Can you hang them? I have my waterer suspended from a chain. Currently their feeder is a big dog bowl b/c I feed them fermented feed. If and when I start giving them dry feed, (probably will when the weather starts to freeze) I'll give them a feeder mounted on the door made of plastic gutter with a 4" stove pipe "silo". If they're knocking the feeder and waterer over, it sounds like they're trying to perch on them. Can you block their access to the space above them??

surpizingly the only time dolly tryed to perch on top of the waterer she couldnt get down lol so she never tryed it again. what i think they are doing is walking over it lol and dolly an jackie are kinda well lol fat. or just big lol i think they would take offence if i called them fat to there faces lol. and i like the idea of the plastic gutter for feeder and for waterer actualy. how would i do that ?

There's a site on BYC labeled feeding and watering your flock. You'll find lots of neat ideas there.
