Mega 4 Port Chicken Feeder | 50L Capacity

Dramatically reduce feed waste and lower your feed bills!

Tired of watching chickens scratch out expensive feed onto the ground where it gets trampled, soiled, and eaten by pests? This 50-litre feeder uses gravity-fed ports with rain hoods that significantly reduce scratching, flipping, and contamination. Feed stays dry and clean inside the weatherproof bucket, and the port design keeps far more feed in the feeder where it belongs - meaning lower feed bills for you.

Capacity: 50 litres (30-40kg feed) | Dimensions: 51cm (H) x 40cm (W) x 41cm (D) | Weight: Approximately 4kg empty | Fully assembled and ready to fill

Key Benefits

Dramatically Reduces Feed Waste - Port design with deep, tunnel-style 90mm openings significantly reduces scratching and scattering compared to open feeders, keeping more feed in the feeder where it belongs

Keeps Feed Dry & Fresh - Weatherproof lid and rain hoods protect feed from moisture, preventing mould and spoilage even in outdoor runs

Large 50L Capacity - Holds 30-40kg feed depending on type - dramatically reduces refilling frequency for larger flocks

Lowers Feed Costs - By reducing waste and spillage, you'll use significantly less feed per bird, reducing your monthly feed bills

Reduces Pest Attraction - Less scattered feed on the ground means fewer rats, mice, wild birds, and other unwanted visitors

How It Works

The Gravity-Fed Port System:

Feed flows from the large reservoir down into the feeding ports through gravity. As chickens eat from the ports, more feed automatically flows down to maintain supply.

The port design uses a deep, tunnel-shaped 90mm opening that limits sideways beak flicking and helps keep feed inside the port rather than on the ground. Because chickens reach inward to eat, instead of sweeping feed across a flat surface, far more feed stays contained compared to open troughs or bowls.

Rain Hoods Protect Against Weather:

Each port features an integrated rain hood that extends over the opening, shedding water away whilst still allowing easy head access for birds. Even in heavy rain or snow, feed inside the ports and reservoir stays completely dry.

Overnight Pest Prevention:

The included red port plugs insert snugly into each port opening. Use them to close the feeder at night (preventing nocturnal pests from accessing feed) or to block unused ports if you have a smaller flock within the range.

Why Port Feeders Are Superior:

vs. Open Troughs or Bowls: Traditional open feeders invite chickens to scratch, perch on edges, and flip feed everywhere. Birds commonly waste 20-40% of feed through spillage. Port feeders significantly reduce this waste.

vs. Traditional Hanging Feeders: Hanging feeders with simple openings still allow considerable feed scattering as chickens peck and scratch. The deep tunnel design provides much better waste reduction.

Reduced Pest Attraction: With significantly less feed on the ground, rats and mice have less to scavenge. Wild birds have reduced access. This helps manage vermin problems that plague keepers using open feeding methods.

Training Your Flock:

Most chickens understand port feeders immediately - they see and smell feed in the ports. For first-time users, simply sprinkle a small amount of feed onto the outer rim of the ports. Chickens investigating this visible feed will quickly discover the abundance inside the port and learn to feed normally.

The Elevation Advantage:

Positioning on bricks or a stand (ports at chest/shoulder height for your smallest bird) provides comfortable feeding posture and keeps the feeder base clean and dry.

Why Choose This Feeder?

Fully Assembled & Ready - Arrives completely assembled with ports and rain hoods pre-installed. Simply fill with feed, position in your coop or run, and introduce to your flock. No tools, no assembly, no complexity.

Significant Feed Savings - By preventing most spillage and spoilage, you'll use considerably less feed over time, leading to noticeable savings on feed bills for larger flocks.

Better Pest Management - Reducing ground feed removes much of the attraction for rats, mice, and wild birds. Many keepers report significantly reduced vermin problems after switching to port feeders.

Less Refilling, More Time - With 50L capacity (30-40kg feed), refill frequency depends on your flock size within the 8-32 bird range. This frees up daily chore time for actually enjoying your birds.

Weatherproof Performance - Suitable for outdoor runs without shelter - the sealed lid and rain hoods protect feed in all weather conditions. No more soggy, mouldy feed to dispose of after rainstorms.

Port Plugs for Flexibility - Use plugs to close the feeder overnight (preventing nocturnal pests), during extended absences, or to reduce the number of active ports for smaller flocks within the range.

Anti-Tip Stability - The anti-tip design with wide base and low centre of gravity ensures stability, preventing spills even with enthusiastic flocks. Two clips secure the lid providing extra safety.

Perfect for: Reducing feed waste and costs, managing pest problems, keeping feed dry in outdoor runs, reducing refilling frequency for larger flocks, improving on traditional open feeders.
