** When choosing a Chicken Feeder for layers it is better to have a round feeder rather than a trough, this stops dominant birds from controlling access to the feed.
*** Poultry Feeders should hang to prevent the birds sifting the feed and spilling some out, the ideal height is between back and eye height. This also helps to prevent dominant birds from stopping birds lower down the pecking order from accessing the feed.
**** With Chicks, the choice is between round hoppers and troughs - Troughs are good with fine mash feeds but prefer Round hoppers for crumbles.
