I waited until mine were 8 weeks old, put a little food on the edge of the elbow once they see it you'll be in business.

That's the idea,if they have to reach for the food they can't rake it out and waste it,they get plenty of food.

You are going to have to cut them to the proper length, if you don't they won't be able to reach the food.

You should put a little food on the edge so they can see it,once they see the food inside they will take to it fine.It took mine less than 5 minutes to figure it out.

The 3 inch has worked flawlessly for me, the one inch off the bottom I believe is more important as well as having it high enough so they have to stretch a little to get it.

This is the only picture I have at the time, I just filled it today. There is another one on the other side, 3 inch elbows I used the small piece I cut off the elbows and pushed it into the end with the flange to make it stick out a little further don't know if it helps but I had the extra piece...

If they are billing it out it's usually because the hole was drilled to close to the bottom of the bucket, or the elbows were cut to short, basically the farther they have to stick their heads in the less chance of waste. I made this mistake on the first one I made, on the second made the hole...

I went to Lowe's and got 3 inch schedule 40 90 degree elbows with the flange in the plumbing isle.Take away the crumbles and put a few pellets on the edge of the elbows so they can see it, they will eat no chicken ever starved to death when there was food available.

would have at least 2 feeders in with that many chickens just to avoid squabbling, the feed won't go to waste and if they only use one then that's less you'll have to fill it.

If your birds have large combs they might be hesitant to stick their heads inside I would try to find the 3 inch.

Put it so the hole is about as high as their backs.

I was feeding crumbles but switched to pellets just because of the dust at the end of the bag, seems a lot less with the pellets.

Put a little food on the edges of the elbow so they can see it and they will be using it in no time.

Mine were using it at 12 weeks and I will never go back to anything else.
