Designed to help reduce feed waste and protect poultry feed from wild birds and pests, the Hatching Time Feedomatic Automatic Treadle Chicken Feeder uses a treadle-activated platform that opens only when chickens step onto it. The enclosed feeding area keeps feed dry even in wet outdoor conditions, helping maintain feed quality and supporting cleaner feeding routines. Constructed from galvanized metal and durable plastic components, this feeder resists rust and is built to withstand long-term outdoor use. The design helps limit contamination by keeping feed covered when not in use, making it a practical solution for backyard flock owners looking for more controlled and efficient feeding.
