Chooktred Poultry Feeder. The no mess, no pest treadle feeder.
Although chicken treadle feeders have been around for years they have never been perfected. They are clumsy and expensive and not waterproof. Some are made of wood and not robust. Have large moving parts which can injure your chickens. Chooktred is 100% Australian made and owned.
Chooktred was developed in Australia to overcome all these problems, but most importantly is extremely simple and comes fully assembled and ready to use.
The Chooktred designed, original anti-flick grill feature minimises the amount of wasted feed due to chickens flicking through the feed tray. For best results we recommend using pellets or crumble.
Chooktred is designed for backyard chooks upwards of 1kg. Which suits most backyard breeds and bantams.

Frequently Asked Questions:
HOW MANY CHOOKS CAN IT FEED? Will feed 10 chooks for 10 days.
HOW MUCH FEED DOES IT HOLD? Holds 14kg of pellet feed.
HOW DOES IT WORK? Until a chicken steps onto the plate of the Chooktred the feed remains covered and safe from pests.
WILL IT HARM MY CHOOKS IN ANY WAY? The operation of the feeder cannot harm your chooks due to the small amount of movement when operating
WHAT TRAINING IS INVOLVED? The Chooktred has a mechanism that allows the tray to remain open whilst the chooks become familiar with the treadle. This takes anywhere from 1-3 days. Once the chooks are feeding easily and comfortably from it, just take it out of ‘training mode’ and prepare for your no pest, no mess, chook feeding future.
Q. Can the Chooktred be used with layer mash?
A. A dry layer mash is fine but anything you combine with water to create a wet porridge we do not suggest. We recommend pallets or crumble.

The food in this type of feeder is only available when poultry stand on the step plate. The feeder shutter then opens and the feed is available. This prevents access and contamination by birds and vermin.
Reduces vermin problems and food waste. Stepping on the mechanical treadle, the bird opens the tilt door that gives access to the feed. A rubber bumper prevents the tilt door from hitting the feeder back wall to reduce noise. Designed not to be opened by small animals such as wild birds etc
Green & White Poultry Feeder Buckets make it harder for poultry to dirty their food or to kick it around hence helping to prevent seed wastage. See DISCLAIMER before ordering.
Ball waterers are suited to most birds, including chickens and ducks. Its gravity forced design and small drinking area make a clean & hygienic way of providing water to poultry and other birds.
Has the same whole grain mix as the standard Coarse Layer, but without the inclusion of any soy protein meals. Its diverse mix of colours gives it a look similar to muesli.
This bowl can be connected to a hose (with the right connection) to provide a continuous water supply to your livestock or pets. Once the water bowl is full a flotation device rises, closing off the valve so no more water can enter.
