Most feed types work well in Royal Rooster's gravity style feeder such as pellets and grain mixes. The drinker and feeder can then simply hook over these brackets making removal for cleaning or refilling so easy. If you plan to position your set inside your coop, 4 aluminum brackets and 8 needle point screws are included FREE of charge which you can mount to your coop wall. The Royal Rooster waterers and feeders are designed to simply hook onto the mesh of your coop, but can also be hung on a solid wall with the use of some metal brackets. The hooks are designed to hook onto 1" x 1" hardware cloth but if you have smaller cloth, simply attach the metal brackets provided with your set to your hardware cloth with zip ties or wire and your set can hook onto these brackets rather that onto the hardware cloth directly. These are made from nylon plastic so are very strong with replacements available if they do manage to break. These waterers and feeders simply hook onto the hardware cloth of your coop, making cleaning and filling much easier than hanging waterers. We've had customers who have been using the same waterer and feeder set for 10 years! These feeders and waterers won't heat up like metal containers or degrade easily like other plastic ones on the market. No one wants to feed all the local wildlife when they're trying to just feed their chickens! Many dollars are saved using these feeders. The added benefit of the rain cover is that it helps to prevent wild birds such as sparrows and pigeons as well as possums, squirrels and rodents from eating from your feeder. This drinker and feeder set comes complete with a rain cover for your feeder, to keep your feed clean and dry in any type of weather. The feeders hold approximately 7lbs of feed and are 19 inches tall. Many dollars are saved using this type of feeder. The uniquely designed tray that forms part of this feeder, has special divisions which discourages the chickens from 'swiping' the grain from the feed tray and onto the ground. We used to have so much grain wasted by chickens who would scratch all their feed onto the ground in search of the tastiest piece of grain! This is a very common thing for chickens to do. Our feeders overcome the common problem of feed wastage. The waterers hold approximately 1 gallon of water and are 19 inches tall. Like us, chickens need a fresh supply of clean water. With traditional drinkers, we regularly had to change the water as the chickens had scratched dirt into the waterer. When the chickens drink from the red cup and the water level goes down, the valve automatically replenishes the cup. They incorporate a professional valve operated drinker cup (used by poultry experts) that only allow a small amount of water in the red cup at any one time. Our waterers overcome the problems of evaporation, spillage and soiled water.
