[0022] Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 1 , the attached drawings of the specification Figure 5 , the attached drawings of the specification Figure 6 , the attached drawings of the specification Figure 7 and the attached drawings of the specification Figure 10 , the avoidance opening 7 is circular, the feed pipe 2 is a circular pipe, both ends of the feed pipe 2 are connected to the feed trough on the front side of the chicken coop. A rotatable spiral auger 10 is provided in the feed pipe 2. The feed inlet 3 is opened at the upper end of the feed pipe 2, and the feed inlet 3 is located within the range wrapped by the first baffle 5, the second baffle 6, the first inclined protection plate 8, and the second inclined protection plate 9, which can prevent the feed from leaking to the outside of the feed pipe 2. When the feed enters the feed pipe 2, through the rotation of the spiral auger 10, it is convenient to feed the feed.

[0023] Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 2 and the attached drawings of the specification Figure 3 , the lower end of the first inclined protection plate 8 abuts against the upper end of the feed pipe 2, the second inclined protection plate 9 wraps the feed pipe 2 from below, and the feed inlet 3 is not directly above the feed pipe 2. When the feed enters the feed pipe 2, it enters from one side, preventing the feed from directly falling and impacting the spiral auger.

[0024] The first embodiment of the adjusting baffle 4: Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 1 , the attached drawings of the specification Figure 2 and the attached drawings of the specification Figure 4 , a plurality of connection holes 11 are opened at the upper end of the first baffle 5. The adjusting baffle 4 includes a vertical plate 12. A plurality of fixing holes 13 are opened on the vertical plate 12.
