‘No Mess’ Chicken Feeder 21 litre

Description

Ultimate Convenience for Larger Flocks

If you maintain a bustling backyard poultry pantry, the 21-litre 4-port chicken pellet feeder is crafted to make your daily routine significantly easier. Built for up to 12 hens, this substantial unit allows four birds to feed at the same time. These feeders are made only for grain and food pellets. Chickens are selective feeders and enjoy scratching in food, tossing it around to access their preferred morsels, and flicking away unwanted feed. This system gently forces them to eat directly from the tube, ensuring your expensive feed remains exactly where it belongs.

Strategic Setup and Pest Prevention

The most important point is that the container must not be placed flat on the ground, as the chickens will not be able to reach the food inside. 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. Ensure your chosen base does not exceed the container’s footprint. A wider platform simply creates a stage for uninvited guests to raid the food. The main aim of the ‘No Mess’ Chicken Feeder is to prevent waste of pellets and grain by keeping them dry and out of reach of other animals.

Overcoming the Learning Curve

Since the chickens haven’t grown up with this feeder, there is a learning curve they must overcome before recognising this food source. Most chickens understand it almost immediately; others will peck at the transparent walls of the container until they learn how to access the food. The slower ones need patient guidance until they understand. Simply remove alternative food sources, and your flock will adapt quickly.

Key Specifications

• Maximum Capacity: Holds an impressive 21 litres, which drastically reduces the number of trips to the refill station.

• Flock Size: The four ports accommodate a larger flock of up to 12 birds.

• Weather Protection: Spoilt pellets from excrement and rain also increase waste. This enclosed construction completely eliminates that problem.

• Pest Deterrent: This waste leads to unnecessary costs for the keeper and attracts wild birds, squirrels, and pests such as mice and rats. Our secure design keeps them out.
