My Homemade Feeder Background: After my husband and his friend built our beautiful tractor-style coop and run, my hubby must have run out of steam because he just kept forgetting about building a feeder. I was getting tired of using my regular birdfeeder as a chicken feeder, so I finally...

How To Make A $15 Heavy-duty Feeds-All-Week Stovepipe Feeder Keeping chickens in a tractor is great. The puppy can't molest them. The neighborhood coyotes can't get them. Even the local raccoons have left them alone so far. The downside is, every time I move the tractor, and that's at...

Submitted by John Riddell. A chicken can open it herself by stepping on the platform. "When she stands on the platform the door opens. It means pests can't get to the food, so less wastage. She took about three weeks to learn to use it."

HomeMade Chicken Feeder When I first built my coop I threw together a heap of junk and made a super ugly but incredibly functional - space saving chicken feeder. You can see it (in all it's hideous glory) here: FrankenFeeder! The feeder functioned great for a few years, but it got to the...

Building a Treadle Feeder I like wild birds. I used to feed them on purpose, but now that I have chickens the wild birds have become a cost and potential risk. The wild birds were eating more of my chicken feed than were the chickens. I dealt with the doves with a shade cloth curtain over the...
