Feeder ideas?

[SimoneG]

new to having keets (9 of them), they seem to be overly messy & keep throwing their feed out of the feeders. (I've tried the round ones with holes, the long ones with holes and a dog dish) wouldn't be a problem but they are on 1/4" hardware cloth in the hutch so it all falls thru with the poop Just curious on what everyone else uses for feeders? (My adults free range and clean up their pile pretty good.) Thanks!

The best you can do is hang those feeders so that they can't get their feet onto it and scratch out the feed, or scratch the wood shavings and get them full of wood shavings. Another type of feeder I really like is long, galvanized steel, and has a little roof bent over it so that they can's stand on it and scratch out all the feed. It's kind of like a trough, with a roof and the bird has to put it's head under the roof to eat.
