For a new chicken farm owner, feeding their chickens might seem a simple and uncomplicated thing to do that hardly needs any special effort or equipment. But beware that without the right preparation and chicken feeder, you’ll find yourself dealing with sprawling mess and hungry chickens quite often! You can’t just use any discarded container to keep food for your chickens. Your little feathery friends love to scratch, peck, toss, flip and knock pretty much every thing that’s in their scope of reach. Have no doubt that they might try the same with the container that you keep their feed in. This is where chicken feeders factor in as your saviour. These are designed specifically to take care of this problem posed by the curious nature of chickens. The robust and convenient design of feeders ensures that the chickens are able to access and eat their feed easily, without toppling over the feeder by any type of poking or pushing. Your chickens can have food to their heart’s content, while you can rest assured that they won’t be creating any food spillage and mess in the process. Now that you know why you need chicken feeders, let’s see how you can buy the right ones for your farm. Selecting feeders needs consideration of many factors, some of which are explained below: Number of Chickens on your Farm How many chickens do you have on your farm and how much food they eat on a daily basis? The feed amount for an average laying hen is at least about 1/4 pound every day. Make sure that you buy enough feeders that can contain the average, or a little more than average, feed amount for all the birds. Keep in mind that if your hens are not receiving their desired feed intake, they might stop egg production. Ease of Handling and Cleaning Feeders will need to be cleaned regularly to prevent them from getting dirty or infected. Choosing chicken feeders that have a rather simple construction design are going to be relatively easy to clean on a regular basis. Also see if the feeders are easy to move around the farm if need be. Type of Feed you Provide Feeds for chicken vary greatly. There are dry grains, pelletised feed, mashed or crumbled feed and so on. You should buy a feeder that efficiently delivers the specific type of feed that you tend to give to your chickens. For example,

you don’t want the feed to get stuck in the crevices of the feeder or cause blockages of any kind in the feeder. The feed should be accessible in entirety to the chickens and that too easily. Time Available at your Hand Do you plan to refill the feeder in every few hours, in every 24 hours or once in a couple of days? Depending on your schedule, this may vary. So choose a feeder of appropriate size, that can hold sufficient feed to last throughout the time before your next refill.
