Hi,
Our girls will be 4 weeks old Monday and I am in the process of building an automatic feeder, that I can load and maintain from outside the coop. I am building something similar to this:
I am going to make the horizontal tube about twice as long to accommodate our 12 chicks. Since the vertical feed holding tube will be mounted outside and I will be cutting through the side wall, I want to make sure I have the right height, since when it is installed, it ain't goin' nowhere.
Oh....I almost forgot, I have water nipples on order and will be making an auto watering system as well. Again, mounted permanently through the wall.........Height suggestions for these two items is GREATLY Appreciated!
TIA
