What do you all use for feeders for your birds? I bought one of the Mason jar feeders at Tractor Supply and they've completely spilled it out in a matter of an hour. How can I feed them without all the waste?
 
So far I just have a couple of those little hanging galvanized corner feeders for my three hens. I have to fill them every day, so obviously it's not the best choice. Also, they like to dig through it and knock it out. But I guess they can just eat it off the ground if they're very messy. At least only a days' worth of food gets knocked out.

I have them hanging from the chicken wire under their actual coop so that rain won't make their food all soggy. I bought a funnel to fill them from the outside because it was really bad having to crouch under there to fill it.
 
I use a plastic long covered chick feeder from amazon only about five pounds they haven't knocked it over but they do kick bedding into it but only takes a few seconds to clean out the
 
I use the tall glad containers they are very cheap. I also cut a 1 1/4 holes in them for them to get to the food. I use a soldering iron to cut the holes it makes the edges very smooth.
