Grandpa’s Standard Automatic Chicken Feeder – 9 kg
Keep poultry feed dry, protected and away from unwanted pests with the Grandpa’s Standard Automatic Chicken Feeder. Built from durable galvanised metal with an aluminium tread plate, this proven treadle-style feeder opens when your chickens step onto the platform and closes again when they move away.
The cantilevered lid helps prevent sparrows, rats, mice and other pests from getting access to the feed, while the enclosed hopper helps keep feed protected from rain. With approximately 9 kg of feed capacity, it can supply around six hens for up to 10 days under typical use.
