Current technological developments are a hope for society to make activities in daily life easier. One of them is supporting entrepreneurial activities, so that businesses can be run efficiently and effectively. Chicken farming business in Indonesia has become a rapidly growing industry. The advantage of raising chickens is that the demand for chickens is still very large, and there are still many people who like to consume chicken meat, The livestock sector is also quite tempting, but apart from several advantages, chicken farming can cause losses. Especially in chicken feeders which are still mostly used manually so a lot of feed is wasted. Because chicken growth really depends on the regulated feed provided.Therefore, tools and systems are needed that can provide automatic feed in real time using an RTC sensor to set the time, as well as a 12C 16x2 LCD as time information. It is hoped that the design of this tool can be used by chicken farmers to reduce manual feeding and can be beneficial for farmers in a broad sense.
