Frequently Asked Questions About Drinker and Feeder Parts & Accessories

What is the best chicken feeder to avoid rats?

Rats are clever, but they are usually light. The Hatching Time's Feed-O-Matic features five adjustable weight settings. You can set the treadle to require a higher weight to open the lid.

Do rat-proof chicken feeders work?

Generally, yes, because a single rat is usually too light to trigger the treadle. This means that while a chicken can easily step on and eat, a single rat (or even a group of them) won't be heavy enough to trigger the mechanism.

Can ducks use treadle feeders?

Yes, this feeder is designed to prevent vermin from accessing feed intended for chickens or ducks. The mechanism is operated when a bird stands on the treadle, opening the hatch and allowing feed to trickle into the pan.

How to use rat proof protection plate?

To rat-proof a Feedomatic Treadle Feeder, you need a specific metal "Rat Proofing Plate," an add-on accessory that screws onto the front of the plastic feed trough, blocking determined rodents like rats and squirrels from chewing through the plastic base to get the feed.

How does this compare to another feeders?

The Feed-O-Matic is usually praised for being quieter and having more precise weight adjustments. However, some other feeders are all-metal, which some users prefer for total protection against chewing pests.

Does the lid keep the rain out?

Yes, the lid is designed to be "all-weather" and features a locking mechanism when pressed down to prevent water from seeping into the hopper.
