Mud, mud and more mud. So how do you keep your poultry food dry? For the chickens I have galvanised feeders with the overhung top & the pellets in those are still getting wet (which then blocks up the whole thing). I've also got some bowls under little field shelters and the rain is blowing sideways enough that that's getting wet too. For the ducks and geese, I've tried leaving the bowls inside their houses but they never go back inside during the day and haven't realised that's where their food is. I'm ending up pouring gallons of brown mix away - a delightful blend of soggy pellets, rain and mud. I've tried just feeding them less so they eat it quicker but I think they're ending up ravenous. The only food that can cope is the mixed grain - fine in water and the ducks and geese like dabbling for it. But not exactly balanced day in, day out.
What's the answer?
