What’s included
- 1 × Feed-o-Matic 8kg automatic treadle chicken feeder.
- 1 × matching zinc-plated Rat Guard.
- 2 × stainless-steel screws for fitting the Rat Guard.
Feeder capacity and operation
Holds approximately 8kg of grain, mash or pellets. This can provide approximately 10 days of feed for 5 hens, depending on feed type, bird size and consumption.
Birds step onto the treadle ramp to activate an inward-opening door and access their feed, helping keep sparrows and other wild birds away.
Safe, quiet operation
No risk of injury from the opening mechanism: birds step onto the ramp to activate a door that opens inwards. The almost-silent operation helps timid birds become comfortable using the feeder.
Adjustable for different poultry sizes
The treadle has 15 adjustable settings and can be set for birds weighing as little as 250g. Suitable for bantams, larger chicken breeds and ducks. Its shallow feeding dish allows birds to reach their feed without leaning into a deep trough.
Robust, heavy-gauge galvanised steel construction with a weather-tight design.
Rat Guard protection
The zinc-plated anti-gnaw sheet screws onto the feeder to help prevent rats from chewing through the plastic base. Two stainless-steel screws are included.
Assembly and training
Minor feeder assembly is required on delivery. Allow approximately two to three days for birds to learn to use the feeder; individual birds may take longer.
