    My Pvc Chicken Coop Project

    The enclosed run i built was above a chain link fence with a portion of the fence buried. The electrical conduit (UV resistant) is attached to the top rail by splitting a tee fitting, heating it to form on the top rail and clamping it until it was cool. The cover is just chicken wire because i...

    Make your own - No waste - 5 gallon (25# feed) bucket feeder for about $3

    I built two. One inside, one outside. I do not have any rosters but my barred rocks love these feeders. I love these feeders because they pay for themselves with no wasted feed.
