2.5 kg Poultry Feeder

Product Overview

The yellow 2.5 kg poultry feeder is a mid-size gravity barrel with a shaped anti-waste trough. The printed dimensions confirm a 12.3 cm top, 20 cm overall height and a 25 cm pan, while each eating slot around the trough measures about 5 cm wide and 4 cm high. Each unit weighs 136 g and ships 200 pieces per carton. The yellow color keeps the feeder visible on straw or rice-husk litter, so keepers can count feeding points at a glance during evening rounds.

The slot sizing matters for grower-stage birds: openings large enough for a chicken beak to enter, but shaped so feed cannot be scooped out in a single scratching motion. This reduces both feed loss and the mess that attracts rodents around the pen. The barrel itself is a simple one-piece form, so cleaning takes only a rinse, and farms can mix red and yellow units to separate feeding groups by age.

Materials and Quality

The feeder uses yellow-pigmented rigid plastic that resists fading under normal indoor lighting and stays firm at 2.5 kg loads. Slot edges are rounded to protect growing feathers, and the tapered inner wall guides feed toward the trough without bridging. No metal parts mean no rust concerns in damp grow-out houses, and each unit is inspected before carton packing.

Yellow pigment is mixed into the rigid plastic, so the color holds up under normal indoor lighting, and slot edges are rounded so growing feathers are not rubbed during feeding. The tapered inner wall guides feed to the trough without bridging, and the unit is inspected visually before it is sealed into the 200-piece carton for export.

How to Use and Maintain

Fill the barrel with grower pellets through the top opening and place the feeder on dry litter. Birds reach feed through the ring of shaped slots; keep the trough supplied so birds do not peck in frustration and scatter bedding. Clean weekly by emptying leftovers and rinsing slots with water, and dry before refilling to keep pellets fresh.

Run a finger around each slot during weekly cleaning to feel for cracks, and make sure no bedding has wedged between the barrel and pan. Because the shaped slots narrow feeding access, keep the trough supplied so birds do not peck in frustration and scatter bedding onto the feed.

Applications

This yellow feeder fits grow-out pens raising birds from six weeks to point of lay, where feed-waste control is already a daily concern. Color-coded farms also use yellow units for the younger group and red units for older birds.

Retail farm stores stock the 200-piece carton as a practical mid-size feeder for smallholders, and exporters commonly include it in mixed equipment containers alongside drinkers and feed scoops.

Color-coded farms use yellow units for the younger grower group and red units for older birds, so staff can tell at a glance which pen needs which feed ration. Retail stores stock the 200-piece carton for smallholders, and exporters include it in mixed equipment containers alongside drinkers, scoops and transport crates. Duck farms also adopt the slot design, since the controlled openings cut down on wet-mash waste around the pan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Growers from about six weeks upward; day-old chicks should remain on the smaller 1.5 kg brooder feeder.

Q2: Does yellow fade in sunlight?

The pigment is mixed into the plastic and is rated for normal indoor and sheltered outdoor use; long direct sun may lighten it over seasons.

Q3: How does it compare with the red 2.5 kg feeder?

Both share the same 12.3 cm, 20 cm and 25 cm dimensions at 136 g; the yellow version emphasizes shaped slots for waste control.

Q4: Can one carton cover a small farm?

With 200 pieces per box, a carton covers a medium grow-out house or several smallholder customers when resold.
