Automatic Chicken Feeder

Make daily poultry care more convenient with this 25-Pound Treadle Chicken Feeder. Designed for small to medium backyard flocks, this self-serve feeding station combines generous feed storage with a weight-activated opening mechanism to help reduce spills and limit access by unwanted animals.

The spacious hopper holds up to 25 pounds of standard poultry feed, providing an estimated 11-day supply for a flock of 10 hens. Actual feeding duration will vary depending on flock size, breed, age, diet, and individual consumption.

A pressure-activated treadle allows chickens to access feed by stepping onto the platform. When the bird steps away, the lid closes with the help of a magnetic seal, keeping the feed compartment covered between visits.

The galvanized sheet metal construction features a protective silver finish designed to help resist rust and corrosion. Its enclosed design helps shield stored feed from light precipitation and reduces exposure to outdoor debris.

Three adjustable treadle settings help chickens become familiar with the feeding mechanism. An anti-slip stepping platform provides a designated place for birds to stand, while cushioned hinges help soften the sound of the closing lid.

• Generous 25-Pound Feed Capacity: Holds up to 25 pounds of poultry feed, with an estimated supply lasting approximately 11 days for 10 hens, depending on consumption.

• Weight-Activated Treadle Mechanism: Opens when a chicken steps onto the platform and closes when the bird moves away, helping restrict access to stored feed.

• Magnetic Lid Closure: Features a magnetic seal that helps keep the feeding compartment closed between uses and discourages access by some unwanted animals.

• Galvanized Metal Construction: Made with galvanized sheet metal and a protective silver finish to help resist corrosion during regular outdoor use.

• Adjustable Training Settings: Includes three treadle angle settings, an anti-slip platform, and cushioned hinges to support gradual training and quieter operation.

Spend less time refilling feed bowls with a hopper designed to hold several days of poultry feed. The enclosed storage compartment helps reduce feed exposure and provides chickens with a consistent feeding location.

The treadle mechanism helps limit access by wild birds and small scavengers compared with an open feed bowl. However, it is not guaranteed to exclude raccoons, rodents, or other determined animals, so appropriate coop security and regular monitoring remain important.

Introduce the feeder gradually using the adjustable treadle settings. Allow chickens time to learn how the mechanism works, and confirm that every bird can access feed reliably before removing alternative feeding options.

Weighing approximately 8.8 pounds when empty, the feeder can be positioned in a suitable coop or covered run. Place it on a firm, level surface where it cannot tip, and check that the treadle and lid move freely without obstruction.

Inspect the feed regularly for moisture, spoilage, or contamination, and clean the feeder according to the manufacturer's instructions. Position it in a sheltered area to help keep feed dry, especially during heavy rain or severe weather. With its 25-pound capacity, adjustable treadle, and galvanized metal construction, this chicken feeder offers a practical way to simplify everyday flock care.
