The Australian Fabricated Chicken Feeder
Chicken keeping is a step towards sustainable simple living.
But, if you are………
Sharing your chicken feed with the local mouse, rat & sparrow population?
Needing to race home (before chook curfew) just to feed them?
Not able to go away for a break without having to ask friends or neighbours to feed your feathered flock?
Well here’s the answer that allows you to enjoy backyard eggs while fitting chicken keeping into the busiest lifestyle.
What is a Treadle Chicken Feeder?
Our treadle operated feeder is essentially a feeding tray with a hopper and a platform mechanism that the chicken stands on, which lifts the lid of the feed tray open, so that the chickens can access feed when they require it.
This style of feeder ensures chicken feed is safe from birds and rodents that are attracted to the pellets, once chickens are asleep or out free ranging. When choosing your feeder ensure that it well made, no sharp edges and the operating mechanism is robust , safe and it is easy to use for the chickens and yourself.

Save money on feed
Difficult for pests and birds to feed alongside your feeding chickens
Feed Restrictor stops overflow of feed from tray.
Optional anti-sctach grate for when feeding mixed grains with determined chooks.
All feeders come with an inbuilt
Feed Tray Restrictor
The feed tray has a built in restrictor insert which means that feed tray fills up to only a third. We designed it like this as it eliminates the overflow of feed and ensures feed in tray is not flicked out easily.
Add to your Feeder the Anti Scratch Grate Insert
We noted that the habit of flicking or attempting to scratch increases if feeding mixed grains as they search for their favourite grains.
You can add an anti-scratch grate to reduce feed loss through this pick-and-flick activity.
Not usually required if feeding pellets.
