We have a feeder setup with just wheat in a large storage box with pvc pipe for them to access it.
And another feeder with layer mix that they just peck all the good stuff out of.
I have started fermenting their layer mix and mixing with some bread to absorb the liquid. To start with they weren't really interested but now they love it.
So my problem is now trying to limit the waste of the food.
The feeders just end up having grain spilt on the ground all the time and currently I'm just putting the fermented mix on the ground. What do people use to place the fermented grain? Ideally something, easy to use, I don't have to keep cleaning every day and that spreads it out so they can all eat at the same time.
I was thinking cutting a piece of pipe in half as a trough. Open to ideas that are better than this.
As for the other feeders in not sure as they were designed not to spill
