Feeder recs for small flock?

[vjbakke]

We only have 6 chicks ( hens) and they will not be free range, always in a run. What is the best type of feeder for a small flock. Right now we have a metal slide off troth style. Thanks

I like the round, hanging 15-pound size. I prefer to get it up off the ground to discourage waste and rodents. However we just switched to feeding on a schedule an just use a plastic oil drain pan that I found for $1. The pan goes right on the ground. But they clean up the food pretty fast so I don't worry about waste or rodents.
