You are feeding your chickens. But you are also feeding rats, sparrows, squirrels, and every pest in the neighbourhood.

Every day, pests help themselves. Feed spills. Bags empty faster. Rodents move in. BeakTox stops that. The treadle mechanism locks pests out while letting your flock in.

Weight‑activated treadle. No power. No batteries. No timers.

A chicken or duck steps onto the platform. The lid opens. The bird eats. It steps away. The lid closes. Rats, mice, sparrows, and squirrels are too light to trigger it. Pests stay out. Feed stays in.

5kg capacity. Multi‑day feeding.

Up to four adult chickens can feed themselves for days without you refilling. No daily chore. No rushing home to let them eat. Fill it. Walk away. Your flock helps themselves on their own schedule.

Weatherproof sealed lid. Dry feed in all conditions.

Rain, snow, moisture, wind, debris – kept out. The lid seals the trough between feeding sessions. No mould. No wet, clumpy feed. No spoiled grain.

Rust‑resistant metal construction. Powder‑coated paint protection.

High‑quality metal built for outdoor life. Two times longer life than standard open‑bowl or hanging feeders. Will not rust, flake, or corrode through seasons of use.

SUS304 stainless steel hinge.

Smooth, quiet lid action. Long‑lasting. Years of daily opening and closing without failure.

Anti‑slip patterned step platform.

50 x 12cm. Confident footing for chickens and ducks. Wet, muddy, frosty surfaces – they still trigger the mechanism without slipping.

Complete pest exclusion. Not just a lid.

No spills. No scattered grain. No attracting rodents to your coop.

FAQs

Q: Will rats and mice be able to trigger the treadle and access the feed?
No. The treadle mechanism is calibrated to adult chicken and duck body weight. Rats and mice are too light to depress the platform enough to open the lid.

Q: Do I need electricity or batteries to operate it?
No. Fully mechanical treadle principle. Weight of the bird directly lifts the lid. Lid closes under its own weight. No batteries, no electricity, no timers.

Q: How much feed does it hold and how often does it need refilling?
5kg (11 lbs). Up to four adult chickens can feed for multiple days between refills, depending on consumption rates.

Q: Can ducks use it as well as chickens?
Yes. The treadle and trough dimensions work for ducks and other backyard poultry of similar size. Step platform provides sufficient space for ducks to stand comfortably.

Q: Is it difficult to assemble?
No. All hardware included. Basic Phillips and hex tools following the included instructions. Clear labelled parts. No specialist skills required.

Q: Does the feed stay dry inside during rain?
Yes. Weatherproof lid seals the trough closed between feeding sessions. Rain and moisture cannot enter. Feed stays dry even through prolonged wet weather.

Q: What types of feed can be stored and dispensed?
Corn kernels, rice grain, pellets, mixed grain blends, chopped vegetable scraps – standard poultry feeds. No modifications needed for different feed formats.

Q: What are the overall dimensions?
Lid 51 x 20cm. Trough 48.5cm long, 10cm deep. Height 19cm. Step platform 50 x 12cm. Low profile, stable footprint.
