dc.description.abstract	Due to the problem of feed-wastage by chicken farmers, an automated chicken-feeder which operates mechanically, refills the feeding trough whenever feed is consumed by the birds without human supervision has been designed arid its prototype constructed. With this chicken-feeder only small quantity of feed is metered to limit feed-wastage by spillage on the floor with in the poultry farm housing hence, seducing expenditure on the feed. The automatic chicken-feeder components Were designed and fabricated and the assembled-prototype tested for performance. The chicken-feeder can contain up to 25kg per batch of chicken feed which is able to feed twenty-five layer birds for one week.	en_US
