PioneerChicks
Naturalist
For adult chickens, I just dump the fermented feed on the ground. But chicks should have access to feed full-time (or so I've heard) for the first few weeks.
I have been feeding FF to my week-old chicks in a yogurt container lid. The problems are 1) the chicks spill some and 2) they tramp it down so hard that their tiny beaks can't peck it, and they poop in it too.
I'm looking for a DIY feeder that the chicks can't spill or jump in. Ideas? Oh, and does anybody know at what age you can stop offering it as free-choice?
