Let's see your dishes for feeding fermented feed

Date sort Score sort
I use a 4ft long piece of plastic gutter to feed my chickens scraps. I haven't got into the fermented feed yet, but I've been thinking of asking hubby to fashion some legs for the guttering to make it higher and more stable so they can not knock it over.
 
I LOVE elevate dog bowl idea! I've done the trough & now using a cheap plastic dog bowl which for this batch of girls is working out fine.


Only had 4 so used that trough minus the lid (TSC), secured to a 2x4 (height). Yup they ate by chopsticks.

The Wynadottes (5) I have now are "lady" like, don't walk in their FF so the dog bowl works fine. Now & then I'll hang an apple or pear for them to snack on. Got them at 7mos, shocked they don't like Freeze Dried Mealworms! They'll eat around the MW. Have had them for couple months now & still can't get them to eat the MW. They love boiled eggs & not scrambled

The photo of the girls eating from chopsticks is awesome! They look like they wanted some spam musubi to follow that up, though.

X2 - I use several rubber bowls of varying sizes from TSC. They're easy to crack frozen feed out of, if needed, and rinse out well.

I've used those for several years, but the fermented feed gets dirty because they pullets jump into it and the hens kick dirt in as well. I also wonder if the sides are too high? I've tried using an old plate, but then the dirt gets kicked in... time to think outside the box!

I like the idea of raising the dishes on the wooden platforms with the holes cut out. I'm building my coop right now, so it's a good project for the scrap materials!
