All about this product
Product description
A treadle feeder keeps feed protected between meals. The lid stays shut until a chicken stands on the textured aluminum pedal; once it steps off, the lid closes again. It stands 11.25 inches tall (28.6 cm) on a footprint 16.5 inches wide and 20 inches deep (42 x 51 cm), including the pedal.
The hopper holds 25 lb (11.3 kg) of feed, so you refill less often. A rain cover over the top and the closing lid are described as weatherproof, helping keep feed dry outdoors. The body is galvanized steel with aluminum parts, and the feeding opening measures 13.5 inches (34 cm) long, with the pedal about 3.75 inches (9.5 cm) above the ground.
The lid opens for chickens weighing over 0.55 lb (250 g), so very small chicks will not be able to open it; start them on a regular dish. It weighs 9.24 lb (4.2 kg) empty and ships with a manual. Set it on level ground, and wipe out old feed and dampness before refilling. Check that hens get used to the pedal over a few days.
Why we chose it
A 0.55 lb minimum weight and a closing lid are stated, so you can tell whether your flock and your weather suit a treadle feeder.
