Lethal Chaos
In the Brooder
How does one get chickens to change from one style feeder to another?
I can't get them to stop using a chick style feeder.
They went from one of those basic red ones as chicks to this blue one that has the legs. Now that they're all 8-12 weeks old and living out in the coop I'm trying to get them to use the feeder style pictured that hangs.
But they won't. They know but they won't use it. I've had a couple try it for a couple seconds but they seem to not like something about putting their head in there. They act as if a predator or something is about to sneak up on them.
I'd really like them to forfeit the blue one as it's encouraging pests like ants and rodents to try and get in it. And I'd like the blue feeder for the newer chicks in the brooder. TTwTT
