Automatic Chicken Feeder

(Easy DIY Gravity-Fed Chicken Feeder Attachment – Reduce Waste & Keep Feed Clean!)

Turn any plastic bucket or barrel into a clean, efficient automatic chicken feeder with these durable white plastic feeder ports (PH-223 inside-mount or PH-224 outside-mount) – the smart, low-cost solution loved by Kenyan poultry farmers for broilers, layers, kienyeji, and small flocks in Nairobi and rural areas!

Key Features:

• Food-grade durable plastic – non-toxic, UV-resistant & easy to clean; withstands pecking, sun exposure & frequent washing
• Two installation options:
  • PH-223 – installs from inside the bucket (drill 80 mm hole); feeder cup sits inside for maximum stability
  • PH-224 – installs from outside the bucket/barrel (drill 70–75 mm hole); cup protrudes outward – great for barrels or larger containers
• Large anti-waste feeding cup – wide, deep tray catches feed & prevents scratching/spillage; birds eat only what they need
• Gravity-fed design – feed flows automatically as chickens eat; no electricity or batteries required
• Comes with stoppers/plugs – included rubber/plastic caps let you close off unwanted ports or adjust number of feeding points
• Smooth rounded edges – safe for birds; no sharp parts to cause injury
• Quick & simple installation – drill hole → insert port → secure from opposite side → fill bucket → hang or place

Why Kenyan poultry keepers choose these feeder ports:

• Drastically reduces feed waste – chickens can’t scatter or soil feed like in open trays or on the ground
• Keeps feed dry & clean – elevated cup design prevents wet bedding, mold & contamination (lower risk of coccidiosis & diseases)
• Affordable DIY upgrade – turn cheap buckets/barrels into professional-looking feeders for just a fraction of the cost
• Works for all poultry types – broilers, layers, kienyeji, guinea fowl, ducks – suitable for 10–50 birds per bucket depending on setup
• Easy to manage large flocks – hang multiple buckets at different heights or use barrels for bigger pens
• Long-lasting & low-maintenance – rinse or scrub clean; withstands daily farm use for years

Ideal for: Backyard kienyeji chickens, small broiler units, layer cages, free-range setups, or any low-budget poultry project in Nairobi County, Kiambu, Machakos, Nakuru & rural Kenya.
