This project provides an automated feeding and watering solution designed for poultry housing. The system features two wall-mounted dispensers—an automatic corn feeder and a drinking water dispenser—both accessible from outside the chicken house through rectangular openings in a 15mm-thick wall.
Automatic Feeder
Design Overview
The feeder consists of two components:
Main Compartment: Gravity-fed tank holding approximately 1.5 kg of dry feed
Removable Lid: Provides access for refilling
Feed flows automatically into the dish via gravity-assisted discharge, facilitated by steep internal walls that prevent bridging.
Printing Guidelines
Component | Orientation | Support Requirements |
|---|---|---|
Main Compartment | Bottom-up | Organic supports inside only (recommended) |
Lid | Top-down | None required |
Installation Instructions
Cut a 150 mm × 110 mm (width × height) rectangular opening in the wall
Position the opening 8–10 cm above floor level
Install structural support behind the opening to bear the weight when filled
Attach mounting hooks inside/outside the wall for a securing string or wire
Water Dispenser
Operating Principle
This vacuum-seal system operates on atmospheric pressure differentials:
Water levels in the dish create a seal preventing air from entering the bottle
When the water level drops below the hose outlet, air enters the bottle
This equalizes pressure, releasing additional water into the dish
Cycle repeats as chickens drink
Design Components
Water Dish: Receives dispensed water
Bottle Holder: Wall-mounted component securing the reservoir
Printing Guidelines
Component | Orientation | Support Requirements |
|---|---|---|
Water Dish | Bottom-up | None required |
Bottle Holder | Wall-facing side down | None required |
Installation Instructions
Cut a 100 mm × 60 mm (width × height) rectangular opening
Align vertically with the feeder at the same height (8–10 cm above floor)
Mount the bottle holder elevated above the dish to ensure proper hose positioning and function
Ensure secure screw fixation for the mounted components
