Well I have a little farm and I am wanting to be able to raise around 300 roosters in pens quickly. I am looking to assemble one myself and am really interested in locating a place that I can buy the chain for a custom sized feeder that I could add to and subtract from. If yo uknow where I can find some of this chain I would love to know. Thanks

Depending how much weight you are going to put on it. It sounds like you are looking for the heavy duty "JACK CHAIN". The links are like little 8's and you can just open them to add or subtract. I also know Walmart has it. It should be either by the snaps etc or by the flourescent lights since it is used a lot for hanging them.
Most any hardware store should have it.

Lowes has many different size chains, some plastic covered, some galvanized. Some that can hold 40 gal of water or more. I am planning on getting two, cut 6 1/2 feet long, hung from the run rafter on hooks. As the chicks grow taller, I can raise the chains to the height I want for their feeder and waterer. Good luck with finding your chain.
