Choosing a feeder
Pick a feeder that will provide enough feed for the birds between coop trips.
If you have a few birds or check them often, use a smaller feeder. As bird size and/or flock size increases, so should feeder capacity.
For waterfowl use a feeder with a wide base that fits their bills.
See feeder comparison chart on p. 26.

Grit & Shell Station
Absolutely love this! Between the ducks and chickens they wasted so much of their grit and crushed shells. This has stopped that completely. Love that it has a divider so I can place both grit and shells in it.
