Looks like you are gonna need a much bigger feeder.

Some one else recently posted here looking for other Chicago chicken folks, she lives in the Pilsson area.

You may want to look for her post and correspond with her.

G’Day from down under therempels

Welcome!

As you have already received links to some good starting points, I will just wish you all the best.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share more pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
