Need small feeder idea for 4x3 coop.

[LaurelRidgeDreams]

We are moving two hens to a 4'x3' coop. Would love suggestions about feeders and waterers for this small area. Thanks

Here is my coop. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=272195 .Youll be able to see the feeder im talking about. it a 4" pvc tube, then a reducer down to i believe a 2" and then a 2" 45degree angle and then a 90degree angle. works great.

I hung a rabbit feeder from TSC. I did make a wood cover for it so they couldn't poop in their food. It keeps my 4 hens fed for 4-5 days. I've got a 4'x3' coop also and it doesn't take up much room.

Hi LaurelRidgeDreams---

Two hens wouldn't need much.

Here is one idea:

I got a type that is stainless steel from Jeffers Vet supply I think or MyPetChicken... They hang on the wire of the run. To save some space, I have switched to these in my run to save space.
Here is another example:

What an Awesome coop! Really nice chickens too.
Looks like a PVC end cap has your oystershells---right next to your PVC feeder....maybe that would work for LaurelRidgeDreams two hens.

good luck with what you decide.

Here`s a waterer idea. I`ve been using them for years. They are easy to clean and never break or wear out. Ideal for a couple hens in a smal area. Don`t forget to order springs for the bottles........Pop

I used a small pig feeder. It attaches to the wall so it takes up less space.

Thanks for the ideas!!!

Laurel, I told you it was a 4" pvc pipe but its a 3" pipe and then all the other items are correct.
