5kg Treadle Feeding Trough | Anti-Pest Galvanised Poultry Feeder

Protect your feed investment and keep pests at bay with our 5kg Treadle Feeding Trough. Engineered specifically for backyard chicken keepers, smallholders, and poultry breeders, this heavy-duty, anti-pest feeder is designed to keep rodents, wild birds, and bad weather completely out of your grain.

The innovative mechanical lid opens seamlessly when a bird steps onto the foot pedal, giving chickens, ducks, geese, and other poultry easy access to food while instantly locking out unwelcome visitors when they step off.

Key Features & Benefits of the 5kg Treadle Feeding Trough

• Pest & Rodent Proof: The step-on treadle mechanism ensures the lid remains tightly closed until your poultry uses it, effectively starving out rats, mice, and wild birds.

• All-Weather Protection: Constructed from a rugged, weather-resistant galvanised metal body that keeps your expensive grain bone-dry, even during heavy rain.

• Drastically Reduces Waste: Features a built-in trough design that prevents birds from scratching, spilling, or tossing feed out onto the floor, saving you money on feed costs.

• Clean & Hygienic Grain: By keeping the feed completely enclosed, it remains free from wild bird droppings, dampness, and outdoor debris, ensuring a healthier flock.

• Durable Metal Build: Crafted from premium galvanised steel to prevent rusting, chipping, or chewing from rodents, offering years of reliable outdoor use.

💡 Training Tip for Your Flock:

When introducing the treadle feeder for the first time, place a small weight (like a brick or a stone) on the pedal for the first 2 or 3 days to keep the lid propped open. This allows your birds to get comfortable eating from the trough. Once they know where the food is, remove the weight, and they will naturally learn to step on the pedal to open it themselves!
