Bucket feeder to keep mice away

[Chickenberg Goldenegg]

I made a nice simple bucket design to keep mice away with pellet feed.

I drilled three 3/4" holes in the bottom, in a triangle pattern, and stuck an eye bolt through it. I then had some small wood pieces and drilled a hole in them, putting them between the eye bolts. I screwed the eye bolt into the wood and now it's a peck to release the food system.

I screwed into three random logs for support. Easy to move and easy for the chickens to pick for food.

I have another with 1" hole for rural king pellets that are larger than the all flock mine has right now.

Cool DYI idea.

Maybe consider making it an article.

Maybe eventually, if I don't forget. Lots of stuff to do before spring.
