Unsecure chicken perches

[Lisa C]

I've been meaning to post about this for ages but everytime I get on the forum, by the time I've read all the other posts I'm interested in, my boss comes back in and I'm expected to work

 

So, I have my shinney (new to me) cube and have my three chooks. When I first got them, I put food in the Grub and in an old style Peanut so they could all feed whilst sorting out their pecking order.

 

It's all calm and lovely now, but all three ladies seem to eat only out of the Peanut! I'm a bit worried about when we go away for a couple of days later in the year (with no hen sitter). Will the Peanut hold enough food? And why don't they like the Grub?!

If you take away the peanut now. they will get used to the grub. They won't starve
