Feeder with minimal spillage?

[DenverBird]

Apologies if this has been posted before but...

Our hens in the tractor seem to spill a lot of their feed with the 11 Lb Little Giant Plastic Hanging Poultry Feeder and as a result got lots of surprising volunteers in the garden this spring.

Can anyone please recommend a feeder that will minimize spillage more than the Little Giant?

Thanks,

Were is mississippifarmboy when you need him? I also now of a good redneck feeder just can't find instructions.

A section of gutter will work well and cut down on waste.

These are my home made feeders that were made from recycled materials, (pallets and PVC pipe). I have ZERO waste/spillage. I use the trough style because I have over 200 animals that have to eat from the feeders, so the smaller feeders don't work for me. Some of my feeders are 4 feet long and some are 5 feet long. I have these feeders placed in the chicken yard. I pick them up and place them under my raised coop when I know it will rain, so that the feed doesn't get wet. The 4 feet long feeders can hold 5 gallons of feed and the 5 feet long feeders hold 5 1/2 gallons of feed. They're not pretty or fancy but they work PERFECT for me.
