Shelley Cockell Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm thinking of getting some feeders etc from omlet as I have a ground level feeders and drinkers which seem to get really messy when the chooks are confined to their run. I do not have an eglu/cube and the run is made from chicken wire - will I beable to adapt the superglug and grubs to fit on the wire??

ajm200 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 If you find that the grubs and glugs won't fit in your run, maybe you can get some hanging feeders and drinkers like this one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6kg-13lb-Galvanised-Hanging-Poultry-Feeder-Chicken_W0QQitemZ140212996544QQihZ004QQcategoryZ46292QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondinho Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Can't you just putthe ground feeders/drinkers on a brick so they are elevated from the kicking about that the chooks do? Prevents my feeder from becoming full of poo and hemcore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Cockell Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 We have a enamel feeder that can be hung but I wanted to put one on the side of the run so that it is out of their way, otherwise it will hang in the middle. We've tried elevating the drinker on slabs it but they still manage to get the bark in the water which then spoils the water Also I think in handsight we made their run too narrow and so the drinker and feeder just get in the way!
