This automatic chicken feeder is just like a self-service buffet for your hens. Your hens literally walk right up to it and the hatch will open up and allow them to eat. When done feeding and your hens leaves the feeder it will close the door automatically behind them.
It’s a simple idea, the chickens stand on the mesh grid and the flap opens to reveal their food. Big savings can be made on wasted and stolen food as the feed stays clean, dry & locked away. Mice, rats and birds will never gain access and thus cannot contaminate your hen’s food.
You may have to show your hens how to use the feeder at first. We suggest putting a stone on the treadle plate for around 3 days so that the feed flap is open and your hens can see where their food is. Then take the stone away and when they come and stand on the treadle, they will see the flap open and get the hang of how to open it.
The feeder requires some self-assembly but no tools are needed. Instructions are included.
Key Points:

- No mould due to the plastic material & round edges
