Feeding stations - how many?

[Omegankathleen]

Hello!

We have 17 hens, 1 rooster, and 3 geeese on 4 acres that all free range. Im wondering how many feeding stations we should have? And how far apart? The older hens drive the younger hens out and I am worried they are not getting enough food! I just purchased more feeders but I am wondering if we have enough. Thank you!

Not knowing what kind of set up you have as far as coop size, i would just say 3.
If the feeders in question are like the one pictured, i would say only about 3 birds could eat at one time. They look like indoor feeders, but maybe in nice weather you could set a couple outside far apart so the youngsters have more opportunity to eat. This will resolve itself as they get older.
