What is a Treadle Feeder and How Does It Work?

A Treadle Feeder and some times called an automatic chicken feeder is an ingenious way to save a bundle on your feed bill. It is Anti-Waste, Pest Proof and keeps the feed safe and dry at all times. Our treadle feeder is a great addition to any backyard chicken coop or hobby farm
The design of the Urban-Egg treadle designed and uses thick galvanized metal construction for a long life. Chickens and other birds like Ducks quickly learn to step on the treadle or platform which opens the tilt door giving access to the feed. 2 birds can feed at one time
The Urban-Egg treadle feeder employs a unique yellow nylon anti-waste grill preventing birds from scattering and wasting feed. The anti-waste grill also makes for a much quieter closing meaning now loud banging when the door closes to scare the birds
Our treadle feeder comes in two sizes: 20lb feed capacity / 40lb capacity
