1.5 kg One Piece Poultry Feeder

Product Overview

The 1.5 kg one-piece poultry feeder in yellow is a compact gravity barrel built for chick rearing, with attention to feed-saving detail in the pan design. As the printed dimensions show, the top opening measures 9 cm, the barrel stands 15.5 cm tall and the pan spreads to 19 cm, with each molded eating slot in the trough about 3.5 cm wide and 2.6 cm high. These slot sizes let chicks reach feed with their beaks while making it harder for them to scratch or flip the ration out of the tray. The complete feeder weighs 67.5 g and ships 400 pieces in one box.

Bright yellow is chosen because it contrasts strongly with wood shavings or rice-husk litter, so feeding points are never hidden under bedding as the flock moves around. Farmers running several pens can color-code equipment, and yellow barrels are easy to count during weekly stock checks. Like the rest of the line, the unit has no loose parts, which matters when chicks are curious and keepers want equipment that survives constant handling.

Key Features and Benefits

• Anti-waste trough slots - each opening is about 3.5 cm wide and 2.6 cm high, controlling how much feed chicks can pick up per move.

• High-visibility yellow color - barrels stand out on light litter, speeding up inspection and refill walks.

• One-piece molded form - barrel and pan share a single wall structure, eliminating assembly and wear points.

• Small 1.5 kg capacity - keeps portions fresh for chicks, which is important when starter crumbs are changed between growth phases.

• Light 67.5 g unit - effortless to lift, place on a brick stand or move to a disinfecting rack.

• 400 pieces per carton - efficient export packing for feed-supply wholesalers.

Materials and Quality

The feeder is injection molded from yellow-colored rigid plastic that resists brittleness in cool brooder rooms and does not fade quickly under normal indoor lighting. Pan slot edges are rounded, so chick feathers and beaks are not rubbed as birds eat. The barrel wall is smooth inside to prevent crumb bridging, and the whole unit can be hosed down after each growth batch before the next group of chicks moves in.

Slot edges are tested by hand on each production run, because sharp flash can rub young feathers as birds reach through the trough. The yellow pigment is mixed into the raw material, so the color stays even even where the unit is scuffed by contact with litter.

How to Use and Maintain

Fill the barrel through the top with dry starter crumbs and place the feeder on level litter, away from where drinkers spill. Chicks reach feed through the ring of slots around the pan. Clean weekly by shaking out old crumbs and rinsing the pan, then inspect each slot edge for cracks. Because the feed-saving slots narrow the feeding area, keep the pan filled so birds are not pecking at an empty tray and scattering bedding.

During the weekly clean, run fingers around each slot to feel for cracks, and check that no bedding has wedged between the barrel and pan. A propped-open lid while drying speeds up the process and prevents trapped moisture inside the barrel. During the weekly clean, open each slot to confirm no bedding has wedged between the barrel and pan, and set the unit upside down to dry before refilling.

Applications

The yellow feeder is favored in brooder houses where feed cost is a major budget line, since the shaped slots cut down on wasted crumbs. It also suits free-range setups with sheltered nighttime housing, where high visibility prevents workers from stepping on units in the dark.

Wholesalers across Southeast Asia and the Middle East stock this model for smallholder resale, pairing it with yellow drinkers to form matching feeding kits. Farms raising ducks alongside chicks also report good results, as ducks learn the slot feeding pattern within a day or two.

Educational farms and petting zoos also choose this feeder, because the visible yellow barrel and shaped slots teach visitors how chick feeding equipment works without the mess of an open tray. The 400-piece carton fits easily onto a standard pallet for regional distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Will the 3.5 cm slots stop chicks from scratching feed out?

The shaped slots greatly reduce scratching waste compared with an open pan, while still letting chicks access feed comfortably during early growth.

Q2: Is yellow plastic safe for poultry?

The feeder uses ordinary pigmented rigid plastic, the same material class as the other colors in this line, with no exposed metal components.

Q3: At what age should chicks move off this feeder?

Once birds outgrow the slot opening, typically around six to eight weeks, move them to the 2.5 kg feeder with a larger pan.

Q4: Can the 400-piece carton be split into smaller retail packs?

Retailers can repack the carton, and our sales team can provide outer carton dimensions to plan warehouse storage.
