To calculate poultry feed, you will need to know the daily feed requirements for the type and number of birds you are raising. The average bird will require about 4 ounces of feed per day. To calculate the amount of feed you need for your flock, use the following formula: Number of birds x 4 ounces of feed per day = _____ ounces of feed per day For example, if you are raising 10 birds, you will need 40 ounces of feed per day.
To calculate the amount of water in poultry, you need to know the bird's weight and use the following equation: Water (in cups) = bird's weight (in pounds) x 0.4 For example, if you have a 4-pound chicken, the equation would look like this: Water (in cups) = 4 x 0.4 Water (in cups) = 1.6 This means you would need 1.6 cups of water to hydrate your chicken.
Poultry feed can be prepared in many ways, depending on the type of poultry and the desired outcome. For example, chicken feed can be mixed with water to create a slurry, which can then be fed to the chickens using a syringe. This is a common method used to feed baby chicks. For larger birds, such as turkeys, feed can be mixed with molasses to create a sticky mixture that can be easily fed using a spoon.
One hundred broilers can consume up to twenty bags of feed in five weeks. The amount of feed will vary based on the weight and age of the bird, as well as the quality of the feed.

I've purchased these honey jars twice, and I've never had a problem. I thought I might be able to clarify some of the remarks that were made regarding the size of the jars in proportion to the weight of their contents.A container that says it holds 12 fluid ounces (FL. OZ.) can hold 16 ounces of honey. This is because the same volume of honey weighs 50% more than the same volume of water.Therefore, it is accurate to label a jar as 12 oz while also referring to it as a one pound (16 oz) honey jar.Here is a quotation I discovered online:Normally, weight rather than volume is used to sell honey. Considering that honey is heavier than water, 1 cup of water is equivalent to 8 fluid ounces while 1 cup of honey will weigh 12 ounces. Honey weights about 12 pounds each gallon.That might clear up some of the ambiguity. All things considered, these honey jars are really useful.

As a novice chicken owner, I was pleased with the coop and chicken run that I had constructed. Even so, I wasn't pleased with how much of my usual chicken feed was going to waste. My chickens would consume a substantial percentage of the usual feed, and I felt like a lot was being wasted. Then, while looking for a solution, I came across this item. I was sceptical at first, but I quickly changed my mind. The chickens can no longer knock out their food, and it took me exactly 15 minutes to show them where it was before they could find it. I was concerned that they might not be aware that there was food inside, but after placing a few food crumbs at the circular entrance and on the ground next to the bucket, they quickly learned to stick their heads inside the apertures to receive food, and within 15 minutes I was relieved. I appreciate how much food he can hold and how well he keeps it dry. Even though this container is in a covered area that I made especially to protect against rain and hold their food bin, it's still an extra layer of safety, and I appreciate that it has a lid that fits perfectly. I'm very glad I made the decision to invest the money and try this. adore it

I cannot evaluate this product personally because I am neither a bird nor a consumer. It is consumed by my chicken, who is content and always has a normal crop and feces. She roams freely on more than an acre of grass and various terrain for eight months out of the year, only occasionally consuming provided grit. She stays quite close to her coop for around four months each year because she despises our thick winter snow, though. She chooses to eat this properly sized grit every day along with her layer feed and scratch, oyster shells, sunflower seeds, and dried worms. It would be advantageous if the probiotics might aid her digestion during these chilly, sedentary months. Why not?

These are exactly what I needed to feed pellets and other crumbles to my goats, and they work great. It is really convenient to feed the goats because I attached it to the side of the fence at goat height. I was concerned about the plastic because my goats like to chew on it, but these containers are thick enough that the goats can't get through them while yet being light enough to hang from a wire fence with ease. These are excellent feeders, and I want to get more for the hens!

For my ducks, these worked out nicely. They can drink like ducks do by dipping their bills into the cup. Although they do pick up some trash from their bills, the cups are simple to clean. Compared to the chicken waterers with the narrow aperture, they function MUCH better for the ducks. I used mine to drill holes in a five gallon pail. The mounting tabs' incompatibility with supply tubes' dimensions was the only thing that caused problems. The mounting tabs therefore cannot be affixed to the side of the bucket to which the supply line is fastened. I utilized a homemade wooden stand that included a section to which the cups could be affixed. Once the engineering was completed, the cups worked fantastically. A five gallon bucket could easily accommodate six of them. It would fit and possibly operate best with eight. If you needed that many, a few hundred placed around the bottom of a plastic barrel might water a sizable flock. None of the leg bands were applied by me. I can't speak to them.TL/DR When my flock grows larger, I'll buy it again because it worked so well.

Love it, it's the best tiny coop waterer! Although there are waterers for our chickens all throughout the yard, I bought this quart mason jar base to fill with cool water inside their coop so they have access to fresh water when they leave their nesting boxes in the sweltering summer. I wasn't convinced they were utilising it at first, but I've since observed them sipping from it on multiple occasions. Since the base is relatively shallow and the chicks couldn't drown like they may in larger waterers, it would also be ideal for newborn chickens. This is such a brilliant idea, I adore it so much!

Had issues with the chickens squandering grain by swiping it onto the ground prior to utilizing these feeders. Additionally, there were issues with the number of rodents and sparrows getting into the chicken feeders. Every snake around was attracted to the well-fed rodents. I had the impression that I was feeding every rodent in the neighborhood but was only receiving a few eggs in return. even thought about chicken sales. I stopped having rats, mice, and sparrows lingering about the chicken coop after purchasing a few of these feeders, and I'm now saving money because the chickens aren't wasting feed like they used to. The only thing I'd advise is to get feed that easily flows into the cup. There is no issue following a light rain and moisture in the air. However, if there is a steady downpour, you should check the cup and remove any wet feed to prevent clogging of the grain or pellets.

It works well for the purpose I use it for, but I won't use it in the chicken coop. I hang it outside instead. It's plastic so I can put apple cider vinegar in it for the girls, and maybe most importantly, the handle has a notch for hanging, making it simple to fill and simple to attach the bottom to the bucket. I also appreciate being able to see the water level by simply looking at it. It does, however, spill easily, as some other reviews have noted. The vacuum seal seems to allow the water to reach the top, therefore I wish the lip were just a little bit higher. This implies that you will lose a lot of water if you rest it on uneven ground for even a minute (so check your surface if you do not intend to use this as a hanging waterer). It also implies that it will spill if your chickens run into it. It's simply a safer choice to retain it as the outdoor waterer during the winter to prevent humidity issues.Although you cannot put apple cider vinegar in double-walled metal waterers—which I personally prefer—having an extra one is never a bad idea. At some time, we might have to bring it inside. When that time comes, I'll put it exactly against the corner of the coop like I did with my previous fountain to prevent bumping and keep the water clean.1/22/16 Update: Almost a year later, things are still going well. I've grown to like this waterer; I don't spill nearly as often now, and I actually have two of them for the winter (when one freezes, I just bring out another). I remain a fan.

I have five aged hens and a 6-by-6-foot walk-in chicken coop. Prior to the demolition of the old, long-abandoned packing business across the road, I only had a minor rat problem in the chicken coop. It appeared as though a huge wave of rats had suddenly crashed into my property at that moment. There were rats everywhere I looked. Rats could be seen in any direction as I went outside. They lacked modesty. Fearless! My dog, one of several highly skilled rats, and my feral cats were working themselves to exhaustion. They stopped bringing me prizes to display neatly on the porch and started just leaving the bodies where they had been slaughtered before moving on to the next. (The dog poo picker doubled as a cleaner, taking care of all that every day!) I used live critter traps, wood spring traps, bucket traps, and peanut butter-baited bucket traps. They all ran nonstop, filled almost as quickly as I could drop and add more bait, and I even stomped on a few that were running close enough to my feet! The two owls, which I'd never seen before but were now putting on a nightly performance, When I went outside to check on the sheep at night, I saw the feathered ghosts slowly fly out of the shadows and then BAM! Another shrieking rat would launch itself into the night sky. ((AWESOME!)) Before, I never really had a strong dislike for anything, but as of late, I HATE rats! In the barn, they destroyed insulation, walls, cables, and even the hoses and belts on my truck. They drilled holes in the car's back seat and removed the padding. How on earth could they ever in there? They chewed open stove pellet bags, spilling several pounds of waste pellet fuel all over the place (at the top of the ton, of course). My life was a low-budget horror film.I had already locked up all of my grains, animal feeds, and waste in rat-proof cans and drums, but the chicken coop was where I really suffered from using the conventional, open chicken feeder. The tsunami of rat population has spread throughout the farm to this one persistent issue site over the previous few years despite all of our efforts to kill them off, and there they have survived and thrived.I've tried to make the coop rat-proof, but the ravenous rodent demons have already chewed through wire, wood, and even a little entryway in a cinder block to get inside! genuinely frightful After shooting a couple really large, hefty rats with my BB gun, I thought they would be heavy enough to open the step-on, pressure-plate chicken feeder and help themselves all night. I definitely would have given up on keeping chickens altogether if each of my hens hadn't been more than "simply livestock," since the stress of having rats all over and in my chicken coop was wearing on my nerves.I hardly dared to hope when I came across this PestOff feeder. I researched it thoroughly, watched the videos a few times, and thought about it for, oh, maybe 20 seconds before adding it to the basket and making the purchase. Was it a bit pricey? Yeah! Was it dangerous? Of course! But if it worked, I wouldn't have disgusting, filthy rats eating countless pounds of feed every week and urinating and pooping in my chicken feeder. I also wouldn't have rats reproducing in the floorboards and walls and producing enormous, healthy, ravenous young to keep the wheel of madness turning.I opened it up, read the instructions, put it together while thinking about the plastic pieces and springs, then I went out to the coop and used it right away. It was draped just above shoulder level. I appreciate how simple it is to fill and cover again because the top simply glides up the handle.The girls had no trouble transitioning. The following morning, I went outside to feed before work expecting the feeder to be entirely empty, as it normally was with the old one, but instead discovered that there was still more than half of the grain inside! I no longer feed twice a day; instead, I feed once in the morning, with leftovers available whenever I get home and check on everyone in the evening. Apparently not, based on how much feed I'm currently saving. I had been concerned that it was hanging too low and that the huge rats might be able to perch on their hind legs and reach up to it. I was concerned that the small feed fragments that the chickens chowed down would cause a problem, but the less dominant hens simply pick up the fragments as soon as they fall to the ground while they wait for the big bossies to finish eating. Then, they alternate between eating and cleaning up for one another. When I arrive home, they no longer run toward me as if they are SO thrilled to see me, which I kind of emotionally miss but am happy about since it indicates they are well fed and aren't waiting for me to get home for their supper and that rodents didn't take all their breakfast and lunch. I'm using roughly a third of the feed I was previously consuming.I've owned it for exactly three weeks at this point. I was going to wait longer to write a review, but I think the product has held up well enough in this period. If things go wrong, I can always make changes.:) I am overjoyed with this feeder's performance and am just hoping that it will keep working and prevent the rodent menace from obtaining even another morsel.My only concern is the longevity of the plastic components and springs, but as mine is kept indoors and out of the elements, I probably don't need to worry too much about UV rays and extremely high or low temperatures corroding the metal components. So far, I enjoy the layout, shape, and user-friendliness. I hope the springs and doors continue to function over time because a coop is a dirty environment, but it looks like it would be simple to disassemble and clean. Since the night I hung the coop up, I haven't seen a single rat within. Just that made the cost worthwhile.Overall, if not THE finest farm investment I've made this year is this one. Pennies, when you consider it from a long-term perspective, for a much more hygienic, healthier method of feeding your chickens and NOT the rodents.* ADDENDUM 2/22/18*I've been using this for a while with both crumble and pellet chicken feed, and I must admit that I prefer using the pellet chicken feed in this. Around the feed door, the crumble always seems to pile up on the inside. The Nutrena pellets merely appear to keep things more organized in the works and the girls seem happier with the small pellets, even if the mechanism still functioned with the crumble.
100 broilers will consume approximately 28 bags of feed.
Chickens require different amounts of food based on their weight and age. In general, it is recommended that you have one feeder for every 10-20 chickens. This means that for 1000 chickens, you would need at least 50 feeders.
If you have 4 chickens, you will need at least 2 feeders. Chickens eat a lot, so the more feeders you have, the better.
If you are planning on having 100 chickens, you will need at least 3 feeders. Chickens eat about 4 ounces of feed per day, so you will need a feeder that can hold at least 12 pounds of feed.
A broiler is a chicken raised specifically for meat production. Unlike other chickens, broilers are bred to have a high rate of growth and mature quickly. They typically reach slaughter weight between four and seven weeks of age. The average broiler chicken will consume about 2.5 kg of feed in its lifetime. This means that 1000 broilers will consume approximately 2500 kg of feed.
A broiler chicken will typically drink around 4 litres of water per day. This is somewhat dependent on the size and age of the chicken, as well as the temperature and humidity of their environment.
