10 kg Poultry Feeder with Legs

Product Overview

The 10 kg poultry feeder with legs combines a bright yellow barrel with a red pan and four short red legs, making it easy to recognize in mixed equipment lines. The feeder stands 35 cm tall overall on a 40 cm pan base, the barrel is 22 cm across the top, and the pan sits about 8 cm above the floor on its legs. Each unit weighs 640 g and ships 100 pieces split across two cartons. The barrel carries the printed 10 kg marking, and the built-in top handle allows a farmer to lift the barrel for washing.

The raised pan is the key reason buyers choose this version over the floor-standing red model. When the feeding tray sits above litter, droppings stay out of the ration, feed stays drier in wet seasons, and the birds adopt a natural head-down posture that matches their pecking motion. Yellow is also a practical color on range paddocks, since barrels are visible against grass and soil, and the red legs contrast strongly enough that trip hazards are obvious in low light.

Materials and Quality

The yellow barrel uses rigid plastic that stays bright under indoor lighting and resists cracking when lifted while loaded. Red legs and the pan rim use a reinforced compound that carries the weight of a full barrel without flexing. Leg joints are molded into the pan structure, so no hardware can loosen over time. Inner walls are smooth to avoid feed bridging, and each unit passes inspection before carton packing.

The yellow barrel uses a pigment chosen for indoor and sheltered use, and the red legs are molded from an impact compound that carries a full barrel without flexing. Legs are part of the pan casting, so there are no joint fasteners to loosen after months of use.

How to Use and Maintain

Choose a flat, dry spot and stand the feeder on its four legs, then fill the barrel through the top. During daily rounds, check that all four legs are still in contact with the ground; a tilted feeder causes uneven pan filling. Every two weeks, lift the barrel out of the pan, sweep the outlet clear of dust buildup and rinse both parts before reassembly. At flock turnover, disinfect the pan rim, which contacts birds most often.

During daily rounds, watch that no nesting material builds up under the pan, because lifted pans give litter an easy sheltered spot. When lifting the barrel for washing, grip the top handle with both hands, since a loaded barrel is noticeably heavier than the 640 g empty weight suggests. During daily rounds, watch that no nesting material builds up under the lifted pan, and grip the top handle with both hands when lifting a loaded barrel for washing. After cleaning, check that all four legs sit flush with the ground, because an uneven leg causes the pan to drain feed to one side.

Applications

This leg-model feeder suits layer farms and free-range setups where ground hygiene is a priority, especially in regions with high rainfall. Farmers report fewer feed-rejection issues once pans are raised above the litter line.

Feed-supply distributors stock the yellow-leg version as the upgraded option alongside the basic floor feeder, and many farms start with the cheap model and upgrade to legs as they expand. The two-carton packing fits neatly into mixed loads of drinkers and nest boxes.

Wet-season buyers value the raised design most, because feed stays clean even when the surrounding paddock turns soft. Many farms order the yellow-leg model as the premium option beside the floor-standing feeder, and customers typically upgrade once they see the difference in feed rejection rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why is this model heavier than the red floor feeder?

The 640 g weight reflects the added leg structure and reinforced pan, which also explains its raised design.

Q2: Can I remove the legs to use it on the floor?

The legs are integrated with the pan, so the model is designed as a raised feeder; floor placement is not recommended.

Q3: How many layers per feeder?

About twenty-five to thirty layers per unit, with one feeder placed per group of birds on the range.

Q4: Does the handle fit under a hanging cord?

The top handle allows lifting; some farms hang the barrel from a cord for extra height adjustment on uneven ground.
