Haha CX are so relaxed and lazy... except in the morning when the food comes out!

Cute! They look healthy!

I had to switch to gutter feeders around that age so everyone would have enough space. They were climbing on top of each other and slicing each others, skin open on their rear ends with their claws in their attempt to get to the food in the morning.

I saw the red edge and thought chick feeder for some reason... LOL!

I meant an actual gutter, like from the hardware store. 6 ft vinyl gutter stuck in some cinderblocks worked great for us. Like in the 1st and 3rd post in the thread below. I raised 25 CX from Jan-Mar this year, and my egger feeders were totally inadequate. This was a great cost effective solution for us, just thought I'd share.
