Frequently asked questions

How does the PestOff Chicken Feeder keep rats out?

Individually spring-loaded feeding ports respond to weight — they open under your chickens and stay shut for rats, pigeons, crows, and magpies. It is 100% pest-proof by design.

How many chickens can feed at once?

The feeder has 2 spring-loaded feeding ports, so two chickens can feed at the same time.

How long does 8 lbs of feed last?

A laying hen typically eats about 1/4 lb of feed a day, so the 8-lb hopper provides roughly 32 hen-days of feeding — around 16 days for 2 hens, 8 days for 4 hens, or 5 days for 6 hens. And because rats and wild birds cannot steal from it, every pound goes to your flock.

Do I have to train my chickens or adjust anything?

There are no settings or adjustments — unlike treadle feeders, the spring-loaded ports work automatically under your chickens' weight, so there is no calibration phase where pests can get in.

Can it stay outside in rain and snow?

Yes — it is 100% weatherproof, keeping feed dry and fresh in any conditions.

Will it rust?

It is built from high-grade metal components for long-lasting outdoor performance.

How big is it?

15.7 in × 8.3 in × 8.3 in (40 × 21 × 21 cm), holding up to 8 lbs (4 liters) of feed. Feed is not included.

How do I clean and refill it?

It disassembles effortlessly, without tools, for quick cleaning and refilling.
