I am curious about that as well. Also, once you place it, do you put it away at the end of the day or do you leave it?
I knew it was gonna rain last nite so I covered it with a bucket . It got wet one nite but they ate it so fast no time for mold to grow.
I fed mine in the coop during the winter last year. It helps a bit w/the boredom factor.
I didn't remove it, but left it in for a few days. The first block lasted about a week, the second, 3-4 days, the third - a little over one day! lol They realized that it was good
I wouldn't divide it for a smaller flock ( I had 15 girls last winter), but just leave it in for a few days. If you wanted to make it last longer, remove it and place it in a rubbermaid container to keep it fresher.
I was lucky and scored a sale at
TSC and bought two on clearance for $5 each!!
