Automatic chicken feeder
Like 3 Dislike 0 Published on 15 May 2019
When chickens stand on blue step, green lid of the food container open automatically.
Open top cover to load food.
The feeder prevents other animals from eating chicken feed, also prevents chicken from soiling the food.

In case the chickens are scared of noise generated when closing the lid, add anti shock devices as shown in two last scenes of the video.
For cylinder variant there is a small hole on lower portion of the cylinder wall (or bottom) to connect under-piston space with outside space. The hole diameter determines closing speed of the lid.
