Homemade chick feeder for brooder?

[Irajoe]

I was glad to see AK_Button_Mama's post regarding a homemade waterer. I plan to use the waterer in the brooder for chicks set to hatch on the 19th.

Now, I'm hopeful to get ideas on a homemade chick feeder that I could use the brooder.

Thank you!

Absolutely it does...looks like a very viable option for me.

Thank you so much!

Could an ice cube tray be used? Most people have those around and it could easily fit in most brooder boxes.

No one answered me, but I went ahead and tried it. It worked fine when I had a weekend with three separate brooders and 50 chicks for a group order. Lots of openings for many chicks at once to eat. My only complaint was some would stand on or in it and it got bits of poop in it occasionally. But they poop in every thing anyway.
