If the feed tube is only 2", how do they push in those chicken thighs &amp; legs?

The part on the top that attaches to the tube is where you put the chicken legs in. That tube is 6" or so long. If you look inside that tube at the bottom is a big auger that turns and breaks up the chicken. From the auger to where the ground meat comes out is about 2" or 3" long which is plenty of room because the chicken is already broken up. Right before the ground meat comes out of the machine there is a plate and a blade that does the majority of the grinding. I grind about 50 lbs of chicken legs per month and 75% of them fit right from the grocery store. 25% of the legs I have to trim some to allow them to fit. If this doesn't make sense - please ask me to explain more. This machine is absolutely amazing - it make this job not so bad.

You have to push them into the legs, they should pop right in. That's what I did for mine.

Chickens-absolutely. I believe they could also lift a small turkey. The surface area including the prongs measures 8.5cm x 12cm (3 1/3 inches x 4 3/4 inches).

Try extending it all the way out and feeding it back in slowly. They have a mechanism in them like a seat belt.

Below the tubes, it's rounded out. Just fill up the tubes (you'll have to get them high enough for the kitty to "grab"). We have 6 cats and at least 3 love this feeder. It's great for their brains and slows down the chomping of the dry food :). I really like this model and it's cheaper than buying directly thru Aikiou.

The feed tube is about an inch and a half in size. The bigger the machine the bigger the feed tube. I just did 100 lbs of sausage and it worked great, get the foot pedal and the cleaning kit it makes the job way easier.

Well, not sure what you mean by "small", but if you're talking newly-hatched to a few weeks old, we've found this one to work quite well for us over the last couple of years: http://www.amazon.com/Miller-Manufacturing-806RED-1-Quart-Feeder/dp/B001D1KXGQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417563659&sr=8-2&keywords=chick+feeder Hope this helps answer your question! :)

You Need to squeeze the two plastic pieces and then push up. I hope this helps.

The tubes are too small for any kitty to get his or her face in them, they use their paws to pull the food out. So if you want a kitty with wet food on his paws and legs, well, that's up to you. I would suggest cleaning it after every use if you use wet food.

I wear 8" lace up boots and put this above it. I have pretty skinny legs and the velcro is just grabbing. Also, you have to roll your pants up very high to get to the mags. So yes, it can be done if you have chicken legs like I do. No, I don't recommend doing it.

It's a tight fit even with a big chicken. Makes it tuff to get the thermometer in when there's not a lot of room. But, still love it!

They will come in a cloth bag so they will need a larger container to go into. Other then that you can feed them pretty much bread(or cereal) and apples. Bread for food and apples for food and the moisture they need. 2000 didn't make it a week with my chickens and ducks.

#1: It took me a while to find the right height - and while I am not sure on the exact measurement - you want the chickens to "reach" up just a little to get to the water. #2: I didn't think my girls were picking up on it at first either, so I would go into the coop a couple times a day and push all the tips up so that there was water on them and sometimes even getting the ground under it a little wet. When the girls would come near, I would make the water drip from the bottom of the bucket so they could see the source. They picked it up within a day or two.

There is a hinged pusher on the right side of the feeder guide. The last bit of skin or vegetable can slip through. It is generally thin enough that it is not a problem. If you are going for uniformity, a knife or chef snack solves most problems

The dispenser does not self feed. I have to push the food down from the holding portion even when it is full with chicken pellets. I would not purchase this again.

There are buttons on the legs, like that of a crutch or walker. You push the button in while pulling the leg down to desired length.
