Rats don't need much of an invitation. An open feeder, a gap under the lid, a few pellets left out overnight and you've got a pest problem alongside your flock. The Heritage treadle feeder is built to close that door.
The weight activated treadle only opens when a chicken steps on it. Rats, mice, and wild birds don't trigger it, they're too light. When your bird steps off, it shuts again. Your feed stays sealed, dry, and where it belongs.
Built from galvanised steel and aluminium alloy, it holds up to 11kg of pellets, roughly a week's supply for ten hens. The anti slip treadle gives your birds a secure footing, while the side plates block birds from feeding through the flanks and prevent any risk of a wing becoming trapped if the treadle closes. An anti flick mesh grill at the feed trough stops hens from scattering pellets, and the sloped rear ensures nothing gets stuck at the back.
11kg capacity: approximately one week's supply for 10 hens
Weight activated treadle: excludes rats, mice and wild birds
Anti-slip treadle plate: secure footing for the birds
Side plates: prevent side-feeding and reduce injury risk
Anti-flick mesh grill: reduces feed scatter and waste
Adjustable treadle sensitivity: suits different bird weights including smaller breeds
Galvanised steel and aluminium alloy: corrosion resistant
Sloped rear hopper: no feed pockets or wasted pellets at the back
Dimensions: 42cm L × 51cm D × 28.5cm H
Not suitable for mash or grain - pellets and crumble only.

Heritage Galvanised Treadle Chicken Feeder 11kg | Rat Proof FAQs
What is a treadle feeder and how does it work?
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
What is a heritage treadle poultry feeder?
A heritage treadle poultry feeder is an automatic chicken feeder made from durable galvanised steel and aluminium that opens when a chicken steps on the treadle, allowing access to feed while keeping pests and vermin out.
How does a treadle chicken feeder keep rats and mice away?
The feeder uses a weight-activated treadle system, meaning only chickens are heavy enough to open it. Rats, mice, and wild birds cannot trigger the mechanism, preventing them from accessing the feed.
Is this poultry feeder weatherproof?
Yes, the Heritage treadle feeder is fully weatherproof. It is crafted from galvanised steel and aluminium, protecting feed from rain and harsh outdoor conditions while reducing waste
How much feed can the Heritage treadle feeder hold?
This feeder can hold up to 11kg of chicken feed, which is enough to feed approximately ten chickens for up to a week.
Does the feeder reduce feed waste?
Yes, the feeder includes an anti-flick grill that prevents chickens from scattering feed outside, helping to minimise waste and save money.
Is the treadle safe for chickens to use?
Absolutely. The feeder features an anti-slip treadle for stability and side plates that prevent other birds from accessing the feed or becoming trapped.
Can the treadle be adjusted for different chicken sizes?
Yes, the treadle position is adjustable, allowing you to customise it based on the weight and size of your chickens for optimal operation.
How does the feeder prevent feed from getting stuck?
The feeder is designed with a sloping rear, ensuring that feed flows smoothly towards the front and does not get stuck at the back.
Are Heritage treadle feeders durable?
Yes, they are constructed from high-quality galvanised steel and aluminium, making them strong, stable, and long-lasting even in outdoor environments.
Why should I choose a treadle feeder for my chickens?
A treadle feeder saves time and money by reducing feed waste, keeping pests out, and allowing chickens to feed freely whenever they need, all while maintaining clean and protected feed storage.
