Quick overview
Shoppers dealing with a rodent problem who want a mechanical, no-power feeder
Potential advantages
- 4.3 stars across roughly 1,400 ratings on this listing, one of the more established treadle feeders
- Treadle mechanism specifically targets the rodent-access problem that trips up gravity feeders
- No power or subscription required — fully mechanical
Potential limitations
- Priced well above basic gravity feeders — you're paying for the rodent-resistant mechanism
- Birds need to learn to use the treadle; some flocks take longer to adapt, per manufacturer and buyer notes
- 20 lb capacity may mean frequent refills for larger flocks — a 40 lb version is also sold

Treadle (step-on) mechanism opens only when a bird steps on the platform
20 lb feed capacity, rated to feed about 6 chickens for up to 10 days
