40 lb Treadle Chicken Feeder – Galvanized Metal Automatic Poultry Feeder
Wasted chicken feed can add up quickly when rats, mice, squirrels, wild birds, and even your own flock have easy access to the feeder. This 40 lb treadle chicken feeder uses a step-activated feeding system that opens while your birds eat, helping keep unwanted visitors out while reducing spilled and stolen feed around the coop or run.
With enough capacity to feed about 12 adult hens for up to 10 days, this automatic chicken feeder is a practical choice for larger backyard flocks or poultry keepers who want to spend less time refilling feeders. Its galvanized metal body, stainless-steel hardware, rain cover, anti-roost lid, and flock-friendly treadle design help keep feeding more contained, protected, and manageable outdoors.
Key Features
-
Treadle-Activated Feeding: The feeder opens when chickens step onto the treadle, limiting access when birds are not eating and helping keep rats, mice, squirrels, and wild birds from stealing feed.
-
40 lb Feed Capacity: Holds pellets, crumble, or scratch grain and can provide feed for about 12 adult hens for up to 10 days, reducing the need for frequent refills.
-
Designed with Flock Safety in Mind: Blinders help prevent birds from feeding from the sides, while the perforated treadle provides grip and the flush treadle design helps protect feet during feeding.
-
Helps Reduce Feed Waste: Keeping feed contained inside the covered feeder means less scratching and scattering onto the ground, helping reduce wasted chicken feed and everyday mess.
-
Easier One-Handed Refilling: The large opening can be accessed with one hand, making routine feed refills simpler.
-
Protected Feeding Area: The covered metal design helps keep chicken feed off the ground and away from dirt, droppings, and debris.
-
Made for Outdoor Use: A galvanized metal body, stainless-steel hardware, and rain-ready design help keep feed drier and more protected during backyard use.
Reduce Waste and Simplify Daily Feeding
A treadle poultry feeder offers a different approach from an open feeder that leaves feed continuously exposed. Your chickens can access their feed when they step onto the treadle, while the feeder remains closed when it is not being used. That helps discourage pests and wild birds from helping themselves to expensive poultry feed.
The 40 lb capacity also means more feed can be stored between refills. For a flock of about 12 adult hens, the feeder can hold up to approximately 10 days of feed, making it especially useful for poultry keepers looking to reduce repetitive feeding chores while keeping the coop or run feeding area tidier.
