They work very well!  Go to the Coops tab and check out all the homemade feeders and water-ers on there.

BYC has some VERY creative folks who are pros at using whatever is handy to get the job done.

Yes! I have a wooden homemade feeder designed by a member of BYC(KDK1) and it's awesome!

Outside my coop. Holds 100#'s of feed

The tray inside. Hubby made a detachable top for easy cleaning. Sorry, I don't have a pic of it.

I use shelving over the feeder to stop poop from falling in. My winter photo, I take the heater out in the summer.

If they work and you're happy with them then they are just fine.
