A few weeks ago, we made a feeding station in our run. We couldn't find the kind of stones I wanted at Lowe's and so we decided to put down some rubber mulch. Big mistake! It looked nice and was easy to clean but the chickens decided it was great stuff to dig around in and so it got flung every where and the waterer was filled with mulch on a daily basis. As you can see it looked nice before the chickens got to it!
So I made a trip to my local supplier that sells cement, rocks and so forth and viola! He had the exact stones I was looking for. Heavy enough not to be flung around but smooth so they don't hurt their feet. So this morning I changed out the mulch and filled it in with the stones. I am trying to make a clean feeding area for them so their food and water stays cleaner. They were flinging dirt into prior. Here it is with the rocks. Keep your fingers crossed!
