The Quill Feed Bin Kit

Gamebirds and Ducks

The Quill Feed Bin Kit can be used in all game management situations throughout the year:

Laying Stock - As well as clean water, laying stock need a constant supply of clean and uncontaminated feed.

Rearing Field – For those game managers who provide food in the grass run or night shelter and want a feeder that holds a huge quantity of feed, whilst keeping it fresh and dry and still minimising wastage.

Release Pens –The last thing that your birds should be doing in the release pen is feeding from the contaminated area around feeders - the disease risk is potentially, extremely high indeed.

Drives and Coverts – Are outlying drives and coverts hard to feed on a regular basis? Are deer, squirrels or the wind a problem with your current feeders. The answer – The Quill Feed Bin Kit

Do Rooks, Crows and Jackdaws constantly steal food from your hoppers? The huge top hat which fits over a 45 gallon drum makes corvids very wary of using the feeder as the large canopy prevents them from keeping an eye on their surroundings – you should find your losses of feed to corvids virtually nil when you use the Quill Feed Bin Kit.

How it works

The Quill Feed Bin Kit Top hat converts a 45 gallon metal drum into a fantastic weatherproof feeder. The drum, pre cut with horizontal feed slots, sits on top of the  cleverly designed feed tray that comes as part of the kit. This allows birds to feed from a clean surface rather than disease ridden ground. The tray also catches any spillages from the feed slots resulting in little feed being wasted on to the ground. Its massive capacity of 6 bags of feed eliminates the chore of daily feeding, providing huge time and energy savings – ideal for all game farms and shoots whether fully keepered, part time, DIY or syndicate.

The Quill Feed Bin Kit can be used in all situations - rearing/release pens and out in your cover crops, woods etc. On the rearing field it can be placed in the grass run or in the night shelter – within the night shelter there is no need for the top hat so an already cost effective feeder becomes even more exceptional value for money. When not in use the top hats stack neatly on top of one another.

• Pellets - no more mushy waste - expensive pellets kept dry.
• Grain – kept dry - no more blocked up feeders with sprouting wheat.
• Cracked or whole maize – draw birds out into your drives.

The Quill Feed Bin Kit provides even more benefits than those already mentioned – it gives a sheltered feed area protecting game from the elements and bird of prey attacks. For those who use the kits in woods, coverts and cover crops, the feeder, unlike others on the market is less prone to squirrel and rat damage. These creatures will feed directly from the tray, removing the need to chew the plastic. Deer and badgers cannot lift the lid and when over half full of feed find it almost impossible to knock over. The plastic is UV stabilised meaning it will not crack or split.

Now available in green!

Demand for the Feed Bin Kit led shoots up and down the country to ask Quill Productions if they could produce a green version to blend in with the landscape. The Green Feed Bin Kit is especially useful where shoots exist on National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty where black hoppers can stand out in the landscape. 

Feeders which are clearly visible in the countryside can be prone to vandalism or even theft, therefore the green feed bin kit will be ideal where shoots want their hoppers to blend in with the surrounding woods, hedgerows and cover crops.
