Feed More Birds with Less Refilling

The Pestrol Automatic Chicken Feeder Bucket is designed to provide a steady supply of feed while reducing the amount of time spent topping up feeders.

Its generous 12-litre capacity is ideal for small to medium-sized flocks, helping ensure your birds have access to feed throughout the day.

Six Feeding Ports for Better Access

With six feeding ports positioned around the bucket, several birds can feed at the same time.

This helps reduce crowding around a single feeding point and encourages more even access to feed throughout the flock.

Helps Reduce Feed Waste

Unlike open trays that can easily be scratched through or contaminated, this gravity-fed feeder keeps most of the feed enclosed inside the bucket.

Birds place their heads into the feeding ports to access the feed, helping reduce spillage and keeping feed cleaner.

Built for Everyday Poultry Keeping

Manufactured from durable polypropylene, the feeder is designed to withstand regular outdoor use.

The bright yellow bucket is highly visible inside the coop, while the sealed feeding ports help keep feed where it belongs.

Why This Product Is Different

Many traditional poultry feeders leave feed exposed, allowing birds to scatter it across the ground where it can become wasted or contaminated.

The Pestrol Automatic Chicken Feeder Bucket uses enclosed gravity-fed ports that allow birds to access feed while helping minimise waste. Its six-port design also allows multiple birds to feed simultaneously, making it well suited to growing backyard flocks.

What to Expect

Once filled, the feeder automatically supplies feed to each port using gravity.

Birds may take a short period to become familiar with placing their heads into the feeding ports, particularly if they have previously been fed from open trays.

Most birds learn quickly through observation and repeated feeding.

For best results, position the feeder in a sheltered location where it remains dry and easily accessible.

How It Works

Fill the bucket with your preferred poultry feed and secure the lid.

As birds consume feed from the ports, gravity allows more feed to move into the feeding tubes automatically.

This provides a consistent food supply while keeping the majority of the feed protected inside the bucket.
