teacake Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 What does everyone think about how many feeders you need, if I'm getting 4 chickens will the one set of grub/glubs be enough, or is it better to get another set so there is less chance of squabbling over who gets breakfast first?

Redwing Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 One set should be fine but a couple of coop cups would be handy to provide an extra feed/drink station when you merge the chooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneyolktoanother Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 for our 4 chickens we had a 5 kg galvanised feeder for them but due to pecking and bullying we had to serperate them into pairs into two big runs so they have one each run ,not sure on grubs never used them someone will soon be along to tell you about them hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I've got 5 chickens but I have 3 grubs on the go as one of the Black Rocks spends her time rushing round desperately needing to eat out of the grub that someone else is using . I'm sure she gets more exercise than she does food . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammiboo Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 we have 4 hens and one grub - but with the 3 new arrivals will get another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacake Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 thanks for the responses, a black rock is on my wish list, perhaps I'll have to get a grub just for her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I had one grub and one glug for my 4, but when I merged two groups together to make 6 in total I had two of each plus little pots in different postions with food in, to ensure that every one could get to some food.
