Go here for that...ands here's some more!

Thanks, I have many idea now!

Awesome.

I may have to give that a try!

Thanks. They have been popular with family and friends.

I make these out of feed bags.

I like that - you could probably make a batch to sell at a local fair and do well you know..

Thanks. I just realized I meant to post this in that "what do you do with your feed sacks" thread.

I just read through 1/2 of this thread and am AMAZED at all the AWESOME ideas! My question is this: Would anyone like to volunteer to come over and help me build some of these things!!! Just kidding~well, not really~lol.

They really are amazing creations!

I have never before done anything that you could even remotely call "woodworking" but I just finished a little duplex nesting box out of some scrap wood. My first project. I discovered I enjoy using the tools! I didn't take any pictures while under construction, but here is the finished product:





The front board comes out for easy cleaning.


View from the outside the coop through the north window.

Ms. Mud making her own adjustments.

I also made this roof to (try) to keep the rain out of the food. It doesn't work very well when it blows, so I might try adding some solid sides. (and maybe more slippery linoleum for the roof! ) It got well initiated!



I am truly an amateur, but I had fun!

I like it. Your feeder just needs sides and maybe a bit of coverage on the front, and you're golden.

coffeekittie: Thank you! I think I may try to put those sides on this week! About the front - should I make the top longer or put a shield on? Am going to work on some poop boards in the coop today!

It was on this thread that I saw about the grass frames for the chickens so that they can eat greens without digging up the grass. Just when I was calculating what I needed to make the frames, I saw some old screen frames for sale very cheap. So, I got them and my granddaughter and I took off the screens and put in hardware cloth and put them in the yard and threw in some grass seed. So here it is.

I love them, I have some spare materials laying about. Might make that for my next project down there.
