20" Apollo Trough Chicken Feeder

Feed the whole crew without the food fight. The 20-inch Apollo trough feeder holds up to 5 pounds of feed, giving multiple birds room to eat at once so the pushy hens don’t run the show. The long, low design encourages side-by-side, peaceful eating and cuts down on tip-overs and scratch-outs that turn dinner into compost. It’s a no-frills, durable workhorse—easy to fill, easy to clean, and happy to live in the coop or run under cover.

At-a-Glance

• Length: 20" (50.8 cm)

• Capacity: up to 5 lb of dry feed (≈ 2.27 kg)

• Access: multiple birds can feed at once—less squabbling, more chewing

• Use: great for chickens; also works for small waterfowl in dry, covered areas

Who It’s For

Keepers who want efficient, low-waste feeding for mixed flocks, grow-out pens, or backyard coops—and who prefer simple gear that just works.

What’s Included / Specs

• 1 × 20" trough feeder

• Sturdy, easy-clean build with an elongated feeding channel

• Low profile for easy access; simple to position on blocks or a low stand

How to Use / What to Expect

1. Fill with dry feed (crumbles or pellets work best for low waste).

2. Set height to bird backs: raise on bricks/blocks so the lip sits at the back height of your smallest birds—this reduces billing/spill.

3. Allow enough elbow room: as a guideline, plan ~2" of feeder space per chick and ~4" per adult during peak feeding times.

4. Keep it dry: place in a covered area; wet feed molds fast and attracts pests.

5. Top off, don’t overflow: partial fills stay fresher and discourage tossing.

Care & Cleaning

Dump crumbs daily, brush out fines, and hand-wash with mild soap or a dilute white-vinegar rinse. Rinse and dry fully before refilling.

Shipping & Timing

Ships with your farm-supply order. (If your cart includes print-on-demand items, they’ll ship separately.)

Clancy Crowed It
“Feeder too low = feed on the floor. Set it to back height and switch to pellets if your birds are flinging crumbles.”
