    DIY Bucket feeder spills, help!

    This is a picture of the coop, before we built the run. The bottom is where the food was and there is hardware cloth all the way around except for one small opening where the chickens go through. The birds have no fear of going under the coop for feed.

    DIY Bucket feeder spills, help!

    The old feeder was pretty sheltered, but they can get through the fencing I have. Wondering if I should move the feeder into the coop. Is that a bad thing to do?

    DIY Bucket feeder spills, help!

    Normally I don't mind them spilling and like you add I it back to the bucket. Right now I'm more concerned about all the wild birds coming to eat and hang around the run. I've been told they can expose them to potentially dangerous diseases. I'm hoping if there is less spilled mess they will...

    spillage and wild birds

    My chickens were spilling a lot of food and once the winter came we started getting a ton of wild birds. I made a bucket feeder with 3 inch 90 degree pvc elbows to reduce the feed on the ground. It's been in the run for a few weeks and I'm worried that some of them cannot reach the feed. It...

    DIY Bucket feeder spills, help!

    I made a bucket like this with 3 inch 90 degree elbow that I got from home depot. The chickens have had it in there for a couple of weeks and I don't see them using it very much. I am worried that some of them cannot reach the feed. What lengths do people use?

    Rehoming Concerns

    I spoke with someone else today. He sounds like a nice option. He does have a few other cockerels already. He said he would place him nearby where they could all see each other for a few days and then integrate him. Does this sound okay? I'm getting desperate as I don't want one of my...

    Rehoming Concerns

    One guy was going to take him tonight but he sounded very sketchy and I backed out. Pretty sure he was going to eat him.

    Rehoming Concerns

    I hadn't thought of selling him as a breeding pair. He hasn't actually started breeding yet. In fact he's terrified of most of my other hens (with the exception of the girls he has been with from the beginning in the brooder). We all laugh at how he gets pushed around by the girls. He's...

    Rehoming Concerns

    He is black laced wyandotte. I don't know anything about 4H but maybe I can find out. I am in Baltimore City and posted on BYC also. Here is a pic of him. He's a sweet boy and I hate doing this to him!! Unfortunately we live in the city where we are not allowed to have roosters and he's...

    Rehoming Concerns

    I have a rooster (was sold as female) that I need to rehome. I have had a lot of difficulty finding a "good" home for him. I've asked people to send me pictures of the coop/run so that I can be sure he will be cared for. I've posted to craigslist and many people have flaked on me. Do I need...
