on and which will facilitate cleaningof the same so that it may be easily kept in a sanitary condition.
Other objects of the invention will appear incidentally to the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the chicken feeder.
Figure 2 1s a transverse sectlonal vlew thereof.
The chicken feeder comprises upright legs 1 which are connected together in pairs by cross pieces 2. Perch planks 3 extend longitudinally of the device and are connected with the legs 1 at points below the upper ends thereof. The legs 1, cross pieces 2 and perch planks 8 form a frame which supports the feed receptacle of the device.
The feed receptacle consists of end pieces 0 4 which are attached to the cross pieces 2, a bottom wall 5 which extends longitudinally of the device and connected at its ends vwith the ends walls 4. The bottom wall 5 is located above the perch plank 3 and is spaced above the level of the said plank. The bottom wall 5 is divided into trough compartments 6 which are separated from each other by an upstanding portion 7 which lies upon the median longitudinal dimension of the bottom wall 5. Inclined boards 8 are attached to the end walls 4 and the lower edges of the boards 8 enter the troughs 6 but are spaced above the upper surfaces of the said troughs. Spaced rods 9 extend upwardly from the outer edges of the bottom wall 5 and are connected at their upper end with the upper portion of the board 8. A roof plank 10 is mounted in aninclined position upon the upper edges of the end walls 4 and the lower portion of the roof plank 10 ex- Srial No. 538,299.
tends beyond the outer surface of one of the boards 8. A roof plank 11 is hingedly connected with the upper edge of the roof plank 10 and is adapted to lie upon the upper edges of the end walls 4 and the free end portion of the plank 11 is adapted to extend beyond the upper edge of one of the inclined boards 8. Upstanding pins 12 are mounted upon the roof plank 11 and serves to prevent fowls from roosting upon the feeding device.
The feed is deposited in the feed receptacle and gravitates down along the inner surfaces of the inclined boards 8 and flows into the troughs 6. The fowls may hop upon the perch plank 3 and by passing their heads through the spaces between the rods 9 they partake of the feed in the troughs 6.
Having described the invention what is claimed is A poultry feeder comprising a receptacle having a top, a bottom wall divided into compartments, spaced rods rising from the outer edges of the bottom wall of the receptacle, inclined side boards located within the receptacle and having upper edges meeting the upper ends of said rods and a roof board hinged to the top of the receptacle and when closed having an edge portion resting upon the upper ends of one row of rods and extending beyond the vertical plane of said row of rods and the outer edge of one of the bottom compartments.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
WILLIAM B. MCCRAY.
