ALMA Galvanised Treadle Poultry Feeders

The Alma Galvanised Steel Treadle Feeder for poultry. Choose from a capacity of 8kg or 14kg of pelleted feed. Not suitable for mash.

Designed to keep vermin and wild birds away from your chicken's feed and prevent wastage, this all-metal feeder has 12 weight adjustments to suit many kinds and sizes of poultry. Its solid treadle plate is also suitable for smaller duck breeds.

The ALMA Feeders are made with galvanised sheet and designed to prevent the birds from wasting feed and to make it difficult for rats and other vermin to get at the feed.

When the bird stands on the treadle a tilting door opens giving access to the food; inside there is also a plastic anti-waste grid that prevents animals from throwing the feed on the ground.

The Feed trough itself is set well back under the hopper to ensure that the food is sheltered from the rain, as well as inaccessible to other unwelcome birds, mice, or vermin, thus avoiding dirt and dangerous diseases.

NOTE: Both Feeders are the same height but the 8kg is narrower (1-bird wide) than the 14kg (2-bird wide). SEE THE SPECIFICATIONS TAB FOR DIMENSIONS AND DETAILS.

Dimensions when assembled:
8kg: 47cm High x 38cm Deep incl. the treadle (Hopper is 22.5cm Deep) x 20.5 cm Wide
14kg: 47cm High x 38cm Deep incl. the treadle (Hopper is 22.5cm Deep) x 33.5 cm Wide.

The Alma Treadle Feeder is partially pre-assembled, it requires the treadle to be attached and the assembly does not require any tools. Made in Italy.

Features:
* Sloping roof: Designed to shed rainwater quickly from its top and the outflow of any condensation that may form inside.
* Accessories in plastic material: hinges for the movement of the tilting door and lid are made of plastic material for longer life.
* Feet: plastic supporting feet avoid direct contact of the metal sheet with the ground, thus preventing inevitable oxidations that compromise the life of the feeder.
* Rounded anti-drip rim: prevents the bird from getting hurt while eating and the rain from wetting the food.
* Anti-waste grid: made of plastic material, it prevents the birds from scooping out the feed.
* Adjusting cable: it is used to set the weight needed to open the tilting door. Easy to assemble and adjust without the use of tools.
* Treadle: solid metal designed to offer the bird stable and comfortable support.

The Alma has 12 weight adjustments for opening the tilting door; from 300g to 1kg, so can be set to accommodate bantam size birds as well as larger hens and ducks. With the 14kg size feeder, two birds can eat at the same time.
