So yesterday I filled up their feEder which is just old gravity fed cat food dish probably hold a pound or two of chicken feed I noticed the other day it was gone almost instantly! I have 11 chicks right now in the brooder ranging between 2 & 3weeks...I reach my hand down there the other day and scraped away some pine shavings and I could have swore I could have filled a whole bag backup full of chick feed! they love to just go in the dish and scratch it out and throw it everywhere want to build a PVC pipe feeder but I don't know if they're big enough yet to reach it
