feeder for oyster shell

[tori8780]

What do you keep your oyster shell/crushed eggshell in for your flock? I'm not sure if I should buy another smaller feeder or if there is something better out there. Thanks!

I'm not much of a believeer in buying stuff when I can improvise for free. Mine is in an old metal cat food bowl which is screwed to a scrap of wood so they can't stand on / in it and spill it.

I'm even cheaper andd just throw it on the ground in the run.

I use one of those clay planter pots from the dollar store. It only cost a dollar and it is heavy enough not to get knocked over. I put it under the coop to stay dry and because other animals won't eat it I don't have to worry about it being left out.

I use an 8 inch cinder block. Just sit it on the ground and fill the two holes.

small recycled water bottles - crushed egg shell, oyster shell and grit



I've since enlarged the hole at the top, but you get the idea

Genius, I like it

I'd be a little concerned of the concrete chemicals leeching/absorbed into the feed though

I use a rectangular mud pan (free after rebate) screwed to the wall.

Bought one of these from tractor supply in the rabbit section. Drilled a hole and put it on.
