briidea Automatic Chicken Feeder Timer Kit — Galvanized Spin Plate, Battery or 12V Solar

The briidea Automatic Chicken Feeder Timer is a programmable motor-and-spin-plate kit that dispenses measured portions on up to six scheduled feedings daily.

This compact kit converts a standard feed container into an automated poultry feeder using a galvanized steel spin plate, low-power motor, and a front-facing digital timer. It’s built for outdoor use with corrosion-resistant metal, flame-retardant housing, and flexible mounting hardware. Choose battery power or pair with a 12V solar panel (sold separately) to keep birds fed without daily manual topping-up.

How precise are the feed amounts and timing?

The timer lets you program as many as six feed events per day, with each dispense lasting from 1 to 60 seconds so you control portion size and frequency. The spin plate throws feed roughly 1.5 to 2 meters, spreading food across a wider area to reduce crowding.

• Up to 6 programmable feedings daily
• Each feed duration adjustable from 1–60 seconds
• Throw radius about 5–6.5 feet (1.5–2 m)
• Digital clock display for accurate scheduling

What power options and battery features does it offer?

You can run the unit on four AA batteries or connect a 12V solar panel for continuous operation. The kit is engineered for very low power draw and includes a low-battery indicator on the screen so you’ll know when to replace cells before the feeder stops working.

• Operates on 4× AA batteries (not included)
• Compatible with a 12V solar panel (sold separately)
• Ultra-low power consumption for longer intervals between battery changes
• Low-battery warning visible on the LED screen

How durable and weatherproof is the feeder kit?

The rotating plate is made from galvanized steel to resist rust and outdoor corrosion, while the control housing uses flame-retardant ABS plastic for added safety. Included longer 8mm studs let you fine-tune installation height to match different container sizes and mounting points.

• Galvanized steel spin plate resists rust
• Flame-retardant ABS housing for safety
• Extra 8mm studs for easy height adjustment
• Instructions engraved on the unit for quick setup

Which animals and feeders is this compatible with?

The kit is designed primarily for poultry—chickens, ducks, and geese—but its gentle, quiet dispensing also works for other small livestock and aviary applications. The spinner fits most common feed containers and operates silently so timid animals approach without disturbance.

• Ideal for chickens, ducks, geese, and other birds
• Fits most standard feed containers
• Quiet motor prevents startling animals
• Can be adapted for ponds or bird feeders with suitable mounting

Who is this for: Farmers and hobbyists who want to automate routine feedings, reduce overfeeding, and maintain consistent schedules will benefit from the briidea feeder timer. It’s practical for small family flocks, backyard coops, and mixed-species setups where reliable, low-maintenance feeding improves flock health and frees up time for other chores.
