Using a Hanging Chicken Feeder

Use a hanging feeder to solve the problems caused by scattering feed on the floor or setting a feeder on the ground. Our inventory of quality feeders ranges from 20- to 50-pound capacity devices in metal or plastic. With a convenient fill mechanism and secure holes, our feeders ensure your poultry has reliable access to clean feed.

Stromberg’s inventory offers lidded options that also feature feed covers and feed grills, so you can protect the feed from chickens and poultry scratching it out of the feeder. With the grill on the hanging chicken feeder, they can only peck it out of the hanging feeder to eat it, ensuring cleaner feeding for all your poultry.

Benefits of Hanging Feeders

Using hanging chicken feeders offers a better way to feed your chicken and poultry since it keeps the food clean and ensures they cannot scatter and waste it.

Having a hanging chicken feeder instead of setting it on the floor accomplishes the following:

• Makes it easier for poultry and birds like chickens and chicks to feed.
• Reduces food waste.
• Ensures the food stays clean.
• Ensures the food stays dry.

Chickens will crawl on top of a feeder on the floor and scatter the feed onto the feed pan or ground. They will defecate in a feeder on the ground or the floor on top of the scattered food, causing illnesses in the hens and other animals that share the same space. Accidentally eating feces can render them inedible and lead to serious health issues.

How to Hang a Chicken Feeder

Hang a chicken feeder at a height equal to the neck height of your smallest chickens. This offers an appropriate and comfortable height for your poultry and rooster to be fed.

Use hanging feeders to make it easier for your chickens and poultry to eat and to keep their food safe and clean. Our inventory of hanging feeders works well with our waterers, ensuring your coop remains a healthy environment for your poultry.
