Product Information
Full details
The Copelle Poultry Feeder is designed for poultry keepers raising first-age chicks who need a reliable solution to prevent feed waste and maintain hygiene. Its primary benefit is the specialized separation grid that discourages scratching and contamination, though its 20cm size is best suited for smaller broods or confined brooding areas rather than large flocks.

FAQs
Is this feeder suitable for all chick breeds?
Yes, it is designed for standard first-age chicks, though very large breeds may outgrow the grill space faster than bantams.
How often should I clean the feeder?
Ideally, give it a quick wipe every day to remove debris, and perform a deep wash with disinfectant once a week.
Can I use this outdoors?
It is intended primarily for indoor brooding. Direct, prolonged UV exposure may cause the plastic to degrade over time.
Is the material safe for chicks?
Yes, it is constructed from food-safe, durable plastic free from harmful coatings.
What is the best way to fill it without spilling?
Use a small scoop to add feed through the openings in the top grill rather than removing the grill entirely.
Troubleshooting
Feed getting damp or clumping
Ensure the feeder is placed in an area protected from waterer splash-back and that the area is well-ventilated.
Grill not snapping in place
Check for dried feed debris in the slots; clean thoroughly and align the clips to ensure a snug fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Copelle feeder is straightforward: simply place it on a level floor surface inside the brooder, fill the trough with feed, and snap the separator grill firmly into place. To maintain hygiene, disassemble the grill daily to wipe away any dust or moisture. For deep cleaning, use warm soapy water and a soft brush; ensure the unit is completely dry before adding fresh feed to prevent mold growth. This feeder is compatible with all standard starter crumb feeds and can be easily paired with small chick waterers of a similar profile.
