Poultry Feeder Barrel Type

Product Overview

The barrel type poultry feeder from Hebei Yilu Shunfeng combines a storage barrel and a feeding tray in one compact unit, available in 2.5kg, 4kg, 6kg, 8kg and 10kg models. It is designed for farms that want a simple, dependable way to keep feed available to poultry without constant attention. Feed is stored in the upper barrel and flows down gradually to the red feeding tray as birds eat, which reduces spillage and keeps the feed fresh for longer. The automatic gravity flow means the tray is naturally refilled as the birds consume feed, so the feeder does not need to be topped up several times a day. This makes it a practical feeding solution for small and medium poultry farms, for growers raising chicks and for farmers who need to reduce daily labour around the feeding points.

Technical Specifications

The feeder body is made of translucent plastic with a red rim and a comfortable handle, allowing the remaining feed level to be seen at a glance so refills can be planned. The base tray is designed with a raised lip that limits feed waste, and the feeding edge is wide enough for several birds to eat at the same time, which reduces competition in the flock. The unit can be moved easily between pens thanks to its light weight and handle. The integrated one-piece structure means there are fewer loose parts to lose or break, which makes assembly and daily use simpler for farm workers. All surfaces are smooth and easy to clean, and the feeder can be washed with water and common farm disinfectants without damage. The capacities cover the main flock sizes, and the feeder works equally well indoors and in sheltered outdoor areas.

Manufacturing and Quality

Our factory produces the barrel feeder with robust plastic that resists cracking under normal farm use and repeated handling. The plastic is selected for its balance of stiffness and impact resistance, so the feeder keeps its shape even when carried full of feed. Edges are smoothed during production to avoid injury to birds or handlers, and the rim around the tray is reinforced where the barrel joins the base. Each piece is quality checked for stability, finish and fit before shipment, so the feeder stays level and durable through long periods of service. The translucent material is easy to inspect, and the red colouring is stable and does not fade quickly under sunlight or regular washing. Consistent moulding tolerances mean the barrel and tray stay aligned, and the feeder delivers a steady feed flow without blockages.

Applications

This feeder is ideal for chickens, ducks and other poultry kept on the floor or in small pens, and it is commonly used in starter, grower and layer stages. It works well for farms that need an affordable, easy-to-clean feeding tool that can be topped up once or twice a day. The smaller 2.5kg and 4kg models suit chick rearing and small groups, while the 6kg, 8kg and 10kg units are practical for larger floor groups and growing birds. The feeder can also be used for quail and other small poultry in confined areas. With its simple gravity design, visible feed level and low maintenance needs, the barrel feeder is a reliable choice for daily poultry feeding.
