    Death caused by plastic hanging feeder

    Hi - we are fairly new to chickens. We have a small flock of chickens consisting of pullets, laying hens, and a very sweet Leghorn rooster named Oliver. We had a hanging metal feeder, but because a lot of the food was ending up on the ground we went out and got a smaller plastic feeder. Last...
