It's not gravity fed so it's kinda like a big bowl/dish? maybe???
Yes, and they couldn’t just go wading through it. Ok, I think I’ll give it another go!

Can you explain why?Yes, I have used it for meat birds for years. I believe it offers some very specific advantages for raising meat birds especially that it doesn't for egg layers. I also ferment chick feed sometimes.
It's fine for egg layers, but doesn't offer the same benefits to effort ratio in my experience, so I don't bother..
I am thinking of trying this myself. People who do this say it saves wastage of chicken feed. My girls do waste a lot of food.
Can you explain why?
It doesn’t have to be that complicated. And I think the feeder you’ve made from the plastic jug will work great. I’m going to make one like it. Thanks for the idea!I want to try it but I'm a bit nervous...might make another milk jug feeder and offer fermented and dry next to each other and see which they prefer. I watched a quick video and it said that you have a jar, feed, and distilled water, cover with cheesecloth, and let sit. How long do you let it sit? How do you know it's ready? How bad does it smell?
