DIY Bucket Feeders: Hole Size Can Be Dangerous

[KatsChicks2015]

I made a bucket feeder and just wanted to share my experience. Be sure you make the holes either big enough for your chickens heads or too small for them to put their heads inside.

One of my girls got her head stuck. Luckily I got home in time.

I stupidly never thought how important the hole sizes were. Sharing to prevent someone experience sane thing.

Thanks

My 2 homemade feeders have 3 inch pic elbow as the feeding hole. Works geat!

Can't find way to edit this new, updated version....I used PVC elbow. (Hate these automated changes to what I type).
