Chicken diy feeder

The height of this feeder helps prevent spillage. Just up off the ground enough that they can't comfortably beak food out. But placement would be different...

Chickens: the gift that keep on giving.

Chicken feeders are insanely expensive...or maybe I'm just insanely cheap. $30+ for a bucket with holes in it just seemed wrong to me. I made this one from a Home Depot bucket bolted to a 16" plant saucer, for a total cost of about $8. If you look closely you can see openings around the bottom of the bucket (made using my trusty Dremel tool) for the feed to come out of. I left the handle on the bucket so I can hang the feeder if I want to.

Next time you’re at the Dollar Store, grab an appetizer dish and copy this woman’s backyard idea! A great alternative to an expensive automatic feeder, a recycled bucket and dollar store tray gets the job done.

Before leaving on a 10-day camping trip, I filled up the water dish for the chickens…and grumbled the entire time. I really wanted some kind of large reservoir…so the online research began! Here’s how I built an automatic chicken waterer.

How did you get them to start using it?

I realized yesterday that as my little chicks are getting much bigger their cage is getting too small for them. I either have to build a larger cage or separate them into two. Separating them is a quick fix but I will need a bigger cage soon so I asked Mountain Man to pick up another feeder and waterer while he was in town yesterday. Wouldn't you know it, not one store has any left! He went to five different places and they were all sold out! After I got over being upset about this I figured…
