I have the standard, open-top, slightly tapered, hanging feeders........the kind that has an attached tray at the bottom
to dispense the chick starter.
My small flock of 9 is about 12 weeks old, and it seems that with each passing week, I find more and more and more
'tossed' feed on the ground! I mean LOTS!!!
The tray at the bottom of the feeders has 'dividers'.....which I assume is to diminish the amount of 'tossed' feed?
I am still feeding 'chick starter', and the feeders are suspended, so that the bottom tray is approx 3-4 inches off the ground.
Does anyone out there in BYC land have any suggestions to prevent all this waste of feed, and mess for me to clean up
daily???
Thanks in advance for any advice...............
