I have 40 chicks and right now I'm feeding them around the clock (they are not yet 2 weeks) and I am refilling their water 2X a day (I have two one quart canning style water things) and I have one long red feed thing that I empty and refill and put the old stuff on top 2 X a day, but they will pretty much eat 1.5 times the feeder in one day. What do you all use with your larger groups of cornish (25+) to feed and water, and do you have any pictures? I'd like to do the food and water once per day instead of twice.
At what age is it safe to put in the one gallon watering thing without worrying about them drowning if I don't have marbles? I hate having marbles in my house, so I just bought smaller water holders till they got big enough for the big one...
Also, I have been changing the bedding completely every couple of days and put new shavings down to cover the poop everyday...but they all still have poop on their feet and under chest. Anything I should be doing differently? Should I be swapping it all out everyday? It doesn't seem to matter because they poop all over it right away anyway!
Thanks
