ELI Plastic Poultry Feeder 3Kg PPF11

ELI Plastic Poultry Feeder 3kg (PPF11): Green & White Chicken Feed Hopper

The ELI Plastic Poultry Feeder is a practical 3kg feeder for chickens and other poultry, designed to hold a good supply of feed and dispense it cleanly into the tray as your birds eat. It has a hopper-and-tray design, so you fill the top and feed flows down to the base, keeping the bulk of the feed clean, dry and protected until the birds need it. For backyard chook keepers and small flocks, it takes the daily hassle out of feeding and cuts down on the mess and waste of scattering feed on the ground.

The biggest advantage of a feeder like this is less wasted feed. When feed is tipped loose on the ground, birds scratch it around, foul it and trample it, and a lot of it is simply lost. This feeder keeps the feed contained in the tray where birds can eat it but not scratch it everywhere, which saves you money on feed over time and keeps the coop or run tidier and more hygienic. The 3kg capacity means you are not refilling constantly, so a small flock can be left with feed available through the day.

Made from durable green and white plastic, it is light, easy to move, and simple to fill and clean. It can be hung at the right height for your birds or stood on the ground, giving you flexibility in how you set up your coop, run or aviary.

How to Use

Fill the hopper from the top with your poultry feed, then either hang the feeder or stand it on a flat, stable surface in the coop or run. For the least waste, set the height so the tray sits at around the birds' back height, which lets them eat comfortably while discouraging them from scratching feed out or perching over it. Check the feed level daily and top up as needed. Clean the feeder regularly, keeping it dry, since damp feed can clog the hopper and spoil.

Getting the Best From It

• Hang it at the right height. Setting the tray at roughly the birds' back height cuts waste and keeps feed cleaner by stopping birds scratching in it.

• Keep feed dry. Position it under cover where possible, or bring it in from rain, as wet feed can bridge in the hopper and go mouldy.

• Don't overfill in humid weather. Fill smaller amounts more often in damp conditions so feed stays fresh in the hopper.

• Clean it regularly. Empty and wipe it out from time to time to stop old feed and dust building up in the tray and hopper.
