Many pages ago I posted pictures of the two that I built, and that was nearly eight months ago as I recall. I started another flock of fifteen chickens, well, actually fourteen and a rooster, in early March, they moved into the second coop that I had for the original "herd" and everything is...

I know this is an expensive idea to wrap your entire cage/run with 1/4" hardware cloth, but it will pay off in the long run. Hardware cloth is available in 4' and 6' widths, comes in rolls of various lengths, and can be cut with several tools. I don't think the rats/mice can get through it as...

This is VERY sweet. Can you show more pictures to show what goes where? I enlarged the picture but that didn't help much. Thanks in advance. Skip

And now that I have my thinking cap on, I am going to re-bend that doubled and doubled again chicken wire so that I can place it INSIDE the tube instead of outside, THAT should work. Once I get it done I'll shoot some pictures and show you what I mean. I just filled the tube today so I won't...

Well, I had thought of a cap, but as you can see in that photo, the roof just barely clears the flip top when I bring it down, I am talking millimeters. But I did the next best thing, I took some chicken wire, doubled it and then doubled it again. NOTHING is getting in there now. And I am...

Look at where you loaded the video, there will be a code that you copy and paste on the YouTube site where your video is located. Skip

Update on my pipe feeder: Everything is just fine. The 45 degree angle worked just fine, neither more nor less feed dropping than with the 90 degree turn on my original. However, there IS something that I now know I have to do. The chicken wire on the original cage, the one with the peaked...

You can also post to YouTube.com and then link THAT in your posting, if you look at my home page, on the Optic Guard page, I made my own video, PM me and I will give you better instructions. Skip

Sondacop. that's why we refer to it as "Chicken TV." And ... ahhh ... where is the video? Skip

Hee Hee, NOW can we get back to pipe feeders? Skip

Nice work Sondacop. And here is the corrected schematic in a size that can be read. Click on the picture for a larger version. In looking at this schematic, it would LOOK like a negative is being fed to both sides of the diode, however, as marked on the timer, the relay has an input of...

Temporarily, here is the corrected schematic for the solar panel control. Jamie corrected this overnight, but it is way to small to be effective, that will change when I get home from work tonight. She advised me that there was no positive connection to the L.E.D. light, and is IS hard...

And the sun is finally shining here in Golden Valley. Skip

Since I was asked for pictures and a diagram, here goes. Picture one is the solar panel, It is a 40W 12V panel I have had for many years, just now getting back to being used. Picture two is the battery I am using, as I said it was 'gifted' to me at a Sams Club when they were servicing...

OK, I'll take pictures and try to explain as well as I can. But it may be a while before I can get to it. I made the mistake of saying that it doesn't rain here in this part of Arizona, but that we get our share of "liquid sunshine," well, let me tell you, for the past two days, we have had...

Matt, I think the 'abuse' you mentioned here was more that they were trying to go around corners, or have a short piece in-between the 45 degree elbows that doesn't allow gravity to help with the flow of the feed. If you look again at mine, I think if anything, I may have TOO MUCH feed dropping...

I haven't been outside yet to check on the feeder, but I will let you know tonight how that works. Hmmm ... parts list? Well, I went on line to find 12 volt dc lights. I found some from China that were about $3 each, LED, and screwed into a regular light bulb holder, I am NOT sure of the...

OK, you asked for it, here goes. I went to Home Depot today and bought the elbows and caps I needed to add the second feeder to the original coop. I think I mentioned that wild birds have been feeding themselves with my chickens feed, here is what a feeder looks like two days after I filled...

Yeah, I have to agree. She's been a real trooper through out this whole thing. She is allergic to eggs, so she thought there would be problems with her and the chickens. She rarely goes out to the yard, she's afraid that something (anything) out there will make her have reactions, but she HAS...

I forgot to mention that I replied to both the youtube videos, I liked your waterer, and made a suggestion about yours on your site. Thanks for getting this out to every one, you are a GREAT chicken lover for doing this. Skip
