1.5 kg One Piece Poultry Feeder

Product Overview

The 1.5 kg one-piece poultry feeder is a compact plastic feeding barrel made for young chicks and small poultry flocks. The unit shown in red joins a tapered barrel and a circular feeding pan into a single molded piece, so there are no loose lids, valves or separate trays to assemble. A 9 cm opening at the top is wide enough for easy filling with a scoop, while the 19 cm diameter pan gives several chicks a place to eat at the same time without crowding. At only 15.5 cm tall and 67.5 g, the feeder is light enough to lift with one hand and can be moved between brooder boxes, grow-out pens and range shelters as the birds mature.

This feeder suits farmers who raise chicks from day-old to around eight weeks and need a hard-wearing feeding point that runs without power, tubing or adjustment. Feed flows from the barrel into the pan by gravity, and the molded grid over the pan keeps birds from stepping into the feed or scratching it onto the floor. The bright red finish also makes each feeding point easy to locate inside a dim brooder house, which helps workers check fill levels during morning and evening rounds.

Key Features and Benefits

• One-piece molded construction - barrel and feeding pan are joined as a single unit, with no clips, screws or lid parts that can be lost on the farm.

• 1.5 kg feed capacity - the compact barrel holds about a day of starter crumbs for a small chick group, cutting the number of refill trips.

• Small 19 cm feeding pan - the round tray feeds several young birds at once and keeps feed contained near the barrel base.

• Molded anti-scratch grid - divider ribs over the pan limit where chicks can stand, lowering feed wastage and wet litter buildup around the trough.

• Lightweight at 67.5 g - easy to carry, lift and reposition, and simple to set on a raised stand when required.

• Packed 400 pieces per box - high packing density lowers freight cost per feeder for distributors and hatchery bulk orders.

Materials and Quality

The feeder is made of injection-molded plastic chosen for stiffness and impact resistance in poultry houses. The red barrel wall stays rigid when filled with starter feed, and the pan grid ribs flex without cracking when a chick presses against them. Smooth inner walls let feed slide down freely, while the outer surface wipes clean with water. No metal parts are used, so the unit will not rust under damp brooder conditions, and every barrel is inspected at the factory before it enters the packing line.

The smooth surface also resists dust pickup, and the material stays flexible at room temperature, so stored units do not turn brittle before use.

How to Use and Maintain

Pour dry chick feed through the 9 cm top opening until the barrel is nearly full and the pan begins to fill. Place the unit on flat, dry litter or a raised stand, away from drinker spillage. When the pan runs low, gravity releases more feed from the barrel automatically. Clean the feeder once a week by emptying leftover crumbs, rinsing the pan with clean water and letting it air-dry before refilling. Check the bottom of the barrel for caked feed after medication periods, and replace the unit if cracks appear near the pan ribs.

A quick visual sweep once a day is enough to catch any barrel that needs attention, and refills take only a few seconds per unit.

Applications

This small feeder is commonly used in brooding rooms where day-old chicks are started on starter crumbs, and in backyards where a few dozen chickens, ducks or geese are raised. Hatcheries also use it as a kit feeder for started-bird sales, because the one-piece form packs densely and opens without instructions.

Distributors serving rural farms and feed stores order the 400-piece carton for resale in regional markets. The red color coordinates with standard drinker lines, and the small footprint lets farmers place one feeder per group of fifty to eighty chicks without blocking aisle space.

Feed stores report steady repeat orders on this small feeder, since chick-season customers return each year for replacement units that have cracked at the ribs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How many chicks can this feeder serve at once?

The 19 cm pan comfortably feeds around 10 to 15 chicks at a time, and a 1.5 kg refill covers a small group for roughly one day, depending on feed type and bird age.

Q2: Can I use this feeder for adult layers?

It is sized for chicks and young growers. Adult birds usually need a 10 kg class feeder with a wider pan, because their beak size and daily feed intake are larger.

Q3: Is the barrel transparent enough to see feed level?

This red version is opaque, so fill level is checked by feel or by inspecting the top opening. A white translucent version in the same 1.5 kg line is available for direct level monitoring.

Q4: How is the feeder packed for export?

It is packed 400 pieces per carton, and mixed orders can be combined with drinkers and other poultry equipment inside one container.
