Review: Good hen feeder - This does the job but fiddly to put together but it is has good has the more expensive ones Review: Not the most substantial but the lowest cost - It works, but it's very flimsy and chickens tend to beat it up or push it round. The pedal board is shiny paint and muddy chicken feet just slip on it unless they jump on the right spot. For the effort of training birds to use one of these, get a better one. If my birds had already learned may have been better suited to winter. Fortunately they don't mind wet pellets. If I could screw it to the floor of a shed keeping rain off it would be better. ## Features - Automatic Chicken Feeders - KCT 5kg Automatic Chicken Feeders provide a simple and easy way to keep your chickens fed and happy, even if you cannot be near them - Simple Feeding - Automatic opening & closing lid for no assist chicken feeding.

If they had not slid off it would have chopped the head off, instead it just caught the beak - second thoughts maybe its a safety feature making the slide off? 6) we had near miss for a chicken putting its head in from the side when another slid off the treadle - Sorry but this is not as advertised and is going back, not rat proof and not suitable for feeding chickens ## Frequently Bought Together - KCT Automatic Chicken Feeder Self Opening Grey Steel Trough Poultry Treadle 5kg - 1 Lt Chicken Drinker with Cup and Bracket --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/495753189-automatic-chicken-feeder-self-opening-grey-steel-trough-poultry-treadle](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/495753189-automatic-chicken-feeder-self-opening-grey-steel-trough-poultry-treadle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
