2-Pack Hanging Poultry & Livestock Feeders with Mounting Hardware
Product description
This kit contains two identical hanging feed troughs, each measuring 11.6 x 5 x 5 inches, ideal for holding grains, mineral mixes and other dry rations.
Each feeder is molded from polypropylene (PP), a resilient plastic that resists cracking and stands up to everyday use around birds and small livestock. The material is food-safe and easy to clean, helping maintain hygiene in your coop or pen.
To help you install the feeders, the package includes 4 mounting clips, 4 cable ties and 4 pointed screws. That gives you options: hang the troughs from wire mesh, secure them to a fence or board, or screw them onto a stable surface for a permanent fit.
By raising feed off the ground, these troughs reduce contamination from mud and bedding, limit trampling and discourage wasteful scattering of grain. They’re intended for chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, and also work for smaller livestock such as goats, sheep, piglets, ponies and even dogs or deer in certain setups.
The simple shape and smooth PP surface make routine cleaning straightforward. With moderate installation and proper placement, these feeders provide a tidy, efficient way to distribute feed across a variety of animals.
Pros
- Durable PP construction
- Multiple mounting options included
- Keeps feed elevated and cleaner
Cons
- Clips can be fragile under heavy stress
- Not ideal for aggressive chewers
- May require drainage holes in wet climates
VerdictA practical, low-maintenance feeding solution for small farms and backyard flocks. Made from sturdy PP, the pair keeps rations off damp bedding and limits trampling. Comes with several attachment methods so you can hang them on wire, fasten to a fence or fix to a wall. Good value for poultry and most light livestock; heavier or determined animals may stress the clips over time.

Good build but pricey
Nice quality though a bit expensive. They've held heavy loads and I added drainage holes.

Solid for grit and supplements
I use these for grit and calcium in the run. They perform well, hang easily and hold plenty. I drilled a few small holes so rain drains out, otherwise they’re great.

Easy to install and use
Sturdy and simple to mount. We screwed them to the coop wall; hens can’t tip them and food waste has dropped.

Not great for goats
Lasted only one summer with my goats before they were broken. Clips are a bit weak—fine for chickens but not heavy chewers.
