a couple of those to see if it helps keep the chukar from wasting so much.

the feeders work great i did a small test one (12 inch long) last week to make sure it would work before i built a ton of them hardly no waste the floor is also a 1X6 so everything screws nice and tight(well all except for the front sides those are 1/4 in plywood)
the front bottom lip is 2 inch then 30 % angle for 1 and 1/2 inch built 4 of them today and got most of the cage done should finish tomorrow ( i hope)
