This BYC contest is brought to you by our sponsors.
Please visit them and thank them for their support of BYC


We know there are a TON of great threads on homemade brooders, waterers, feeders, incubators etc on BYC. Now we would like to see your best money and time saving inventions! We would like to show us your best homemade invention and how you did it and if we really like it, you could be a winner!

Contest Details:

This is a contest to see who can create the "best" waterer / feeder / incubator / brooder for BYC. Put together a page with step by step instructions explaining how you put together your invention. Include as many pics as possible. Remember a pic is worth a 1,000 words! (And you'll get bonus points for extra pics!

  1. A write up of how you built your waterer / feeder / incubator / brooder along with any information you think would be helpful to other people who may want to build a similar units.
  2. Any designs / plans you used to build your waterer / feeder / incubator / brooder.
  3. Pictures of your waterer / feeder / brooder / incubator as it was being constructed.

If you want your page to win, make sure it has as many of the elements above in as much detail as possible! Here are some additional hints to help you win the contest:

  1. Follow the format of some of the existing waterer/feeder/incubator/brooder pages.
  2. The more details and pictures the better!
  3. Pictures - We all love lots of pictures!

ALL pictures MUST be uploaded to BYC

If you have questions about the contest reply to this thread.

We expect to add all of the pages submitted to the new homemade chicken waterer / feeder / brooder / incubator section but the best will win the contest.

TO ENTER THE CONTEST:

1) Create a cool page
2) Reply to this thread with a link to your waterer / feeder page on BYC!
3) Have Fun!


NOTES:

If you're one of those modest types and want to add your waterer / feeder / brooder / incubator to the site but don't want to enter the contest, that is fine. Please still add a link to your page in this thread... the more designs the better the community will be!

We want all types of waterers / feeders / brooders / incubators. Small, big, simple, complex, wood, plastic, glass etc. Everyone has different budgets, time, and use cases, so we want to capture them all!

If you can't / aren't inclined to create a page but have lots of good pictures and a write up of your design, please email them to [email protected] and we can build a page for you.

There is NO set end date for this contest. It will be determined by how many and how quickly we receive submissions.

If we get a lot of submissions there may even be prizes for 2nd and 3rd place! So get building!!!!

Hi. I think those links to the DIY pages are very useful. I have a hard time finding them even through the BYC search feature. It would be nice if there was a DIY tab on the top. I'm building everything as I get more experience and more annoyed at the daily maintenance of chickens. but i've been using google to find DIY pages and they end up pointing the the BYC pages.
