Is this hanging feeder too high?

That is a cool feeder! Im looking for a new one because the quart size chick feeder is a little small....

Was wondering if you had specific instructions??

We went off this idea, but used the cat litter container and a hog pan from the local hardware store.

It works really well and I can replace the cat litter bin part if it gets dirty very easily as I go through at least 2-3 bins a month for the kitties

I will be lowering it a few inches later today. If the end up making a huge mess, I'll put it back up. But I don't want them to hurt their necks trying to get food

Having only 4 hens, I don't imagine it will be too bad even if they do spill a little. And since I use deep litter, I bet they'll scratch around to find it anyways!


Thanks all!!

Updated in first post - lowered it and they seem happier.
