feemcg Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hi folks, we got the girls last Wednesday and filled up the grub and glug. I've changed the water every second day - because it was almost empty and looking dirty. However they still have loads of pellets left and I'm aware that the info says it should last them about 3-4 days. Should I replace it anyway as its 5 days old or just leave it? They've not had a lot of treats - a couple of sprinklings of corn mix and last night a tiny amount of fresh corn - which they went wild for! Cheers, Fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley-Jean Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I think a whole grub full of pellets would last them for AGES. I change my chooks pellets about once a week to ensure they are nice and fresh and dry and that they are not going a bit musty from overnight damp. If I were you I would put less in the grub at a time so that not so many are wasted. I only use my grub for holiday time and still have the old style peanut feeders which are just the right size for my girls. I would advise you to change their water every day especially if the weather is warm to cut down on bacterial growth in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I clean the water everyday. My chickens tend to get mud or dry earth in the water holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
