Plastic Poultry Feeder 8Kg PPF13

Plastic Poultry Feeder 8kg PPF13

The Plastic Poultry Feeder 8kg PPF13 is a practical dry-feed solution for bantams, standard chickens and larger chicken breeds. Its larger 8kg capacity makes it suitable for backyard coops, poultry runs and small flocks where frequent refilling is inconvenient.

Made from UV plastic, the feeder can be suspended from a suitable chain at feeding height or placed securely on the floor. Raising the feeding section above ground level helps reduce the amount of dirt, bedding and debris scratched into the feed.

Hanging or Floor Placement

The feeder can be installed according to the layout of your chicken coop or poultry enclosure.

• Hang it securely from a suitable chain

• Adjust it to a comfortable feeding height

• Place it on a clean and level floor when hanging is not suitable

• Keep it away from wet ground and exposed areas

• Avoid positioning it directly beneath roosting perches

A raised position can help keep feed cleaner and reduce contamination caused by chickens scratching through loose bedding.
