Thanks all, it seems the vote goes to hanging feeders. Sounds like winner to me. Big news on the construction site. The coop has all it's walls (and human door) up and painted, the roof is shingled/capped and no leaks inside. he best news is even though this build is all by my wee hands Hubby said he can't wait for the chicks now, he has the bug. Of course watching chicken run last night sort of put a damper on the ole homesteading idea of when they stop laying and become chicken noodle soup. After a few minutes into the movie he said great now we can never have a chicken dinner. We will just have more pet mouths to feed lol.
