I would like to see that internal flap mechanism. I've been trying to figure out a way to stop the flow on mine, if needed, and so far, nada! My feeder will hold 300lbs, but like you said, I only fill it with one 50lb sack at a time. I made mine out of an old automatic deer feeder (the motor had burn up.)

Do you have any side openings on ur feeder , heres a walkthrough on my flap , i installed a piece of wood the same dimensions of the internal part of the box and fastened it to the inside of the box with a low profile hinge , i then put an eye hook on the other side of the flap i fastened a piece of metal rope on the eye hook and ran it up the box through a channel i cut for it that comes up the box and out the top , and another eye hook on the outside of the box , if i want to stop the feed i pull the rope it raises the flap and seals the food between the lid and the flap its almost air tight. And for a previous post i put a roof on top of the feeder that protects it from water

Oh, I understand. That won't work on mine, unfortunately, I will have to figure something else out. I need a valve of some sort on the pvc pipe ......hummmmm

 

[evil2686]

Use a shut off valve

Dad's trying for closer and I know he'd rather get one free. I just hope we don't end up with another crazy roo like the one we sold last year. He was good at his job, he was just too mean.

Well, I received some eggs through the USPS today and it looks like someone had a really good time with them. I was surprised to only find one cracked. I figured when I opened it I would find just a gooey mess.

Wow! It did take a beating. Are the air sacs still in place?

Are you thinking of getting it for freezer camp?

I can't tell if the air sacs are in place or not? Can you normally tell with brown eggs? Willing to take any suggestions.
