The KOL chicken feeder is a ground-mounted metal feeder with a 20-pound capacity, designed for backyard flocks where reducing daily refill frequency is a priority. It features 12 smooth-edged feeding ports, a gravity-fed dispensing system, and a powder-coated finish for outdoor use.
The tripod base with 5mm iron legs handles uneven ground. This feeder is designed for dry feed, including crumbles and pellets, and is not suited for wet, soaked, or fermented feed.

Whether the KOL Feeder Works for Your Flock Setup
If you want a ground-level feeder that supports natural feeding posture, holds enough feed to last several days without refilling, and holds up outdoors without rusting, the KOL covers those requirements.
The 12-port design allows multiple birds to feed simultaneously, which reduces competition and crowding at the feeder. The gravity-fed system keeps ports supplied without manual adjustment. The tripod base is useful if your run or yard has uneven or soft ground where flat-bottomed feeders tend to tip. A built-in handle makes it easy to move the feeder for cleaning or coop reconfiguration.
If you feed fermented or soaked feed as part of your flock's diet, this feeder is not designed for that application and a separate vessel will be needed for those feedings.
What to Expect from the KOL 20-Pound Metal Chicken Feeder in Real Use
For flocks that need a reliable multi-day feeder, the KOL delivers on capacity. One verified buyer left nine large chickens for five days and returned to find feed still remaining, with no leakage or spillage noted during the absence. That kind of performance is what the 20-pound capacity and gravity-fed design are built for.
Construction quality is noted positively across buyer feedback. The feeder is described as well-built and sturdy, with one buyer specifically noting it is well suited to chick feed crumbles. Chickens and ducks both use it without issue.
One practical tip from a buyer: placing a wide, flat lid or tray beneath the feeder catches any feed that drops during pecking and reduces waste on the ground. This is a simple addition that extends how far each fill goes.
The feeder is not appropriate for wet or fermented feed, which can clog the gravity-fed ports and create mold and bacteria issues inside the hopper.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will 20 pounds of feed last in the KOL feeder for a typical backyard flock?
Feed consumption depends on flock size, breed, and whether birds have access to forage. As a general reference, a standard laying hen consumes roughly a quarter pound of feed per day.
For a flock of nine large birds, 20 pounds covers approximately eight to nine days at that baseline rate. Actual results will vary, but the capacity is genuinely useful for reducing how often you need to refill.
Can the KOL feeder be used for ducks as well as chickens?
Yes. The ground-level port height and open feeding design accommodate ducks alongside chickens. Ducks feed differently than chickens and benefit from a feeder they can access without bending awkwardly.
The 12cm port height and smooth edges work for both species. Keep in mind that ducks tend to make a mess with water near their feed, so positioning the feeder away from waterers helps keep the feed dry and the ports clear.
How do you clean the KOL feeder, and how often should it be done?
Disassemble the feeder by removing the hopper from the base and rinse both components with water. Allow all parts to dry completely before refilling to prevent moisture from causing feed to clump or mold inside the hopper.
A stiff brush helps clear feed residue from the ports and interior. Cleaning frequency depends on conditions, but a thorough wash every one to two weeks is a reasonable starting point for most backyard setups.
