ABSTRACT:
A poultry feeder (1) having a drop tube or main body (7) for receiving feed from a source of feed (FC). A feed pan (5) is carried by the drop tube which receives feed for consumption by poultry. The feed pan has an outer rim (11), an outer portion spaced inwardly of the rim and an inner portion between the drop tube and the outer portion. The drop tube (7) has at least one aperture (21a-21c) therein spaced above the feed pan through which all of the feed from the drop tube is discharged for delivery to the feed pan. A first feed path (FP1) has an inlet (57a-57c) for receiving feed discharged from the at least one aperture (21a-21c) and an outlet (the open bottom of cover 33) for discharging into the inner portion of the feed pan and a second feed path (FP2) having an inlet (53a-53c) for receiving feed discharged from the at least one aperture (21a-21c) and a second outlet (55a-55c) for discharging feed into the outer portion of the feed pan. The second outlet (55a-55c) of the second feed path (FP2) is disposed above the level of the first outlet (the open bottom of cover 33) of the first feed path (FP1) thereby to permit filling of the feed pan (5) to a greater extent than when feed is discharged from the outlet end of the first feed path, and means (33) for selectively controlling the flow of feed from either the first feed flow path or from the second feed flow path.
