Hi - I am going out of town for a few days soon and am SOOO worried about the chickens already. I am planning on making a waterer with some nipples, but am having a hard time deciding what feeder will work. I have four chickens. The feeder I have now - I HATE IT!!! It is just a mason jar with one of those metal things with the holes. I feel like there is SOOOOO much waste. I have to dump out whatever is left in the bottom to refill it. Plus they waste most if it by scratching it around. Is there a feeder with less waste? Oh yeah - mine gets all moist too. Is that normal? It is really humid here - but the feed gets all goopy and they go though one of those things every day or every other day - so it's not sitting there for all that long. I am nervous that if I make a feeder that will hold more - it will get nasty if it has holes. Any advice PRETTY PLEASE . and pictures. Thanks....erin
