Keeping chick food and water clean

[garye5007]

I’ve been a while since I’ve been here, I’ve raised chicks many times over the years and I’ve always struggled with them knocking over their food and water making a mess and wasting food. I was looking at these hanging chick waters and feeders has anybody tried these? They are very mixed reviews and I’m not sure if this pic is gonna show up in my thread.Does anybody have any tips on what I might try this time? gonna get another half dozen rocks this year. thank you very much in advance for any tips advice.

Use puppy pads or put the feeders on a plate or Frisbee

Before my current waterer i put the container up on a shallow tote to help heep it clean. I recently bought a chick waterer that has legs that can be adjusted in height as the chicks grow. I still have to keep an eye on it for debris but it seems like a better container
