Who it’s for

• Small farms and breeders that need reliable, easy-to-clean feeders.
• Schools, 4-H and educational programs using live poultry.
• Anyone replacing plastic feeders with a tougher metal option.

Tips for best results

• Hang feeder at the birds’ back height (so their backs are level with the feeder lip) to reduce waste and prevent roosting on the feeder.
• Keep feeder under a covered area to prevent rain from wetting the feed.
• Clean periodically: empty, hose out and dry to reduce mold and caking. Galvanized steel tolerates scrubbing.
• Use a small baffle or place feeder inside a low-walled feeding area if wild birds or rodents are frequent visitors.
• For very small chicks, combine with a chick-specific tray feeder until they are larger.

Uses & pairing ideas

• Primary feeder for laying flocks (use with layer mash or crumble).
• Brooding houses for pullets and small growers (monitor height).
• Use alongside automatic waterers for a low-maintenance coop setup.
• Combine with feed storage bins and vermin-proofing to keep feed fresh longer.
• Great for fair/education displays where a durable, safe feeder is required.

FAQ

Q: What is the Little Giant hanging feeder #9112 capacity and dimensions?
A: The #9112 model holds roughly 12 pounds of typical poultry feed. Dimensions vary slightly by manufacturing batch — contact the Spartanburg store (864-583-1443) for exact specs or view the manufacturer tag before pickup.

Q: Is the Little Giant galvanized hanging feeder rust proof?
A: It’s galvanized (zinc coated) to resist rust and corrosion, but it’s not completely impervious — keep it sheltered from standing water for longest life.

Q: How do I hang a 12 lb. hanging feeder in my coop?
A: Use a sturdy hook or bracket anchored into a joist or beam. Hang at the birds’ back height and check weekly to ensure the hanger and hook remain secure.

Q: Can I leave this feeder outside?
A: Yes, under cover. The galvanized finish tolerates weather better than plain steel, but long exposure to heavy rain or direct ground contact increases corrosion risk.

Q: How do you clean a galvanized metal hanging feeder?
A: Empty feed, hose or scrub with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid harsh acids; routine cleaning keeps feed fresh and prevents disease.

Q: Will wild birds or rodents access a hanging feeder?
A: Hanging reduces ground scavengers; but small wild birds may still access feed. Use feeder placement and baffles to reduce unwanted visitors.

Q: Is this feeder suitable for chicks?
A: For very small chicks, use a chick feeder until they are large enough to safely use the hanging feeder without getting trapped or falling in.

Q: What feed types work best in the Little Giant 12 lb. feeder?
A: Crumbles, pellets and coarse mash all work. Finely powdered feed may cake; monitor for bridging and clean as needed.

A: Hang so the feeder lip is approximately level with the birds’ backs — typically 6–10 inches above the standing surface, adjusted by breed and size.

Q: Replacement parts — can I get a top or hanger if it’s damaged?
A: Some parts may be available through the manufacturer or store. Call us at 864-583-1443 and we’ll check availability.
