Abstract
An animal feeder for providing feed to animals includes a plurality of side and end walls defining an interior chamber. A perforated plate defines a bottom wall of the chamber and is moveable therein. A grate defines a top wall of the chamber and allows access to feed material contained in the chamber. A spring mechanism biases the plate toward the grate such that feed material located within the chamber is continuously provided to an animal feeding at the level of the grate.
