Little Giant Farm & Ag Miller Manufacturing 9836 36-Inch Range Feeder

I like the size and shape of this feeder. I also like the quality. The legs work well and keep the feeder off the ground. I have not used the anti-roosting bar, as my chickens do not try to walk or sit on the side of the trough. I don't know how long it will last but I bought mine about 6-months ago and it is still in good shape with no rust.

I was excited to find this trough because I feed my flock a wet mash. So, in essence, I “slop the birds” every morning.

I love how the legs lock in place in two positions and the roller bar at the top has three heights, even though I don’t use it. This feeder is galvanized so I had no qualms about using it as planned. I purchased two and I noticed when I cleaned it the first time that it began rusting, on the inside. So I haven’t cleaned the second one yet. I know that’s gross, but it hasn’t rusted yet. I want to sand the rust down and then spray paint the inside, but I’m just not sure what kind of paint, if any, I could use that wouldn’t harm the birds if they chipped it and ingested some.

I’m torn about my purchase of these. I LOVE the design 100%, but hate that it rusted.

Great feeder! Easy to clean and use, and has a metal handle/role-bar on top to keep the birds from roosting on it. If you have a large number of birds, this is a good feeder to use.
Don't leave the feeder outside though, as mine rusted after about a year.
