    what to do when it going to be 100 out

    New Bucket Feeders

    So that is why the feed is out on the floor, is that the lip isnt high enough cause I made something like that but I cut the bottom off of a 30 gallon plastic barrel and fastened it to the feed bucket and I have it hanging in the coop but they keep pulling all the feed out.
