Best Chick Feeders
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Chicks waste feed enthusiastically, scratching it out of open dishes and then standing in it. A feeder that limits access to the feed itself, rather than presenting it in an open pan, saves money and keeps crumble clean enough to eat. What varies is the feeding style, how many chicks can eat at once, whether the base sits flat on shavings, and how simple it is to refill without disturbing the brooder. We looked at spillage, how well each design resists being perched on and fouled, feeding positions per unit, and how the parts come apart for washing. Screw on jar feeders suit small hatches and cost very little. Long troughs with dividers suit bigger batches that all want to eat at the same time. Port style feeders suit keepers moving chicks toward a grown up feeding setup.
