I made some feeders using a bulk container and 3" pvc.im sure most of you know what I'm talking about.my chickens do excellent buy my roosters comb is very large and I'm not sure he can stick his head in to eat I've watched him pick at feed the hens drag out but I've never seen him stick his head in to eat.do y'all think if he gets hungry enough he will stick his head in and eat?or do I need to build a differerent feeder?

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends
