Chook Manor
Feed-o-Matic 8kg Automatic Treadle Chicken Feeder
$145.90
The Feed-o-Matic 8kg automatic treadle feeder gives your chickens access to feed when they step onto its ramp. Their weight activates an inward-opening door, helping keep sparrows and other wild birds away from the feed.
Capacity and feed types
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.
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.
Construction and dimensions
- Robust, heavy-gauge galvanised steel construction.
- Weather-tight design.
- Approximately 275mm wide × 470mm high × 480mm deep, including the treadle.
Assembly and training
Minor assembly is required on delivery. Allow approximately two to three days for birds to learn to use the feeder; individual birds may take longer.

Prompt delivery. Easy to put together Got rid of the wild ducks woohoo but still not sure if all my girls have quite figured out the new gadget. They don’t look like they are starving
Without a doubt these feeders are brilliant. Make sure to order with Rat guards!!
Good system easy to put together. Unfortunately only one/two chicken can use at a time
Easy to assemble and robustly made. I scanned the code to get the instructions, but it was only in Dutch. I found another version of the instructions online and it was very straightforward. So far the chooks are still transitioning to use it fully, but should be all using it tomorrow. Great that the sparrows and other tweety birds can’t get in to eat the chooks food. I might still have to watch for the hedgehogs helping themselves though.
Love it. Very easy to assemble
Purchasing this has already saved us so much money as the wild birds can't eat the feed now!
Our 3 girls love their new feeder. They quickly learned how to use it and I no longer have to worry about them getting enough food if I’m not around for a few hours. They free range so can just go and help themselves whenever they feel like it.
Great feeder, my chickens are using it like pros after only a couple of days!
Fast dispatch and delivery good product well recommended
It was easy to put together. I haven't used it yet as I'm still working on the coop and cage.
I had a piece for the lid not right and chook manor sent me the right one within the week so I could get my feeder in use. I have 3 now. 2 for my chooks and one for my ducks. Love them. I also bought one for each of my sons whom both love them too.
Super easy assemble!! Chooks love it, only issue is that they also like to sit on top and poop off it, but the feeder inside remains clean as it is set back from the front edge only requiring a soapy clean down of the outside which is easy as well. Received in 22hours of ordering!!! Great service, highly recommended
Works well and ready to assemble. Took them an hour or so to work out what to do, but now they use it confidently. Much easy and more secure for the kids to put the food into.
