1.5kg Yellow Poultry Feeder – Hanging Gravity Chicken Feeder for Chicks, Bantams and Small Flocks

Small Gravity-Fed Chicken Feeder for Chicks and Small Flocks

This 1.5kg yellow chicken feeder is a compact, gravity-fed poultry feeder that holds feed in the top and dispenses it into the tray as your birds eat. The small size is ideal for chicks, bantams, small flocks, or as an extra feeder in a separate pen. It keeps a steady supply of feed available to chickens, ducks and other poultry, and the bright yellow plastic is easy to spot in the coop or brooder.

Hanging Chicken Feeder Design

As a hanging chicken feeder, it has a feed hopper on top that funnels feed down into a circular tray at the base, so several birds can eat from around it at once. It is made from durable plastic built for outdoor use, and the lid works as a rain cover to help keep feed dry. The wire carry handle lets you hang it at the right height, roughly level with the birds' backs, which helps cut spillage and the feed scratched onto the ground. The smooth surfaces wipe clean easily for good hygiene.

Why the 1.5kg Size Works

The 1.5kg poultry hanging feeder is compact and easy to handle, which makes it well suited to raising chicks in a brooder, keeping a small backyard flock, or topping up a separate pen. Because it is small, it is easy to refill and clean daily, which helps keep feed fresh for young birds or fewer birds. Larger sizes are also available for bigger flocks or less frequent refilling.

Tips for Using a Chicken Feeder

Hang the feeder so the tray rim sits at about the height of the birds' backs, and raise it as chicks grow. This simple adjustment cuts down on birds scratching feed out and wasting it. Place it in a sheltered part of the coop or run, out of the rain where possible. Empty and clean the tray regularly so old feed does not go mouldy, and bring the feeder in or lift it out of reach at night if rats or mice are a problem. Use crumble or mash for chicks and pellets or layer feed for older birds.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much feed does it hold?
Up to 1.5kg, which suits chicks, bantams and small flocks, or works as an extra feeder in a separate pen. Larger sizes are available if you need more capacity.

Is it good for chicks?
Yes. The small size is handy in a brooder, and it is easy to refill and clean daily to keep feed fresh for young birds.
