Awesome! We have steel long feeders for our chicken tractors and plastic long feeders when they are smaller... but at this age they go through so much feed that we use the 7lbs round feeders until they go outside. We use 1 round feeder per 10 chicks. It works for us.I prefer the long galvanized or plastic feeders, I don't use the round one for my meat birds anymore. The long ones with the hole on top is okay, but their heads don't fit when they get bigger. The long one with the rod going across on top is better for the bigger chickens, at least their heads can reach the bottom. I screw my feeder on a wood, so it doesn't topple over.
Will be glad to get them out of the garage and onto fresh grass this week.
Appreciate your feedback!
