Feeder built by my husband who doesn't like my chickens LOL

Yeah - my son is 17 and didn't want his friends to know we had chickens but he lately has been spending time with the chickens and we experienced a fox attack and he was very concerned about "our" chickens. I have also discovered that lately he has friends with chickens and they discuss them and at his last scout camp out he took a dozen eggs leaving me with not a one...We get 3-4 eggs a day so it was not tragic but he was very proud to share our bounty with the boys in his troop and even explaining why the yolks are dark and orange because they are better fed than "store bought" eggs......
Yes, I do think my hubby and son are becoming chicken friendly - Oh Andy, my husband built me a grit holder yesterday Same design as the feed holder. Yeah think he A) likes me, B) likes my chickens and C) likes to build stuff

That's so awesome about your son. I have a 19 y/o son with severe medical issues. Many Dr's and surgeries.Yesterday we were discussing the new babies coming, he gets out his sketch book and is now in the midst of designing a tractor.
My point being that everyone can enjoy this family project. Even though Keith teases me about "chicken Dinner" I know he enjoys the process and learning new things.

That is a very clever feeder, and I may take a look at building a version of that myself. In a small coop and run you could easily feed from outside, and every square foot of saved space counts. Using plastic pipe is inspired!

Two thumbs up!

I have been impressed by so many cool ideas for feeders and waterers that I plan on making several of each from varied styles, such as 5 gallon buckets, PVC pipes, wooden hoppers and even Pringle's cans (for a brooder). I want to see what will do best functionally. I really want the PVC pipe to work the best so I can save floor space in the tractor. The bucket would be good outside.

So many great possibilities...so little time
