This is the feeder I'm using for three 12 week old chickens, hanging at their chest height, with crumble:
And dang if they don't knock it around, send it swinging, eat like animals (oh, wait...) and knock at least a third if not more of the feed all over the bottom of the coop.
I tried fermenting feed for a while, but it's too much daily work, and it kept molding.
I've got 50 lbs of crumble to go through before I can switch to pellets I suppose, but I don't like the idea of pellets, it just seems so...boring and rabbit foodish. And will they work with this feeder? Will they still be knocked around?
And why don't they eat that dang crumble off the floor before heading back to the feeder? (Because they aren't intelligent humans, I know, it was rhetorical, lol.)
I hate all this waste!
Any suggestions?
