Abstract
A poultry cage with controlled feeder includes a cage with a feed trough mounted thereon and having a feed carrier in the trough, a movable top cover over the trough which prevents access to the trough and a control associated with the top cover and the drive means for the feed carrier for displacing the cover to permit access to the trough at predetermined intervals. The control permits distribution by the carrier of feed through the whole trough before the top cover is moved and the birds are allowed to feed.
