Really cute chicken set up!I use hanging feeders and also wet their feed so it's more of a mash that doesn't scatter everywhere.
If you do a mash you can use a bird feeder like this so it doesn't get stuck. You can see it in the center on my pic.

Hang feeders & waterers about 8-10 inches off the ground.
