2.5 kg One Piece Poultry Feeder

Product Overview

The 2.5 kg one-piece poultry feeder in white and red is a mid-size barrel bridging the gap between brooder feeders and adult layer equipment. Its translucent barrel lets the farmer watch feed level, the red lid carries a convenient handle, and the matching red pan ring frames the eating area. Printed dimensions show a 13.5 cm top, a 21 cm overall height and a 24 cm pan diameter, with each complete feeder weighing 185.2 g and packed 150 pieces per export carton. It is the right size for growers between chick stage and adult flock.

This model is popular on farms graduating birds out of the 1.5 kg brooder feeder but not yet ready for a 10 kg barrel. The 2.5 kg capacity keeps portions fresh, the visible barrel reduces surprise empty barrels, and the handled lid means the unit doubles as a carrying pail when moving birds between pens. The red and white look coordinates with handled drinkers from the same line.

Key Features and Benefits

• Translucent barrel - remaining feed is visible without opening the lid, easing refill scheduling.
• Red lid with handle - lifts off for filling and acts as a grip for carrying the feeder.
• 2.5 kg intermediate capacity - ideal for the grower phase when small barrels run dry and large barrels sit unused.
• 24 cm feeding pan - sized for eight to fifteen growing birds to eat comfortably.
• Light 185.2 g unit - easy to lift, hang or reposition as the flock moves through housing.
• 150 pieces per carton - efficient packing for feed stores and small-farm distributors.

Materials and Quality

The barrel is molded from semi-translucent rigid plastic that stays clear enough to read feed level while resisting warping under a loaded fill. The red lid and pan ring use a tougher compound that withstands frequent lid removal and contact with beaks. Smooth walls prevent crumb bridging, and the lid keeps dust out of reserve feed. Every unit is checked visually before the 150-piece carton is sealed.

The translucent barrel is molded to stay clear enough for level checks, while the red lid and pan ring use a tougher compound that survives repeated lid removal. No screws or clips are used, so the whole unit has no small parts to lose during cleaning rounds.

How to Use and Maintain

Lift the handled lid, pour grower pellets into the barrel until the pan fills, then replace the lid. Place the feeder on dry litter or hang it at shoulder height if birds tend to perch on it. Check the translucent barrel daily and refill when feed level falls below one quarter. Clean weekly by emptying leftovers, rinsing the pan and wiping the barrel inside, then dry before refilling to avoid mold.

If birds perch on the lid, adjust the hanging height so the barrel sits too high for comfortable roosting, or move the feeder to a wire-fenced corner. The lid should seat firmly after every refill; a loose lid lets dust collect in the reserve feed. If birds perch on the lid, adjust the hanging height so the barrel sits too high for comfortable roosting, and always reseat the lid firmly after every refill. During chick-season restocking, pair this feeder with a matching drinker as a starter kit, and reseat the lid firmly so dust stays out of the reserve feed. The translucent barrel shows the feed level as a shadowed band, so refill checks take only a glance during the morning feeding round.

Applications

This feeder serves grow-out pens where birds have outgrown brooder equipment, typically from about six weeks to point of lay. It is also used by smallholders who raise a few dozen chickens at a time and prefer manageable refill sizes.

Rural feed stores stock the 150-piece carton because the 2.5 kg size is a steady seller during chick-season restocking. Mixed retail packs combining this feeder with a matching drinker are a common order format.

During chick-season restocking, rural stores pair this 2.5 kg feeder with a matching drinker as a starter kit for new farmers, because both units share the handled red-and-white look. Hatcheries also include it in grow-out sales kits where birds move from brooder to pasture at around six weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: When should chicks move to this feeder?

Usually around six weeks, when the 1.5 kg brooder feeder becomes too small for daily intake and the birds can reach a 24 cm pan comfortably.

Q2: Is the barrel really see-through?

The translucent white barrel shows feed level as a shadowed band through the plastic, which is enough to plan refills without lifting the lid.

Q3: Can the feeder be hung?

The handled lid and light 185.2 g weight make hanging practical; adjust height so the pan rim sits at the birds' shoulder level.

Q4: How many pieces fit one carton?

Each export carton holds 150 pieces, and cartons can be combined on pallets for container shipments.
