Hi all we have 5 black stars 13 weeks old. I built the five gallon bucket feeder with the planter base. we put it up on cinder blocks but the girls fling the feed out of the feeder & all over the ground. Is this just normal or is there something we can do to stopem from doing this. you all have good ideas & creative solutions we hope you can help us with this. feed is spendy when they are only eating half of it. thankyou mgw.

Me too.
 
I like the pellets too. However, I have a hard time finding pelleted grower. It's usually just in the layer feeds around here. There is a good post on here about a PVC pipe feeder that might work for you.
 
thanks for the tips . I like the looks of that feeder Y/C could probbably pay for it with couple months of food savings.
 
We Have Thought About Not Giving Them Anymore Till They Clean Up The Ground But I T Has Been Raining So Much Everything That Hits The Ground Is Quickly Turned To Mush. Think They Will Still Eat It??
