I do this with my quail. I fill their feeder, they spread half of it around like little ungrateful birds within a day or so, I then laugh at them and tell them I won't be refilling the feeder until all the food is eaten off the ground. It works.
My hens scatter most of their food on the ground and then don't eat it!

I made feeders like in the previous post. Its amazing. I went from 50lbs a week for my flock of 14+2 ducks, to maybe 15-20lbs a week... I never realized how much they were wasting!
It is as simple as putting a 3" PVC 90 degree elbow in the side of a 5 gallon bucket. I got the twist open lids for them too so I can refill them without help.

I have two types of feeders one hangs. My chickens used to eat the oats. I'm mixing it the same way but now that the weather has turned they throw it on the ground. I use rolled corn barley and molasses. Sweet feed and oats.
I put mine into tubs the hen hops in and likes to kick it, but it has to stay in the tub.
