I have 12 hens. They roam their run during the day but it is only 12x12 and the grass was all gone withing 3 days of them being in it. I throw them fresh veggies and fruit every now an again and they also get a scratch mix every now and again. BUT I don't think they like their pellets. I have a PVC feeder I made that is about 3-4ft long 4in diameter. It has 5 holes drilled in it. I know they know how to eat out of it i have watched them but I havnt refilled it in more than a week. I thought that with 12 birds I would be refilling it more often. They lay okay. But I know theya re not finding enough in their run to eat. I put out a pie plate of food which the promptly spilled but they cleaned it up. Do I need to make a new feeder? BIgger holes? You can see it in this pic.
