Best Hoppers for Young Chicks Use Cup Flats and Diy Troughs
J O Taylor of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station advises cup flats as efficient first week chick hoppers to reduce mash waste. Alternate sides daily to prolong durability. one flat yields about 1 hopper per 100 chicks. After one week, open box hoppers with a 6x24 inch trough and a diameter steel roller can feed 100 chicks, with commercial hoppers available at moderate cost. Water fountains should be easy to clean with earthenware bells for the first ten days, shifting to large metal fountains at four weeks.
