The Eton Galvanised Treadle Poultry Feeder is constructed from durable plastic and strong galvanised steel joined with rivets, making it tough,long lasting and weather proof. This feeder will help keep vermin such as crows and pigeons at bay while allowing poultry easy access to their feed.
This new design with a durable plastic lid and treadle ensures a nice quiet action and better weather proofing.
There are extensive possibilities to set the weight for guaranteeing the access to the trough. This depends of course of the animal species to feed. The minimum weight to that can be set is 250g, up to a maximum weight of 2Kg. For animals with a body weight of 500g, for example, the treadle weight should be set to 250g and for animals with a body weight of 5Kg this value should be 2Kg
To teach your hens to use this feeder, simply place a heavy object on the treadle and leave for a few days until hens are used to getting their feed, then remove the object and as soon as they step onto the treadle the food becomes immediately available.
The feeder comes pre-assembled with the exception of the treadle it’s self which is only removed to reduce postage costs. The treadle is easily re-attached with two bolts.
The Eton Galvanised Treadle Poultry Feeder is available in four sizes, 5Kg capacity, 8Kgcapacity, 12Kg capacityand 20Kg capacity.
