Bantam Step On Feeder | Appletons

Best automatic bantam step on feeder.

Perfect auto feeder for all small poultry breeds:
Bantams, Hamburghs, Campines, Lavender Araucanas and pheasant

We have been so impressed with these Bantam Step On Feeders for feeding our smaller ladies. 😊 The Pekin Bantams took to them quickly (little birds with high IQ's!) and now 16 years on they are still the perfect auto feeder for our smaller breeds. We are saving on feed as the sparrows just don't get the opportunity to help themselves any longer. PLUS we have been using them in our pheasant flights and they have been working well with the ringnecks, ornamental pheasants and our smaller ornamental ducks.

Benefits:

- Perfect for 3 to 6 bantam-sized chickens: this feeder will need to be topped up more regularly if you keep a larger number of hens.
- Suitable for all smaller sized fowl (Bantams, Hamburghs, Campines, Lavender Araucanas and pheasant)
- This brilliant step-on auto bantam feeder holds approximately 4kg.
- Hens are foragers and do best eating little and often throughout the day so feed on demand works best.
- Reduces hierarchy in flocks ensuring all birds get enough feed which results in happy hens and better egg production.
- Vermin-proof: Keeps out rats, mice and sparrows ensuring your poultry feed is not contaminated.
- Keeps feed clean and helps to reduce the worm burden.
- Ideal for busy people that are not always home early in the morning and late afternoon to feed their hens and those of us that go away for weekends.
- Reduces feed wastage and saves money. Open feeders can lose up to 40% of feed to sparrows and other birds.
- made - supporting local business
- The unit is made from aluminium with alloy rivets, plated steel hinges, nuts and bolts so it keeps working in adverse weather.
- Includes our very own Appletons training instructions which are clear and easy to follow. Training is very important and not to be rushed or shortened.
- Chickens need to be POL and older for training.
