Eyren Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I have a grub'n'glug set, and the old-style "peanuts" that came with my secondhand eglu, and both work well. However, if it's low enough for a chicken to eat/drink from, a certain amount of kicked bark/hemcore will end up in it, so you will have to empty it regularly. A low-sided dish will quickly get buried - I found a 2" deep ceramic "dog" dish (used for treats) when I last raked out my run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Have a look on Ebay for poultry feeders and drinkers. There is a wide selection and you are bound to see what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 get something they can't easily kick over or climb into or onto. we have plastic troughs that hang on the mesh and they work well but the little madams started climbing onto them and the rain got into the mash but both problems were solved by the addition of a home made hood arrangement, easier if i show you. DH made them from plastic plant drip trays and attached them with cable ties. You'll probably want to avoid all that messing about http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=22895 http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=22898 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
