Automatic Chicken Feeder

Collaborators:

Introduction

The “Automatic Chicken Feeder” project was developed as a final-year project, in collaboration with colleagues “Wubshet Zeleke” and “Yakob Solomon.” The project addresses the challenges faced by individuals living in condominiums or with limited space who desire to raise chickens for personal consumption.

In urbanized environments where space is limited, traditional agriculture practices can be challenging. This project aims to provide a solution for individuals who wish to produce their food by enabling small-scale chicken farming through an automated feeding system.
