I only have 2 here but they both know to go to their own bucket and they each have their own spot to get their hay and they have to wait politely until I put it down for them. I imagine it's a lot easier when there are just 2. . I feed them on opposite sides of the run in so they don't wany to leave their food unprotected to go see what the other may have. Luckily Doppa is the slower eater and the dominant one when it comes to food so nobody is finishing and then stealing the other's food. Janice does have a good point about having sitters coming in - the fewer gates they have to open, the less chance there is of them forgetting to close them. -- Laree in NC Doppa & Mura Simon, Sadie and Sam (the "S" gang) "When you're young and you fall off a horse, you may break something.
