Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
When using the Feedomatic the feed is only accessible when your chickens stand on the treadle step. Mice, rats and birds will never gain access and thus cannot contaminate the feed or eat it. The Feedomatic protects your flock from dangerous diseases and saves you money on wasted feed.
- - Durability: This metal and plastic poultry treadle feeder offers superior durability compared to traditional all-plastic feeders. The metal sheets have a thickness of 1mm, and hypermodern metallurgy machinery ensures seams are tight and there are no cracks. The plastic parts contain UV-resistant additives, making it durable in the sun. The combination of metal and plastic construction ensures long-lasting performance, even in harsh outdoor environments
- - Pest Resistance: The sturdy metal components of the treadle feeder make it more resistant to pests such as rats and mice. These critters can easily chew through plastic feeders, but the inclusion of metal parts discourages their attempts, protecting the feed from contamination
- - Less Noise: Another useful benefit, the use of plastic makes this automatic treadle feeder a lot quieter than its competitors. Metal to plastic makes less noise than metal to metal, thus not spooking your hens
- - Optimal Feed Protection: The design of the treadle feeder prevents wild birds and other small animals from accessing the poultry feed. The weight-activated treadle system ensures that only the poultry can open the feeder's lid, keeping the feed secure and reducing wastage caused by spillage or contamination. The feeder itself is provided with partitions and a spill preventative edge that greatly reduces spilling
- - Hygienic and Easy to Clean: Metal and plastic construction facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance of the feeder. The smooth surfaces and materials used make it resistant to stains and odors, allowing for effortless sanitation to maintain a healthy feeding environment for your poultry
- - Adjustable Feed Flow: The mechanism which controls the access to the feed trough can be precisely adjusted from 0.50lb up to 4.5lbs. This way the correct threshold weight can be set for poultry of any kind or size. This feature allows you to control the amount of feed dispensed, ensuring that your poultry receives an adequate and controlled portion of food. Adjusting the feed flow also helps in reducing wastage and managing feeding schedules more efficiently

Some animals need to get used to their new treadle feeder. Training them only takes approximately two or three days. Put a stone or a weight on the treadle to show the animal where the food is. Sometimes it might be helpful to keep the stone for a day or two on the treadle, this way the animals will discover themselves where the food is.
