The feed is placed in the center of the feeder, where it automatically slides down once consumed from the bottom. The design features a conical chute to facilitate smooth material flow, making it ideal for use with quail, partridges, and chicks. We recommend printing with PLA. With four discharge ports, the feeder evenly distributes feed around the perimeter of the trough. Please note that this feeder is best suited for fine corn and small‑particle feed—larger pellets may cause clogging—and it’s not appropriate for very small chicks or quail, as they may struggle to access the feed.
