Feedomatic Automatic Treadle Feeder — Clean, Safe, Pest-Resistant Feeding What is a treadle feeder? A treadle feeder is a covered feeder with a foot pedal. When a chicken or duck steps on the pedal, the lid opens so they can eat. When the bird steps off, the lid closes. This keeps mice, rats, and wild birds from stealing or dirtying the feed. How it works (simple) Fill the hopper with feed and close the lid. Set the weight sensitivity so only your birds can open it (adjusts from 250 g to 2 kg / about 0.5–4.4 lb). Your bird steps on the pedal → lid lifts. Bird steps off → lid shuts, blocking pests, rain, and mess. Why you’ll love it Stops rodents & wild birds: Closed lid and weight pedal keep pests out—less disease risk and less wasted feed. Keeps feed dry & clean: Splash-proof design, rounded edges, and inside dividers reduce spills and mold. Cleaner ground: Large holes in the pedal let droppings fall through, so the eating area stays tidy. Quiet & sturdy: Thick 1 mm galvanized steel and UV-resistant plastic make it stable, long-lasting, and quieter than all-metal feeders. Easy to refill: Lid stays open while you pour, then locks when you close it. Built to last Galvanized steel + UV-resistant plastic = no rust, no rot. AirRoute-style splash protection keeps feed dry in light rain/splashes. Designed to spill less, saving money on feed. Pick the right size 11 lb (5 kg): small flocks or tight spaces 17 lb (8 kg): medium flocks 26 lb (12 kg): larger groups 44 lb (20 kg): big flocks, fewer refills Approx. dimensions & weights 5 kg: 26 × 28 × 40 cm, ~4.8 kg 8 kg: 26 × 28 × 45 cm, ~5.5 kg 12 kg: 33 × 23 × 50 cm, ~7.2 kg 20 kg: 33 × 26 × 66 cm, ~8.6 kg Quick setup tips Start with the lightest pedal setting and show birds the feed; increase weight as they learn. Place on a level, dry surface. Store feed in metal cans nearby for extra rodent control.
