Training Chickens to use an Automatic Feeder :-)

Chickens don't know how to use Treadle Feeders so you have to train them. These chickens took a day to learn so it seems to have worked.

When they all left made me die

[@deborahdenhardt3261]

just had a laugh at yr unpredictable chickens and hopefully have a new feeder trick too. thanks

[@Madronaxyz]

My chickens' favorite foods are hamburger and grapes

[@fionamatthews1884]

Great video. What brand is the feeder or did you make it yourself?
Cheers, Fiona.

The feeder is no longer with us so I can't tell you the brand I'm afraid. It was a commercial one and quite sturdy.

[@MrOzzy281]

What size hopper is that? 10kg?

[@effingpot]

That's a 5KG one - search 'Burnhills Galvanised Treadle Poultry Feeder' on UK ebay and you'll see details

[@samandmorgan]

what is the width of the feeder?

[@effingpot]

About 18 inches (45cm).
