THE MINUTE everyone's chicken is finished, they each dart around to the other two bowls to make sure that their is not something more interesting there. Other than that, they will eat throughout the day from whichever bowl(s) meet their fancy, often sharing the same bowl. Luckily no food aggression at all. But, as Taylor said, toys, oh my, all bets are off...and there are frequently small piles of toys where one of the boys has started a "stash".

We feed like that. I have a tray like bowl that always has food in it but they get a little chicken in the am and pm. I started that to get Callie to eat for her medicine and it just kinda stayed that way.
