The Perfect Addition to Your Poultry Pantry
If you are managing a growing flock, the 13-litre 2-port chicken pellet feeder is exactly what you need. Tailored for up to four hens, this unit allows two chickens to eat side by side comfortably. Chickens are selective feeders and enjoy scratching in food, tossing it around to access their preferred morsels, and flicking unwanted feed away. This feeder forces them to keep their heads in the tube, meaning your expensive feed stays safely inside the container.
Clever Construction and Crucial Setup
A successful setup is absolutely vital. You must never place the container flat on the ground, as the chickens will not be able to reach the food inside. Instead, it needs to be raised on something like bricks or pavers to keep the feeding ports high enough for the chickens to see the food through them, but not so high that they cannot reach it. The hens need to look down the ports easily without performing any acrobatic movements.
Equally important is the base platform. Ensure the bricks or pavers do not extend beyond the container’s footprint. A wider base provides a convenient stage for mice, rats, squirrels, and pigeons to raid the feeding ports. By keeping the base flush, you firmly deny these uninvited guests access to your poultry feed.
Guiding Your Flock
While most chickens figure out the system immediately, a few might need a little coaching. In the beginning, you will often see them peck at the transparent container walls, through which they can see the feed, until they learn how to access the food. The slower ones need patient guidance until they understand. Simply withhold other food sources so they have no choice but to collect their food there.
