Chicken feed is expensive enough without watching half of it become very expensive confetti on the coop floor.
The Little Giant® Deluxe Plastic Hanging Poultry Feeder gets the feeder up out of the bedding and lets you adjust the hanging height as your birds grow. With about a 3 lb feed capacity, it's a practical choice for smaller flocks, growing birds, or setups where you don't need a giant feeder taking up space.
Hang it. Fill it. Adjust the height.
Let the chickens handle the eating part.
Hanging the feeder helps keep the trough above loose bedding and gives you control over its height. Start where your birds can comfortably reach the feed, then raise it as they grow.
Proper positioning can also help reduce the amount of feed chickens scoop and fling out while eating.
Will they still occasionally manage to throw perfectly good feed somewhere it doesn't belong?
They're chickens. Of course they will.
Hang the feeder securely at a comfortable feeding height for your birds. Adjust it upward as they grow while making sure everyone can still easily access the trough.
Use in a dry, protected area and check feed regularly for moisture, mold, or contamination.
Empty and clean the feeder as needed with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before adding fresh feed. Replace the feeder if the plastic or hanging hardware becomes damaged.
Your chickens worked very hard to scatter that feed.
Try not to look impressed.
