Stop Feeding the Rats — Not Your Chickens

  • Tired of spilled feed, soggy grain, and rodents helping themselves to your flock’s dinner? This weight-activated metal treadle feeder is designed to keep feed secure, dry, and accessible only to your birds.

 

  • By opening only when sufficient weight is applied, the feeder helps deter rats, mice, and wild birds—so your feed goes where it belongs.

Why Backyard Poultry Owners Love It

  • Rodent-Resistant Treadle Design: The lid opens when your chicken's step on the pedal, helping block access from lighter pests.

 

  •  No-Waste Interior:  Helps reduce scratching and spillage, keeping feed contained and your coop cleaner.

 

  • Large 11 lb. Capacity:  Holds enough feed for approximately 4–6 adult chickens, minimizing refills.

 

  • Weather-Ready Construction:  Rain-resistant lid helps keep feed dry and protected from moisture.

 

  •  Stable & Chicken-Safe:  Slip-resistant treadle and reinforced base provide a steady feeding platform.

 Built for Outdoor Use

Made from powder-coated galvanized steel, this feeder is designed to withstand outdoor conditions while resisting rust and corrosion.


Training Your Flock to Use a Treadle Feeder

Most chickens learn within 7–14 days.

 

Step 1: Open Access (Days 1–5)

Prop the lid fully open so birds learn where the food is.

 

Step 2: Partial Access (Days 6–10)

Allow the lid to open halfway so chickens begin stepping on the pedal.

 

Step 3: Independent Use (Day 11+)

  1. Remove supports and allow the feeder to operate normally.
  2. Once one chicken figures it out, the rest usually follow.
