Kerty 25 lb Automatic Chicken Feeder — Galvanized Steel Treadle, Weatherproof Pest-Resistant

The Kerty 25 lbs Automatic Chicken Feeder is a galvanized-steel, weatherproof treadle feeder that dispenses feed only when poultry step on the pedal, keeping feed dry, clean, and protected from pests.

Built for small flocks and mixed poultry, this heavy-duty feeder stores up to 25 pounds (11 kg) of dry feed and uses a weight-activated treadle to open the lid only while birds are feeding. Its durable galvanized-steel build resists rust and outdoor exposure, while an inner grille and guided side plates reduce spill and waste. Whether you raise chickens, ducks, pheasants, or rabbits, this unit aims to simplify daily feeding and reduce loss from pests or scattering.

How does the automatic treadle mechanism work and what animals can use it?

The treadle is a non-slip pedal that lifts the lid when an animal of at least 0.88 lbs (400 g) steps on it, allowing access only while the animal stands there. When the animal leaves, the lid closes to block pests and weather. This design supports selective access for poultry and similarly sized animals.

• Activation threshold: about 0.88 lbs (400 g) to open the lid.
• Non-slip pedal for stable footing and faster learning by birds.
• Suitable for chickens, ducks, pheasants, and small mammals like rabbits.
• Closes automatically to deter rodents and reduce spoilage from rain.

How much feed does it hold and how long will that last a flock?

The feeder holds 25 pounds (11 kg) of dry feed, large enough to support about 10 average-sized chickens for roughly 11 days between refills under typical consumption patterns. Actual duration varies with bird size, weather, and supplemental feeding, but the capacity trims down daily maintenance needs considerably.

• Capacity: 25 lbs (11 kg) of dry feed.
• Estimated coverage: ~10 hens for up to 11 days under normal conditions.
• Top-loading design makes refills quick and clean.
• Reduces frequency of filling compared to small feeders.

What features cut down feed waste and withstand outdoor conditions?

The galvanized-steel construction offers corrosion resistance and durable performance in rainy or humid climates. Inside, a grille and guided side plates keep birds positioned and prevent scattering; the lid shuts between uses to keep feed dry and pest-free, cutting down on loss and contamination.

• Galvanized steel for rust resistance and long service life.
• Built-in grille stops birds from throwing feed out of the trough.
• Side plates guide birds to the correct feeding position and reduce jostling.
• Weatherproof lid seals feed from rain and reduces spoilage.

Is installation and maintenance difficult?

Installation is straightforward and requires minimal tools; the unit is designed for easy top loading and routine cleaning. Routine checks for debris and occasional rinsing keep the feeder functioning well and sanitary for your flock.

• Simple assembly with standard tools; quick to mount or set in a coop/run.
• Top lid allows fast refills and visual feed-level checks.
• Wipe or rinse the trough and pedal to remove buildup.
• Galvanized finish reduces the need for frequent paint or treatments.

Who is this for: The Kerty 25 lbs Automatic Chicken Feeder suits backyard poultry keepers, small-scale farmers, and hobbyists who want a low-maintenance, weatherproof feeding solution that reduces waste and deters pests. It’s especially useful for owners who need longer intervals between refills—such as those away weekends—or anyone seeking a durable metal feeder that stands up to outdoor conditions and mixed-poultry flocks.
