What is the best chicken feeder?
When picking what the best feeder for your chickens will be you must consider the amount of birds you have and how frequently you go out to feed them. A larger trough poultry feeder is great for a coop with many chickens and can be filled to the top with food. A hopper feeder is great for those who cannot visit their chickens frequently as it can refill the feeding trough itself without the need for your assistance.

Are plastic or metal chicken waterers best?
Although both plastic and metal poultry waterers are suitable for your chickens, the most durable and long lasting option is a galvanised metal waterer. Metal poultry drinkers are more hard-wearing, easy to clean and less prone to mould build and will outlast any plastic trough or waterer you may have.
