Omlet cube and run

[helenarees]

Hello,

 

I've now got a poultry pen as the run for my Cube, it's really good except that the grub/glugs can't be attached to the sides of the pen. I've tried putting them on the floor, using the galvanised feeders (rectangle and hopper styles) and also a small dog bowl but they are all getting clogged up with hemcore as the girls scratch around (they're on hemcore/earth/grass). Anyone got any ideas what I can do to prevent this as the food 'disappears' under a large blanket of hemcore almost as soon as they're out.

 

Thanks

 

Helena

I raise one of my feeders up by sitting it on a chunk of breezeblock. My OH also made metal brackets to hang the glug and grubs from and they work great

Solway feeders do troughs, which hook onto the mesh http://www.solwayfeeders.com/productsdetail1.asp?STOCK_CODE=6227

 

I'm in half a mind to get some myself.
