50cm 28-Hole Plastic Poultry Feeder Trough – Flip-Top Chick & Bird Feeder

50cm 28-Hole Plastic Poultry Feeder Trough

This 50cm plastic poultry feeder provides 28 separate feeding openings for chicks, quail, pigeons and other compatible birds. Its long trough design allows several birds to access dry feed at the same time, making it practical for brooders, poultry pens and aviary setups.

The hinged flip-top lid opens for straightforward filling and cleaning. When closed, the divided openings help limit birds from standing inside the feed, scratching grain from the trough or contaminating it with litter.

28 Separate Feeding Openings

The divided top helps organise access along the feeder and can reduce crowding around a single feeding point.

Its design is particularly useful for young poultry and smaller birds that are fed together in a brooder, cage or ground-level enclosure.
