Suggestions for Flipping Feeders

[Luviae]

Hi-

I am new to this forum. I helped my mom raise chickens when I was a child and now I have children of my own to raise chickens. We only have a dozen-some for 4-H and a few to eat. We have Rhode Island Reds who are now about 6 weeks old. They have recently started flipping their feeder over, scattering feed all over. The feeder only has a small stand underneath it, so I can't put a brick on the stand part to hold it down. Do you have any suggestions on how I can keep them from doing this?

I suppose you could get a different feeder. I have never heard of this before, so I don't quite know. Maybe some sort of hanging feeder.

I'd use a handing feeder.

Ok-Thanks, we may have to try a different feeder.
