Feeding

Chickens are wasteful eaters, and spilled feed attracts rats and wild birds. A good feeder can noticeably cut your feed bill. We compare treadle feeders, hanging feeders, gravity tubes, and no-waste designs, plus layer feed, grit, and oyster shell. Rodent-proofing, capacity, and weather resistance are the features we weigh most.
