Do you face them all the same direction or go back and forth every other one?
went out there today and they did not seem to agitated. made up a new feed ratio :25 lbs of sugar to 4 gal of water. i think my old feed was to weak. i did notice as i was filling the feeders that the sugar was not 100% dissolved! (water was warm not hot when mixing) spent some more time mixing and it seemed OK.. if it settles to the bottom of the feeder you think it will be fine? took your advice and added support boards on the 2x8"s see pic..Uploaded with ImageShack.us
