20 kg Poultry Feeder

Product Overview

The 20 kg yellow poultry feeder is a large-capacity gravity barrel built for bigger flocks and open range shelters. Its pointed roof lid sheds rain and shade, a cylindrical barrel printed with the 20 kg marking holds the reserve feed, and a circular guard ring around the pan protects the feeding area. Printed dimensions show the unit stands 47 cm tall, spans 50 cm across the roof and 50 cm across the pan base, with each complete feeder weighing 1463 g. The wide diameter means a large group of birds can eat around the pan at the same time.

The roof lid is the feature that sets this model apart from open adult feeders: it keeps rain, sunlight and overhead debris out of reserve feed, which matters for farms that keep equipment outside under simple shelters. The guard ring around the pan stops birds from climbing fully into the feed, while leaving enough spacing for heads and necks. With a 20 kg load, refill intervals stretch well beyond smaller barrels, fitting operations that feed once or twice a day at most.

Key Features and Benefits

• 20 kg large capacity - long refill intervals for flocks of thirty to fifty adult birds.

• Pointed roof lid - sheds rain and shields reserve feed from sun under open shelters.

• Protective guard ring - keeps birds out of the feed while allowing head access around the pan.

• 50 cm wide feeding ring - room for many birds to feed simultaneously without crowding.

• Sturdy 1463 g build - heavy enough to stay stable in wind and on uneven ground.

• Printed barrel marking - the 20 kg mark prevents capacity mix-ups in storage.

Materials and Quality

The large feeder uses thick rigid plastic for the barrel and roof, since the model stands outdoors and carries a heavy load. The guard ring bars are spaced to resist bending when birds lean on them, and the roof overhang covers the pan edge during light rain. Smooth inner walls let pellets flow down without bridging, and the whole unit is easy to wipe clean. Each feeder is inspected before packing to the agreed export format.

How to Use and Maintain

Lift the roof lid, pour 20 kg of pellets through the barrel opening, then seat the lid back on. Place the feeder on flat, well-drained ground or a raised platform inside the shelter. Check the pan daily and refill before the guard ring area runs empty. Clean at flock turnover by emptying leftovers, rinsing the barrel interior and wiping the guard bars, then air-dry before the next load.

During daily rounds, lift the roof lid briefly to confirm the reserve feed level, and refill before the guard ring area runs empty. At flock turnover, hose the barrel interior, wipe the guard bars and stand the unit open to air-dry, since trapped moisture can mold reserve feed between seasons. During daily rounds, lift the roof lid briefly to confirm the reserve feed level, and air-dry the unit fully after flock turnover to prevent mold between seasons.

Applications

This feeder suits free-range layer farms and village poultry projects where thirty to fifty birds share one feeding station and outdoor exposure is normal. It is also a practical choice for breeding farms that keep larger birds requiring substantial daily feed volumes.

Exporters to rural development and smallholder programs order this model as a station feeder for community poultry projects, and it pairs with our drinker line for complete open-shelter setups. Mixed container loads can combine the 20 kg feeder with smaller 10 kg units for farms at different growth stages.

Community poultry projects and village-scale farms choose this station for groups of thirty to fifty birds, where a covered feeding point keeps feed usable in open shelters. Distributors supplying development programs order it as the flagship feeder, mixing it with 10 kg units for young growers in one container. The roof design means the station works in open paddocks as long as a simple overhead shelter keeps off direct storms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How many birds can this feeder serve?

About thirty to fifty adult chickens per unit, depending on breed size and grazing access.

Q2: Can it sit fully outside without shelter?

The roof lid handles light rain, but long exposure to storms is better avoided; placing it under a simple roof extends equipment life.

Q3: Does the guard ring stop crows from stealing feed?

The ring bars limit access and reduce waste, though persistent wild birds should still be discouraged by regular feeding schedules.
