Ribh's D'Coopage

I have 3 feeders for 6 girls. That seems to be working. They do have food all day long.
Yes, so do mine, but I put down the evening feed in tubs & I'd prefer not to but still ensure everyone gets a chance @ the food before bed. :(
 
That's why I always make cetain whoever's is last in the pecking order gets their share. The chicken world is cruel but I try to make it a little more fair.
Me too. Hence the way I do the evening feed. It ensures everyone gets their share, no~one misses out & treats aren't hogged by the Big Girls.
 
She says "Hi! Lovely day! I ate a weed!"
The "weed" comment reminds me.

Hattie has 2 dandelions she is torturing and keeping to herself. She goes to them when everyone else is busy and eats a few leaves. They are the only dandelions in my yard and she is keeping them alive for snack purposes!

She is a dandelion farmer! :gig
 
When spring finally arrives, I get a yard full (nearly 1/3 acre) of dandelions. Hattie can have them all. I don't use poisons - if I am really upset with weeds, I dump a pan of boiling water on them :confused:.
My back yard is pristine. Only Hattie's secret dandelions exist. They are excellent yard keepers. Put a fence up and I'll bring them by. ;)
 
I am planning on replacing my treadle feeder & tubs with tubes. No matter how many I put out the Big Girls still manage to hog the food. Ten might just do it... :rolleyes:
Everybody gets to eat here but not all at once. It's seniors first with the junior roosters being last.
