Chicken equipment gets carried, dropped, kicked, hosed off, and occasionally run into by somebody who absolutely saw it sitting there.
Sometimes plastic just makes sense.
The Miller Little Giant 20" Plastic Chicken Trough Feeder gives you a lightweight alternative to a traditional galvanized trough, with built-in legs that raise the feeding area and a long open design that multiple chickens can eat from at once.
Also, it's bright red.
Apparently subtlety isn't a requirement for chicken feeders either.
Set the feeder on a stable, level surface where your chickens can comfortably reach the feed. Keep it somewhere dry and protected so rain and moisture don't turn dinner into mush.
Check regularly for wet or contaminated feed and accumulated fines. Wash as needed with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry before refilling.
And if you've ever dropped a metal feeder and listened to it announce your mistake to the entire barnyard, plastic does have its advantages.
