The 3 pound size came with the Poultry Starter Kit. The chick feed will NOT come down to the trough as the chickens eat. It just does not have enough space to get through. We had to take off the lid and spoon out the food into the trough until I could get to the local farm store for a different feeder. For new hatchlings I suggest, strongly, that you just take a jar lid and put feed in that. Although it will spill, the tiny chicks will not have to struggle at all to get the food, which is important for their first few days.

This is a very sturdy feeder. My steel ones ended up breaking every year. Recommend.

I’m using it for baby chicks. Not much waste whatsoever. Keep it pretty full so they don’t try to climb inside.
Krista L from Texas
Love these feeders. Bonus points for not having to purchase a separate feed cover for the top. Hardly any waste and flows nicely with crumbles.
Marlene E from Michigan
This feeder is very good at preventing wasted feed and for this reason I have purchased two of them.
However, the feeder is difficult to hang because the hanging loop at the top is too small and most snaps and hooks don't fit in it. It is also a bit difficult to fill because you have to hold the cover with one hand and pour the feed in with the other. There should be a built-in way to hold the cover open while filling the feeder.
