ABSTRACT:
A poultry feeder (10) comprising a generally vertically disposed feed tube (18) adapted to be installed on a generally horizontal feed conveyor tube (14) for receiving feed from the feed conveyor tube. The feed tube has an upper portion (26) fixed with respect to the feed conveyor tube and a lower portion (27) movable axially with respect to the upper portion between an extended position (as shown in FIG. 5) and a collapsed position (FIG. 6). A feed pan (23) is disposed below the bottom end of the feed tube for receiving feed. A lost motion connection (32) is provided between the feed pan and feed tube, with the lost motion connection including a generally vertically disposed rim (46) surrounding the outer portion of the feed pan and permitting relative movement between the feed pan and the feed tube between the pan and the feed tube between an extended position in which the feed tube is in its extended position and in which the rim extends up above the level of the feed pan thereby to aid in containing feed within said feed pan and a lowered position in which the feed pan rests on the floor and in which the rim is lower with respect to the feed pan thereby to lower the height of the feed pan so as to permit young chicks or the like to readily view feed deposited within the feed pan and to have access to the feed therein.
