tom123 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I have 2 hens in a 6x4 run and a large house but the all the room in the run gets taken up by the ladder and the feeder which hangs in the middle about 8 inches from the floor. Yesterday I thought I would try and move the feeder. So I put it on some bricks in the corner and the girls had so much more room but... After a few hours the girls had pulled most of the food out of the feeder and onto the floor! Does anyone have any tips on where to place your feeder and any pics??

Sandychick Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 They really do have terrible table manners don't they? mine are a messy bunch too. I have the Eglu Grub feeder on the side of the run. They do tip loads of pellets on the floor so I have put a slab under the feeder so that it's easy to sweep up. It also stops it from getting damp and mouldy on the floor. Some people use a plastic cat litter tray to catch the pellets. I thought that mine might stand on it and tip it over though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 I think i might get a grub feeder because i use a hopper and they aren't great! Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I have a hopper wedged up tight against the wall. Sticking things in corners stops them getting too knocked over. Anna x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
