ABSTRACT:
A poultry feeder releasably attachable to a feed conveyor and adjustable to feed poultry on either an ad libitum basis or a restricted feed basis. A segmented cage is mounted on an upright barrel member that is releasably attached to the feed conveyor. Feed from the conveyor passes through the barrel member to a feed pan suspended beneath the barrel member by the segmented case. In the restricted feeding mode, the barrel member can store feed for release into the feed pan as feed is consumed by the poultry. In the overfill or ad libitum mode, a control member directs feed outside of the barrel member into the feed pan to more completely fill the pan for improved access to young poultry.
