Invented By A New Zealand Farmer
Bill "Grandpa" Kirkham was tired of feeding the local rat population instead of his chickens. After trying every feeder on the market, he decided to build his own.
What started as a rough prototype in his farm shed has evolved into the world's most trusted automatic chicken feeder, saving thousands of poultry owners from the frustration of feed waste.
