Baby chicks wasting feed solution.

[bufforpfarm]

I use the round 9 hole feeders an the chicks waste half of it with their beaks pulling it out of holes. I took cardboard an wrapped around feeders 1 inch above holes an it stopped 99% of waste.

Hmmmm...might just have to try this. My girls are throwing their feed around like they're trying out for pitching positions in the Major League!!

It works wrap cardboard tight with tape. My chicks were wasting half their feed

Another common solution is to wet the food.
