Weight Activated Chicken Feeder With 5 Kilogram Capacity And Rodent Proof
You’re feeding your chickens, but pests like rats, sparrows, squirrels—and more—are feeding too. Daily spillage, faster bag depletion, and unwelcome visitors in your coop are common problems. BeakTox stops that with a weight‑activated treadle that only unlocks for your flock. No power, no batteries, no timers. A chicken or duck steps onto the platform, the lid opens, they eat, and as they step away the lid closes. Too light for pests to trigger the system, they stay out and your feed stays in.
Key features
- Weight‑activated mechanical treadle (no power needed)
- 5 kg capacity for multi‑day feeding, up to four adult chickens can eat without daily refills
- Weatherproof sealed lid keeps feed dry in rain, snow, moisture, wind, and debris; seals the trough between sessions to prevent mould and spoilage
- Rust‑resistant metal construction with powder‑coated protection; twice the lifespan of standard open‑bowl or hanging feeders
- SUS304 stainless steel hinge ensures smooth, quiet lid action and long‑lasting performance
- Anti‑slip patterned step platform (50 x 12 cm) provides secure footing on wet, muddy, or frosty surfaces
- Complete pest exclusion: rats and mice are too light to trigger the treadle; sparrows cannot operate it; squirrels cannot access feed; bats are blocked by the sealed lid

Frequently asked questions
Q: Will rats and mice be able to trigger the treadle and access the feed? A: No. The treadle is calibrated to adult chicken and duck body weight, preventing pests from triggering it.
BeakTox pays for itself through saved feed and reduced pest problems. Set it up, fill it, and watch your chickens eat while rats and sparrows go hungry.
