Out of all that all I can say is if u have waste you're feeding too muck

I use feed cups and cut gallon jugs for water

Gotta admit I laughed on staking the birds what came to mind is grabbing up chickens and saying ok u going here bam bam bam, you going here bam, bam bam. Sorry its tie cords and no I don't but others do

Oh and imo the oeg are a show chicken and has been bred to a standard at whatever cost including losing its gameness. Whereas the American games are bred for gameness

And the different breeds that is just gonna have to come with reading and experience.

Yes I probably am feeding to much, today they are free ranging only. Plenty to forage in my jungle back yard. But I am going to get some sort of feed cups I think. On the water jugs how do you cut those? I got jugs...

I am glad I gave you a good chuckle.

Yeah I have no clue how game or not game the OEG are now.

Oh yea. No big ones yet this year.

I actually am loving this weather right now. It's hot but the sun is intermittently blocked by clouds, low humidity, and a nice breeze. It's great under the shaded patio

Like havoc said the birds can get them dirty some more than others I try to set them on top their nest boxes
It works for me and I prolly have over 100 jugs. My neighbors save me theirs. Every now and then I cut a few new ones and replace the dirtiest ones.

I use water and feed cups year round. So I fill water cups before I go in for the night and as soon as I get home in the early afternoon.
In winter i use V bottom black 16 oz cups and summer 32 oz gray oval cups. I hate waterers and the milk jugs obviously work but they get filthy quick. Some birds are worse than others with screwing up their water though.

what do u use as a water container to pour the water into the cups? Some type of jug

the game has begun, and yes I got blue kote all over my d*mn hands again

Wormed, deloused, wiped down the legs of some birds today. Got a whole bunch still to do tomorrow. First time I used a pill wormer. Not too bad. They swallow them right down for the most part. Just gotta stick the capsule way back there otherwise it will get stuck and melt in their mouth lol

Main reason I quit using them is my pens are all screwed down with no doors "no chance of escaping" so I stick to the cups. Then every now and then I scoop em them all up in a couple of buckets and scrub them out. Within about 30 seconds they get em dirty again lol

Same milk jugs, just leave em whole.
