My chicks aparently like to scratch. Every time I fill their bowl, the immediately go nuts. They end up kicking most of the food out. They also fill the feeder with pine shavings. I got tired of wasting so much food into the bedding, so I added a low plastic container to hold the feeder. It catches most of the kick out. When the bowl is empty, but food is all over the container I remove the bowl until the eat most of the food they kicked out. They still drag in shavings and now have pooped in the food bowl.
Is this normal? Any ideas on how to lessen the waste? I have gone through almost 5lbs in feed in almost 3 weeks. Is there anything I can do with the wasted (poopified) feed?
