ABSTRACT:
A trough feeder is disclosed for use with growing fowl. The feeder is partially defined by a relatively low feed-retaining side wall located adjacent a row of retaining cages. Spaced above the cages at a first mounting position is a shield member. Small chicks are induced to reach for feed in the trough from a low position above the trough side wall and below the shield. When the fowl grow larger, the shield is lowered into a second mounting position adjacent the trough side wall. When so positioned, the adult chickens are forced to obtain feed from a higher position by reaching over the top of the shield member, and are inhibited from raking or tossing feed out of the trough feeder.
