I thought about posting a thread about using cartons, but forgot about it!
I've been using the bottom half of cartons for my broilers for 2 weeks now. They're AWESOME!!!!!!! They have yet to tip one over, and they're not dirty!! I'm using the cardboard kinds. I also thought I'd be replacing them often, but I've had the same 2 cartons for the entire 2 weeks. I just did add a third feeder because they're growing so big, but the cartons work extremely well!!!! They haven't pecked them at all. And, I think the dividers (the part that's "pointy") keeps them from standing in the feed.
Here's a blog post where I mention them.
