chick feeder: Honeycomb shaped silicone potholder

[Dinx]

Perfect newly hatched chick feeder! I found it at Walmart. It's a bright orange hexagon potholder made of silicone. It has the little honeycomb cells with raised edges. Maybe 1/4" thick. Easy to wash, easy for babies to step up onto, food that's kicked simply falls into another cell, bright color attracts them. And can ACTUALLY be a potholder between hatches. LOL Multitasking at it's finest!

The little guy walking away from it just ate there. His name is Edward. How can I tell among 6 coturnix babies? All 6 are named Edward.

I try to keep them from pooping in their food myself.

Yeah, I have dispensers for them when they are tall enough to handle them. What do you use for the newly hatched ones?
