wildfowler.250 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Do you only scatter grain in the pens? I noticed water drinkers but didn't see any feeders. Any reason for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yds Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Do you only scatter grain in the pens? I noticed water drinkers but didn't see any feeders. Any reason for this? these birds are hand fed (daily) only trained onto a whistle. so no feeders are used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought people just used the whistle when they topped up feeders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a lot more effort! Sometimes managing once a day is hassle enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
