ELI Metal Poultry Feeder with Handle 12kg (300013) – Heavy-Duty Galvanised Chicken Feeder

Heavy-Duty Galvanised Poultry Feeder, 12kg

The ELI Metal Poultry Feeder is a tough, galvanised hanging feeder built to hold up to 12kg of feed for your flock. Made from heavy-duty galvanised metal, it stands up far better to weather and daily use than lighter feeders, making it a solid, long-lasting choice for backyard poultry keepers and small farms. With a large capacity and a sturdy build, it keeps a good supply of feed on hand with less frequent refilling.

Ribbed Base Reduces Feed Waste

A standout feature of this feeder is its ribbed base pan. The ribs help stop chooks flicking and throwing feed out of the pan as they eat, which is one of the biggest sources of wasted feed with a poultry feeder. Many feeders have smooth-sided pans that let birds scratch the feed out, so the ribbed design here helps keep more feed where it belongs and saves you money over time.

Strong Handle for Carrying and Hanging

The feeder has a strong handle that makes it easy to carry when full and also lets you hang it up in the coop or run. Hanging the feeder keeps the feed up off the ground, which helps keep it cleaner and further reduces spillage and scratching compared with a feeder sitting on the floor. The domed lid on top helps keep feed protected inside.

Built to Last

Galvanised metal is corrosion-resistant and hard-wearing, so this feeder holds up to knocks, weather and the rough treatment poultry gear gets. It is the kind of feeder you buy once and keep using season after season, which makes it a worthwhile step up from cheaper, flimsier feeders.

How to Use

Fill the feeder with your poultry feed and refit the lid. Stand it on a flat, level surface or hang it by the handle at around the birds' back height, so feed flows into the base pan as they eat. Position it in a sheltered spot to help keep the feed dry, and check the level regularly, topping up as needed. Empty and clean the feeder from time to time, and keep it dry when stored to protect the galvanised finish.
