Galvanized Cone Feeders
Compared to metal feeders we’ve used in the past, we like the heavy-duty metal construction, quality galvanization and clever adjustment method. Use free standing or by hanging using built-in handle.
Use for feeding the flock, from broilers to layers. Waterfowl friendly too!
Available in 11, 22 and 44 lb capacity.

Love these! I was confused at first on attaching the hopper to the base, but now they work really well.
I also love the rain hats so they can stay outside. When outside with the rain hat, we set them on a stepstool as the hanger doesn’t work with the rainhat, so we just set it aside. But it’s great to have this option to encourage chickens out of the coop versus making a mess inside eating. When there is really bad weather, just pop in the hanger and hang it in the coop. Easy.
FYI the feeder works best with grains or crumbles, not finely ground like broiler feed which tends to get stuck up inside, especially when not hanging.

So happy I found this. I bought it to replace a similar feeder that was made of plastic and would break after a couple of years’ use. I will probably never have to replace this one. I bought it with the rain hood and soil guard, because it sits outside where the lawn sprinklers hit it.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that there was insufficient info on the product page—there is no explanation of how the soil guard would be used with it, and after receiving it I found it is redundant and unnecessary if you have the rain hood. It also would have been helpful if the photos on the product page had been accompanied by what size was being shown. I didn’t see any dimensions for the rain hood either.

Top of the line products.

Best feeder ever purchased. Lip is deep enough that food does not spill and end up on the floor. The high cone moves the feed to the edges so that the feed is easy for the chickens to reach.

Wish it came with a cone top.
