8kg Treadle Feeder with Ratguard factory fitted
A galvanised, vermin resistant, all weather feeder.
Feed is only exposed when the bird activates the smooth, quiet treadle.
The secure lid conveniently stays upright when filling.
When the chicken steps onto the treadle, the Feedomatic opens the flap for accessing the feed. This way pests, like mice, rats and bird, can’t get any more to the feed of your poultry!
Due to the great feed storage capacity, you will save time as you will not have to refill constantly the feeder as before. The most important feature is that the feed stays dry and protected.
Advantages of the new Feedomatic
Better resistance to outdoor conditions due to better sealing.
The feed trough the chickens feed from is made from plastic with rounded corners. Therefore the chance of mould growing is strongly reduced.
The special form of the feed trough makes sure that the animals can not scratch the feed out of it. This is accomplished by the presence of dividers and a special edge against spilling. Feed spilling is reduced to a minimum.
Easier to be filled and refilled as the lid, once opened, stays in vertical position. When the lid is pressed down again, it is automatically locked.
Very durable plastic treadle on which excrement cannot accumulate.
Extensive possibilities to set the weight for guaranteeing the access to the trough. This depends of course of the animal species to feed. Minimum weight to be set is 250g up to a maximum weight of 2Kg. For animals with a body weight of 500g, for example, the treadle weight should be set to 250g and for animals with a body weight of 5Kg this value should be 2Kg.
Plastic parts made of high quality material. All these parts are UV resistant and therefore very durable.
Galvanized metal sheet parts are 1mm thick. This makes the Feedomatic a very stable feeder.
As the trough part of the feeder is made of plastic, the Feedomatic makes less noise! Metal on plastic makes less noise than metal on metal.

Treadle Chicken Feeder with Ratguard fitted | 8kg Feed Capacity
A treadle feeder is a poultry feeder designed to be rodent-resistant, featuring a lid that opens solely when a bird presses down on the treadle plate. This mechanism stops wild birds and rodents from reaching the feed, thereby minimizing waste and lowering the chance of disease.
What advantages does a treadle feeder offer?
Rodent and pest control: Helps keep rats, mice, and wild birds away from your feed
Feed savings: Cuts down on spills and theft
Hygiene: Keeps the feed clean and free from contamination
Weather protection: The lid keeps rain and moisture out of the feed
Why choosing a Feed-O-Matic treadle feeder is a smart decision:
✅ 1. Rodent-Proof Design
The Feed-O-Matic uses a weighted treadle system that only opens when a chicken steps on it. This prevents rats, mice, and wild birds from stealing feed, saving money and reducing contamination risk.
✅ 2. Durable Construction
Made from galvanized steel and heavy-duty plastic, it’s rust-resistant and built for outdoor use. This ensures long life even in harsh weather conditions.
✅ 3. Adjustable Sensitivity
You can adjust the treadle weight to suit different bird sizes, making it ideal for mixed flocks or smaller breeds.
✅ 4. Large Capacity Options
Available in sizes from 5 kg to 20 kg, so you can choose the right model for your flock size and reduce refilling frequency.
✅ 5. Hygienic & Cost-Effective
Keeps feed dry and clean, Reduces waste and feed loss and Helps maintain biosecurity by limiting access to pests.
