Small goats & big chickens + 1 old horse
At a week of age you are kind of limited in feeders. I am just happy to see them chowing down! In the Learning Center part of the site there is a section on feeders and waterers; there are lots of plans for different feeders in there, study some of the no waste feeders. I think they are too small for a treadle feeder!
I have 15-1 weekers and am using the mayo jar with a screw on, multi-hole base. I just sweep the excess spillage into a scrap bucket that eventually goes to the big girls. When the chicks get to where they are all up on top of the feeder, I usually change to the long metal version of your long plastic one.
