Advice please, re: feeder/drinker

Recommended Posts

hello everyone,

 

we are almost ready to welcome our chickens (well, run is semi-constructed and i am promised by my husband and son that it will be finished very soon :D )

 

i have just been browsing online, and now i am confused about which containers to get for food/drink.. there seems to be such an assortment!

 

could anyone offer advice as to what sort of containers they have found to be best? it would be much appreciated.

 

thank you!

 

xx

I've heard others say that but i find they dont seem to spill the mash at all. When i used the plastic feeder it got aubiose and poo in it :?

 

Mine keeps clean if I hang it up. Impossible to use on the floor of the run though, as you say, ends up with all kinds of other stuff in it.

We use the 'glug' and 'grub' from Omlet but are are planning to change to the standard feeders when the walk in run is finished as we get a lot of 'spillage' from the 'grub', :(

 

Jane, Trying not filling the grub so much. I got some spillage at first, now I just put less in each time. With just 2 chickens it doesn't need to be too full.

We've got the standard 3k plastic feed hopper and a plastic drinker. I had to put the drinker on 2 flat bricks in the corner of the coop in the end as they kept knocking it over (we've got bark chippings down, so not an even/flat surface). Both seem to be absolutely fine though.
