In the summer i feed mostly wet/fermented feed which can't go in standard feeders. Theres still some layer pellets in the hanging feeders most of the time but the wet feed goes in planter trays, old cake pans, and dog dishes. We are not ashamed of our cracker ways around here.
excellent ..!!!
, I do the same feeding fermented feed, its great & lowered my feed bill by half,
plus I use what ever works, I keep some layer pellets in the hanging feeders most of the time, but the wet food helps to keep my flock hydrated so the wet food is best in AZ summers! but im always recycling things, old cast iron pans are great because they don't get turned over so easy 
....lol... old fry pans, dog dishes or what ever will hold up in the long run, so if I find them they are in my recycling program..!!
