Automatic Feeder for Chickens
Why Automatic Feeders for Chickens?
Keeping chickens has traditionally been a hands-on activity, involving daily routines of feeding, watering, and coop maintenance. However, the advent of automatic feeders for chickens has revolutionized poultry care, making it more efficient and less time-consuming. At FeedFort, we’ve taken a step further by developing a patent-pending automatic chicken feeder that not only simplifies feeding but also keeps feed secure from pests, particularly rats.
Our automatic feeder for chickens utilizes cutting-edge photocell technology to detect ambient light, automatically opening to provide feed during the day and closing at dusk to keep unwanted visitors out. This not only ensures that your chickens have access to feed when they need it but also significantly reduces the risk of feed contamination and spoilage.
Benefits of Using FeedFort
Durable Construction
FeedFort’s automatic chicken feeder is crafted from high-quality American-made 5052 Aluminum, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion. This means our feeders are not just tough on pests but also built to withstand the elements, ensuring long-lasting performance in any weather condition.
Rodent-Proof Design
One of the biggest challenges chicken owners face is keeping rodents out of the feed. Rodents not only eat the feed but also carry diseases, parasites, and mites, posing a serious threat to your flock’s health. FeedFort’s design is specifically engineered to prevent rodent access, offering peace of mind and resulting in healthier, happier chickens.
Cost-Saving Features
The efficiency of our automatic feeder doesn’t just stop at keeping pests out; it also features a slow descent mechanism that minimizes feed spillage. This design choice ensures that more feed goes into nourishing your chickens rather than being wasted on the coop floor, ultimately saving you money and reducing the need for frequent feed replenishments.
How It Works
Our feeder’s operation is as straightforward as it is ingenious. By harnessing the natural cycle of daylight, the feeder’s photocell technology automatically adjusts the opening and closing of the feeder, aligning with the chickens’ feeding times. As daylight begins, the feeder opens, allowing chickens to feed throughout the day. As the sun sets, the feeder closes, keeping the feed secure and inaccessible to rodents and other pests overnight.
This automation not only simplifies your daily chores but also aligns with the chickens’ natural feeding behaviors, fostering a more natural and stress-free environment for your flock.
Installation and Maintenance
Setting up the FeedFort feeder is a breeze. Designed with the user in mind, our feeders can be easily installed in any chicken coop, with straightforward instructions that ensure you get it right the first time. And when it comes to maintenance, the sturdy aluminum construction and minimal moving parts mean there’s very little you need to do, saving you time and effort.
Maintenance is as simple as occasional cleaning to ensure the feeder operates smoothly. The durable materials used in the construction of the feeder also mean that it withstands the test of time, requiring minimal upkeep to maintain optimal functionality.

Why Automatic Feeders for Chickens?
Automatic feeders for chickens, such as ours at FeedFort, represent a significant leap forward in poultry care. By automating the feeding process, they alleviate the daily chore of manual feeding, ensuring chickens have consistent access to feed without the constant oversight from their owners. This not only optimizes the feeding schedule to match the natural daylight cycle but also significantly minimizes feed waste and prevents the invasion of pests like rats. Imagine not having to wake up at the crack of dawn or rush home to feed your flock; our feeder takes care of that, offering more freedom for you and a more natural feeding environment for your chickens.
How Safe is the Feed with an Automatic Feeder?
One common concern revolves around the safety and quality of the feed when using automatic feeders. Our FeedFort system uses high-quality American-made 5052 Aluminum that is not only durable but also resistant to corrosion, ensuring that the feed remains uncontaminated by external elements. Additionally, the feeder is designed with a rodent-proof mechanism that prevents access to pests, which could potentially bring diseases to your flock. By keeping the feed secure and clean, our feeder also aids in reducing the risk of feed spoilage, ultimately contributing to the health and well-being of your chickens.
Is an Automatic Feeder Cost-Effective?
When considering the purchase of an automatic feeder, it’s natural to weigh its cost against the benefits. While the initial investment might seem significant, the long-term savings can be substantial. Our FeedFort feeder minimizes feed waste with its slow descent mechanism, ensuring that the feed is dispensed slowly and consumed rather than spilling out onto the coop floor. This efficiency translates into direct savings on feed costs. Furthermore, by protecting your feed from pests and spoilage, you’re also saving money that might otherwise be lost to contaminated feed. Over time, the feeder not only pays for itself but also contributes to a more sustainable and economically efficient poultry keeping operation.
What Does Installation and Maintenance Entail?
Many potential users question the ease of installation and the ongoing maintenance required for automatic feeders. We’ve designed our feeder with simplicity in mind. The installation process is straightforward, allowing it to be easily integrated into any chicken coop with minimal effort. As for maintenance, due to the durable construction and minimal moving parts, there is very little that needs to be done, saving you time and hassle. Occasional cleaning to ensure the smooth operation of the feeder is all that’s required. This hassle-free approach allows you to spend more time enjoying the company of your flock rather than maintaining their feeding system.
