Morning everyone!
just thought I would pass on a tip. I was at a loss what to put calcium chips in for my little flock that they didn't make a mess in until I was at my local Country Store and spotted a small gravityfeeder that is designed to hang in the side of a bunny cage. Put a couple screws in the coop wall at right height (chicken belly high), bent the hangers around the screws, filled the feeder with chips and viola! no more mess
Going to pick up another one for grit before our ground freezes and everything is covered in snow.
Now, anyone out there have an idea for a pellet feeder they can't kick everything (or poop!) into? I feed inside the coop because first, my coop is pest proof and I also figure by keeping the main feed source inside I lessen the chance of contamination or attracting unwanted critters.
Happy Spring All!!!
