Hatching
I have 10 chicks at a week and a half old. I started them with a standard farm store feeder. They had feed everywhere. I researched here and found the threads on bucket feeders. So I built them one this morning out of 3 1-1/2" pax elbows and a 3 lb Folgers Coffee can.
They won't use it. I have been working in the garage where their brooder is all afternoon and not one of them has stuck her head in to get feed.
What sould I do?
Leave it and let them figure it out ?
Or put the old feeder back in?
I would rather pick up feed than a bunch of chicks that starved overnight.
Thank you for any help you can give
