Although chicken treadle feeders have been around for years they have never been perfected. They are clumsy and expensive and not waterproof.Some are made of wood and not robust, have large moving parts which can injure your chickens. Chooktred is 100% Australian made and owned. Chooktred was developed in Victoria, Australia to overcome all these problems, but most importantly is extremely simple and comes fully assembled and ready to use.
