Really nice!!Haven't made it through the whole thread yet so this may be a repeat: A simple modification I made to a grow out cage I built for the 4 week old dorkings I had some drawer guides left over from a kitchen remodel job I did so I added it to the top to make a sliding access door. I don't have to have over-head clearance and can place containers on top while I add food and water.
I am going to use this feeder Idea. Zero waste! I'm all about that!These are not inventions but they have worked so well for us. Here is our "L" shaped pvc feeder. It is made from 4" pipe. We didn't glue the fittings in. It is sturdy enough without the glue and then I clean it if necessary. I get zero waste feed (except that there's a mouse living in my coop with the chickens!).I have a screen door we made out of hardware cloth that we attached the feeder to with "garage organization" hooks (the ones for the pegboards, I think).
We also did the 5 gallon pail thing with the screw in chicken nipples. I put a chicken killing cone on top to keep them from roosting on it, ha ha!
You probably already know this but .... For what its worth Guineas and Turkeys need Game bird starter because they grow very fast. Game bird starter is higher in protien than chick starter. Guineas also can fly within about two weeks.My kids were given day old chickens, guineas, and 4 turkeys. I had to scramble to make brooders on a budget. I am a new new newbie. Learning on the fly. Lol

I used plastic tubs, chicken wire, and zip ties.

There is a thread called "Harbor Freight tools that don't suck" on the tractorbynet forums.
