Q. How many chickens will this feeder service?
A. As a guide, this size is typically suited to around 4–6 hens depending on breed, diet and how much they free-range. For larger flocks, multiple feeders spaced around the coop often work better than one oversized feeder.
Q. Will my chickens use it straight away?
A. Most flocks work it out quickly. Cautious birds can take a little longer — especially if they’ve been bowl-fed. A simple tip is to remove other feed sources and give them time to adapt.
Q. What height should I install the feeder?
A. There’s no fixed height. Mount it so the bottom of the feeding opening aligns with the back of your chicken’s neck when she’s standing naturally. If you have mixed sizes, set it for your smaller birds.
Q. What type of feed works best?
A. Quality complete feeds like crumble and pellets flow most consistently and help reduce selective eating. Grain/scratch mixes (especially those with molasses) can clump in humid weather and may restrict flow.
Q. Does it stop rats and mice?
A. The design is vermin-resistant, not vermin-proof. It helps by reducing feed on the ground (the main attraction), but established rodent problems still need trapping/baiting as well.
Q. How do I clean my feeder?
A. The base cap unscrews for cleaning access. Most feeders don’t need frequent cleaning with good-quality feed, but it’s worth inspecting periodically and cleaning as needed with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry before refilling.
Q. Can other birds use it?
A. Yes — customers use these feeders for other poultry too. The main consideration is mounting height so the bird can eat comfortably without stretching or crouching.
