Before anyone gets mad at me for being new, I have already searched both Google and the forums for this, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get the specific information I want, so I was hoping some of you have exact recommendations.
I am looking for cup (or trough) type feeders I can hang on the 1/2" hardware cloth on the SIDE of my run. The reason for this is that I give my girls fermented feed, currently in just bowls from my cupboards, and since it's wet, it doesn't do well in one of those hanging gravity feeders, and if I put it on the ground, they like to scratch while eating and either immediately scratch the dirt into the feed or all the feed into the dirt. Either way, waste of feed. If I elevate the feeder, they flutter up and either knock the bowls over (I have currently have Seramas), or if I use a more stable bowl or plate, they perch on the edge and get it all dirty. I've purchased two of those galvanised hanging corner feeders that I currently use in the cheapy run that came attached to the coop I'd purchased from a person on Craigslist, but we've just built a larger run, and there's no way they can hang on a 2x4.
Other plastic cup feeders I've seen either don't specific the size of the hanging tabs, or they're 1" width - too wide to fit on the hardware cloth.
