6 kg One Piece Poultry Feeder

Product Overview

The 6 kg one-piece poultry feeder combines a translucent white barrel, a red feeding pan and matching red support legs into one complete unit. Birds eat from the raised pan while the barrel above stores up to 6 kg of feed, and the legs lift the whole trough clear of litter so droppings, water and bedding stay out of the ration. A wire handle fixed to the barrel top lets one person lift or hang the feeder during house cleaning.

The barrel section is 28 cm tall and the legs add another 8 cm of height, giving a pan edge at a comfortable standing level for growers and light layers. The top opening measures 17 cm and the red pan spreads to a 33 cm base diameter. Each complete unit weighs 411.4 g, heavier than the simple floor bucket models because of the leg frame, and it is packed 200 pieces into 1 bag and 2 boxes for export.

Key Features and Benefits

• Elevated leg frame - four legs lift the pan 8 cm off the floor, keeping feed away from wet litter and reducing contamination.

• Translucent white barrel - the semi-transparent wall lets staff see the remaining feed level without opening the top, so refills can be planned ahead.

• Built-in lifting handle - the wire handle on top makes it easy to carry, tilt for cleaning or hang the unit up while the house is disinfected.

• 6 kg capacity - the larger hopper matches medium flocks that need less frequent topping up than the 4 kg bucket feeder.

• One-piece assembled design - barrel, pan and legs arrive as a fitted unit, so farmers can unpack and place it without assembling loose parts.

• Red pan and leg contrast - the red trough rim is easy to inspect at a glance for leftover feed, caking or damage.

Materials and Quality

The white barrel is moulded from translucent plastic that lets the feed level show through, while the red pan, rim and legs use a rigid plastic suited to the mechanical stress of standing on a barn floor. The wire handle is fixed firmly into the barrel top so repeated lifting does not pull it free. Because the unit is delivered pre-assembled, there are no loose clips or screws to lose, and the 411.4 g weight reflects the extra material used for the leg support. Each piece is checked for straight legs, a level pan and a free outlet before the 200-piece pack is sealed.

How to Use and Maintain

Unpack the unit and set it on flat ground, pressing the legs gently until all four stand evenly. Pour feed through the 17 cm top opening until the pan fills, then watch the first meal to confirm the outlet flows smoothly. When the flock is processed, lift the feeder by the handle, tip out remaining feed and hose the barrel and pan clean. Between flocks the legs can be left attached, and the whole unit can be hung by the handle from a batten while the floor is washed and disinfected, then lowered back into place for the next batch.

Because the barrel is semi-transparent, managers running several houses can do a quick visual check from the aisle without lifting each lid or opening each unit, which matters when staff rounds are tight at midday. The red pan and legs also make the feeder easy to spot at a distance, so even in a long shed the whole feeding line is visible from the doorway. Farms that mix this unit with floor buckets on the same site often find the leg version lasts longer, since the elevated design keeps the plastic away from damp litter that otherwise speeds up wear on the base.

Applications

This leg-mounted 6 kg feeder suits grower houses, small layer units and duck or goose yards where keeping the pan off the litter is a priority. It is also popular in free-range setups, because the raised position makes the feeding station visible to birds outdoors while the barrel shields feed from rain once units are placed under cover.

For distributors, the one-piece design is a selling point: customers receive a ready-to-use feeder rather than a bag of parts. The white and red combination also photographs clearly in catalogues, making it easy to show how the handle, pan and legs work together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Do the legs come attached or need assembly?

This is a one-piece feeder, so the red legs and pan are already fitted to the white barrel when it arrives; you only need to unpack and place it.

Q2: Can I see how much feed is left?

Yes, the translucent white barrel wall shows the feed level from a distance, which helps workers plan refill trips around the house.

Q3: How high does the pan sit off the ground?

The legs add 8 cm of height below the 28 cm barrel, lifting the trough edge to a natural standing height for growing chickens and ducks.

Q4: What is the export packing?

Each pack holds 200 pieces split across 1 bag and 2 boxes, and our team can advise on container mixing with other feeder sizes to optimise freight cost.
