4 kg Poultry Feeder

Product Overview

The 4 kg yellow poultry feeder is a bright floor-standing bucket feeder built for starter and grower birds. The central barrel holds up to 4 kg of crumbs or pellets and feeds the circular pan by gravity, while the yellow finish makes the unit highly visible against straw, wood shavings or concrete floors. On this model the grill compartments are measured at 5.5 cm wide and 4.5 cm high, openings sized for smaller beaks and necks so chicks can eat comfortably without adult birds monopolising every spot.

The unit stands 23 cm tall, has a 14.5 cm top opening and a 29 cm base pan, and weighs 208 g. The narrower top opening compared with other red versions keeps the hopper compact, while the pan diameter stays broad enough for several birds to feed at once. Packing is 200 pieces in one bag and one cases, a standard export quantity that suits distributors stocking feeder lines for rural supply shops.

Key Features and Benefits

• Measured grill openings - each eating slot is 5.5 cm wide and 4.5 cm high, sized so smaller birds can access feed while wasteful scratching is limited.
• High-visibility yellow colour - bright yellow contrasts with most bedding colours, helping workers spot and clean every unit during rounds.
• Compact 14.5 cm top - a smaller opening speeds up controlled pouring and cuts spillage during daily refill sessions.
• 4 kg gravity hopper - holds starter crumbs or grower pellets and feeds the ring pan automatically as the level drops through the day.
• Light 208 g construction - the whole unit is easy to lift, rinse and move between brooder and grower houses as the flock grows.
• 200-piece export packing - bag and cases are labelled for carton control, simplifying stock counting at the distributor and on the farm.

Materials and Quality

Like the rest of this feeder family, the yellow unit is moulded from plastic with a smooth tapered inner wall that lets crumbs slide freely. The bright pigment is mixed into the material rather than painted on, so the colour stays visible even after months of handling. Grill bars and pan rim are formed together, giving the divider slots exact 5.5 cm by 4.5 cm openings that are consistent piece to piece. Factory checks cover slot dimensions, wall finish and outlet freedom, and export packaging keeps the stack of 200 pieces clean and undamaged on arrival.

How to Use and Maintain

Introduce the feeder when chicks move from small chick trays into floor housing, placing one unit for every group of young birds so no one is crowded out. Fill through the 14.5 cm opening, then watch the first few meals to confirm crumbs flow into the pan at the right depth. At cleaning time, empty remaining crumbs, brush the slots clear of dust and feathers, and rinse with warm water if oily feed has built up. Dry before refilling, and keep spare feeders stacked in a dry storeroom away from sunlight to slow colour fading.

Farmers who rear their own replacements often keep one yellow feeder for the starter shed and move it to a different house each batch, because the compact 29 cm footprint fits easily on a brooder table or a corner of the grower ring. The bright colour also helps catch problems early: feed left overnight in the pan stands out against yellow plastic, so staff notice wet or spoiled rations before the flock does. For hatcheries and small breeding farms, this visibility turns a simple feeder into a small management tool that supports healthier pullet flocks.

Applications

This yellow 4 kg feeder fits chick starter programmes, pullet rear farms and mixed backyard flocks where birds still have small beaks. The measured slot size prevents wasteful scattering of fine crumbs, which matters most when starter feed is the most expensive ration on the farm.

It also works well in educational farms, village demonstrations and shop display lines, because the cheerful yellow colour is easy to photograph and easy for customers to pick out on a shelf. Distributors often pair it with the matching yellow drinker from the same range for a coordinated house setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Are the 5.5 cm by 4.5 cm slots suitable for chicks?

Yes, the openings are sized so young beaks and necks reach the feed comfortably while limiting scratching and tread-in waste typical of very fine starter crumbs.

Q2: How does the yellow version differ from the red 4 kg feeder?

Both hold 4 kg and stand 23 cm tall on a 29 cm pan; the yellow model highlights measured slot dimensions and a 14.5 cm top opening, while the red model uses a 22 cm top opening.

Q3: Can I use it for adult layers?

Adult layers can feed from it, but the slot size is optimised for younger birds; for mature flocks the 6 kg or 8 kg leg-mounted models give easier standing access.

Q4: How many pieces come in one export box?

The yellow 4 kg feeder is packed 200 pieces per bag into one cases, and our sales team can quote mixed-container arrangements if you also order drinkers or larger feeders.
