Omlet Smart No Waste Chicken Feeder 5kg
The Omlet Smart No Waste Chicken Feeder combines protected feeding ports with automatic opening and closing, helping reduce scattered feed and restrict access at night. Its 5kg reservoir gravity-feeds five ports arranged around the feeder, giving hens access from different sides.
With daylight-controlled operation, your hens can feed during the day and the ports close at night without you needing to carry the feeder indoors. Optional app connectivity adds refill alerts and status checks to your daily chicken-care routine.
Capacity and colour options
Capacity: 5kg.
Colours: Sage Green or Eglu Green.
Feeding ports: five, arranged in a 360-degree layout.
Omlet estimates that a full feeder can feed six hens for seven days. This is a guide, not a guaranteed refill interval: actual capacity and consumption vary with feed type, flock and conditions. Check your birds and their feed supply daily.
Automatic daylight operation, no phone required
A daylight sensor automatically opens and closes the feeding ports. Basic daylight operation does not require a phone or Wi-Fi connection. Closing the ports at night helps restrict access by nocturnal pests, but does not guarantee complete pest exclusion.
Optional Omlet app controls
Connect via Wi-Fi to check feeder status remotely and receive refill alerts. Wi-Fi features include hourly feed-level monitoring, open/closed status and battery status. Multiple feeding schedules can be set using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and app access can be shared with friends or family helping care for your flock.
Remote monitoring and notifications require the appropriate connection. They complement, rather than replace, daily checks that the hens have access to food.
Battery power and safety features
The feeder runs on four AA batteries. Omlet specifies these as not included and quotes up to six months of battery life; actual runtime varies with use and conditions.
A low-battery auto-open failsafe is designed to keep feed accessible when battery power becomes low. The soft-close mechanism includes blockage detection. Follow the setup instructions and check port operation regularly.
Less waste and more protected feeding
The no-spill design helps keep feed inside the feeder rather than scattered on the ground. Covered anti-bully ports give hens a more protected feeding position and help reduce interference from other birds. These features are intended to reduce waste and disturbance, not promise zero spillage or bullying in every flock.
Suitable dry feed
Omlet specifies suitability for dry chicken feeds, including crumble, seed and pellets. Gravity funnels feed down to the five ports. A viewing window lets you check the remaining supply directly.
Stand or hang
The wide tripod base helps resist tipping. The legs are removable, with an option to hang the feeder using compatible equipment. Ensure any hanging support can safely carry the filled feeder and position the ports so your hens can reach them comfortably.
Cleaning and materials
The feeder comes apart for cleaning. Wipe clean and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for protecting the electronic components. Keep feed dry and remove old feed and debris regularly.
Omlet specifies BPA- and PFA-free plastic. This Smart model adds automatic port closing and app features to the standard No Waste Feeder design.
