We got some of the metal ones on CL. They are awesome! Cumbersome, but awesome still

Sorry about taking so long to reply but I just came across your post. Here's a link to a gallery of step-by-step photos of the way I build my tractors. It's not a 100% complete photo set, but the best I can offer at the moment. https://picasaweb.google.com/106401293287329474683/TractorBuild?authkey=Gv1sRgCM3A-YXT7rOvfQ The feed in the cans are simply whole grains: Corn, wheat, oats, and milo (sorghum). They were a part of my daughter's science fair experiment.I have these same waterers but I didn't know that I could hang them. This would solve the problem of constantly leveling my waterers. Could you show some more pictures of the hoop houses you built? This seems like a great way to make a chicken run.For those of you who are using cattle panel hoophouses this is how I hang my waterers and feeders. This is both the top and bottom hook for the feeders. For the waterers this is what I use at the bottom of the chain. Also for the cattle panel hoop houses this is how I tie the board framing to the panels. I use fourteen gauge galvanized electric fence wire for this purpose. No-tip frames for holding #10 cans, rubber bowls, etc for use as feeders or waterers.
Here is today's brooder feeder. I have some small ones already, but one is really messy, and the other is quite big. I need all the space I can get with a bigger hatch expected, so I made this little ones. I had the pipe, wood and screws, and was about $1.48 for each cap.
No glue, so the position is adjustable.
Chick position for little ones
More upright for the piggy sized chicks
Two self tapper screws holding the feet on.
Thanks Deb, was a cheap easy fix to a space problem. The PVC is 2" with a 1" hole. I may need to screw it to a ply base when the chicks get bigger, just depends if they tip it over climbing on it..
