Function

TO HOLD LAYING MASH, CHICK GROWER, ETC. FOR LARGER POULTRY. THE WEIGHT OF THE FEED IN THE HOPPER, COMBINED WITH THE CONVEX CENTRE OF THE BASE, CAUSES MORE FEED TO BE CARRIED THROUGH THE OPENING BETWEEN THE HOPPER & BASE AS FAST AS THE FEED IS CONSUMED.

Technical

BECAUSE IT HELD A QUANTITY OF FOOD & WAS SELF-FEEDING, THIS FEEDER REQUIRED RE-FILLING LESS OFTEN & ENABLED THE BIRDS TO EAT AT ALL TIMES DURING THE DAY. TELESCOPICDESIGN ALLOWED FEEDER TO BE EXPANDED FOR LARGE HOPPER CAPACITY, OR COLLAPSED FOR MORE SPACE-EFFICIENT STORAGE.
