The VEVOR chicken automatic feeder lets you skip feeding your chickens every day. It does this by providing them with a steady stream of fresh food via gravity. This 40-pound feeder can feed 10 to 12 adult chickens for 12 to 17 days on a single fill. It is a must-have for people who keep chickens in their backyard, run small farms, or are often away from home.
The gravity-fed system supplies each feeding port automatically as the chickens eat. This way, the feed level stays the same all day without the need for pumps, timers, or electrical parts that could break. Once you fill the feeder, hang it or set it in place, and the system will operate automatically until the feed runs out.
If you have a 40 lb capacity, this automatic feeder will save you time and effort, since it doesn't need to be refilled every day or twice a day as smaller feeders do. Ten to twelve adult chickens can eat from a single full load for twelve to seventeen days. This means you only have to clean the feeder about twice a month instead of every day.
Polypropylene (PP) is a strong material that doesn't crack, bend, or warp when exposed to UV light or when temperatures change outdoors. The feeder is made of PP, which makes it light for its size. This means it can be moved and repositioned, even when only partly full, without the need for extra tools or a second person.
This automatic chicken feeder has three feeding ports spread out around the bottom. This way, more than one bird can eat at the same time, which is better than single-port or narrow-access feeders, which can cause fighting, pecking, and crowding in active flocks. Standard adult chicken heads fit easily through each 2.76-inch port opening. This lets birds reach their food without straining or pushing, and it naturally prevents them from engaging in larger waste-making behaviors like scooping and scattering.
The shape of the extended port places the feed opening at a natural height and depth for chickens to eat without stretching or bending awkwardly. This design choice lowers feed spillage at the port level. This directly contributes to the no-waste performance that makes this feeder more economical over time than open-tray options.
This chicken automatic feeder has three feeding ports. Each one has a detachable damp-proof cover that snaps over the hole when the feeder is not in use. This keeps rain, dew, and humidity from getting into the feed chamber and turning dry feed into a moldy mass. The port design's sealing rings make a watertight seal at the connection points between the ports and the main body. This means that even heavy rain outside can't get into the feed chamber from below or through the sides.
Also, the covers keep out moisture and prevent squirrels, wild birds, rodents, and other hungry animals from accessing the feed through the ports when your chickens aren't eating. By blocking unwanted access, you can keep your feed cleaner and use it for much longer before you need to refill it.
This chicken automatic feeder has a pointed top that slopes sharply away from the center peak in all directions. This prevents rainwater from pooling on the top and seeping into the fill hole during rain. The sloped top makes it hard for birds, squirrels, and other animals to stand or perch on comfortably. This keeps them from sitting on the feeder and dropping their droppings in the fill area.
In traditional open-tray feeders, chickens waste a lot of feed by scooping it out of the ports and onto the coop floor. The no-waste feeding system stops chickens from doing this. The feeder reduces the amount of feed that spills onto the ground and gets thrown away by giving chickens controlled, port-sized portions they eat straight from the opening. This lowers your ongoing feed costs over the life of the feeder.
This automatic chicken feeder has a built-in handle that makes moving it quick and easy. You can move it from the inside of the coop to the run outside or to storage without having to grip or carry it awkwardly. The handle can easily hold the full weight of the feeder plus its feed load, so you can move it even if it's only partly full without having to empty it first.
You can adapt the feeder to fit your coop's plan and space needs by placing it flat on the ground, hanging it from a wall hook, or mounting it on a fence post. The feeder's design is flexible enough that you don't have to change it. This VEVOR automatic feeder for chickens works well in small garden coops, large farm chicken houses, and open runs outside year-round.
