feeding my girls

[john3955]

I've tried almost every feeder out there to reduce my feed loss. I've tried the pvc tubes, the step on feeder. Does anyone have one they would like to share?

How is the feed being lost/wasted? Are they tossing it out with their heads, scratching it out with their feet or? Understanding the cause is helpful in finding the fix. That being said, the DIY bucket "no waste" feeders are fabulous. If you search here on the site or even the general web you'll find tons of how-tos, etc

I am sure you can find the plans somewhere for the one I use. It is a 5 gallon plastic bucket with 2 inch holes drilled around the outside near the bottom seated in an oil change pan so that there is about 1 - 2 inches of space between the bucket and the edge of the oil pan. This prevents them from knocking the food out when they bob up and down eating. They have to eat from the side, so that the food falls back into the eating space.
