We just pour one into another as we refill, if you were to keep adding food without pouring it out routinely, things would get gross.

It did take them a while to figure out there was food in there, then they were fine. We’ve never had issues with the physics of the food itself, but our chickens definitely prefer pellets to crumbs.

Hi folks! I wrote this 'ible 11 years ago, and after a decade of practice and an appearance on Halloween Wars, I wrote a whole book on pumpkin skulls, and 3D pumpkin carving in general. More info here: https://mikecraghead.com/card.cfm?id=65&full=1&pag...Cheers!

We always pour it into another one when it gets low, so the stuff at the bottom never sits for too long.

Ive often been surprised at how resourceful the birds are, stretching to reach higher than you think they will. I’d say give it a try. And if it’s too tall for your bantams, either whittle the Y so it’s shorter, or cut a hole out of a 2”x8” and sink the feeder into it. That has the added bonus of making it free standing. You could even create “stairs” by stacking two thick boards of differing sizes.Hope that helps. Good luck!Mike

Wait... you SAVED time on instructables? ;) Glad I could help. Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words, darrenh!

Thank you, Seamster!
