Best feeder for babies

[cottontail farm]

I forgot how messy quail chicks are. What does everyone here like best for a crumble feeder? I'm using a chick feeder and while the quail are no longer trying to get stuck inside of it (fun!)they are still taking great joy from scratching crumble all over the place.

Can you raise the feeder on a block or hang it slightly higher???

I'll try to raise it slightly. Great idea!

How old are they and how many?

I usually sprinkle feed on top of a paper towel on top of the shavings for the first couple days. I change the paper towel once or twice a day.

Then I'll add the red tractor supply feeder. Sometimes I'll add duct tape covering the top half of each hole so they don't climb inside it.

Raising it helps a lot. I set it and my feeder on blocks of wood that keep them elevated above the pine shavings. As they get bigger I raise them higher so they don't knock shavings in the feeder or waterer.
