New! SmartStep™ Poultry Feeders
 
Treadle-action door reduces feed waste!
 
SmartStep™ Poultry Feeders
 
Stop rats, mice, wild birds and other small pests from eating your flock's feed. The feeder remains closed until the chicken steps up to feed. Their heavier weight, compared to rodents and wild birds, activates the hinged door allowing access. When the bird leaves, the door closes.

Benefits:

  • Feed stays dry and protected in most weather conditions.
  • Side window allows for visual check of feed level. Lid opens toward back of feeder for filling.
  • Recessed trough design and lip reduces wasted feed. Birds can’t reach in and scratch out feed.
  • Roost is elevated 1.75" above the ground, which allows more manure to fall through, rather than collect and bind operation.
  • Treadle can be adjusted for birds’ weight. Choose from three different settings: 0.5 lbs, 1.10 lbs and 1.65 lbs.
Available in 26 and 66 lb capacity.

SmartStep™ Poultry Feeders
 
Finally a feeder that keeps the rodents and birds from getting the ladie's food. It will quickly more than pay for itself in the savings from wasted feed. This is wonderful feeder and it holds an entire bag of feed.

Choosing the Right Capacity
The answer depends on the number and size/age of the birds and how often you prefer to fill the feeders or waterers. Refer to our helpful comparison charts.

We prefer to have a one day supply of feed and water for our flocks. Being short on water results in dehydrated fowl, but having more feed than the bird’s can eat invites rodents and sparrows. Always check your birds at least once per day.
