    We have the same feeder, and they can spill large amounts of feed on the floor, I found if I put it on a 2x6 and raise it up a bit, it helps keep feed in the container.

    I feel the feeders in the vid are good for all reasons mentioned, except for spill-out. I bought 2 of them (From a local supplier.) after getting a dozen chicks, and I've found that they end up raking more out of the feeders than what they actually eat. I think these feeders would be MUCH better if the feeder holes were about half the size currently utilized in their design.

    @goggleuser7546 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    small tip you can also use a flat bowl and a Plastik bottle for the water!
    you just have to make some holes in the bottle under the edge of the bowl then you have to do water into the bottle and close it so no air from the outside can touch the water besides the holes at the bottom of the bottle.

Should i mix feeds for the chicks that may hatch to increase protein. Maybe i am mistaken in my understanding of game bird.

    I'm really not trying to raise them. A mama chick forgot two of her babies.. (She's obviously a bad mom). The other bigger chicks were pecking at the baby chicks. I had no choice but to bring them inside my apartment. There's a lot cats and bad kids that loves hitting the animals with sticks. I shudder to think what they would do to two helpless chirping like crazy baby chicks. I intend on sitting outside and waiting for mama chick to come so I can release her babies. I do wonder if she realize two of her kids are missing?

    I thought you guys would get a total understanding out of this so my brother and I have baby chicks we’ve been raising them now often on for several years he got in a shipment and got some baby Guinne so anyways one day he was at work and he works for the Massachusetts water resource authority and he was at work and the power went out in his greenhouse so he asked me to go over and flip a switch and I did and being in the learning process I said to him a couple of chicks got out well he was on the phone long story short he said oh no the baby Ginnys and someone overheard him say that on his phone at work and he got called into the supervisors office and he got suspended for three days because he used a racist statement We laugh at what bullshit it was when we were trying to educate them that we’re farming and that’s what they are called and they would not have it at all but I thought you guys might get a kick out of that so when he said the type of chicks I immediately thought I had to tell y’all this
