Fermented feed feeder

[JulesChicks]

Hi Henn, love the new avatar! It looks like this is a new feed container from what you started with. Can you post a picture of the whole thing? Love the airlock addition. That should help with the pressure situation.

Nope it's the same....

Ok need a rethink here.... The birds keep jumping on the feeder and pushing the fermentation lock into the bucket... Silicone or something... I think I'd like to rebuild all of them, two ports a feeder and fermentation locks on all.... I just need some square buckets...

Or a funnel turned upside down over the locks or a traffic cone....you get the idea. Not sure if that will work or not for you.

I get it! Thanks

Even a jar or little bucket to protect the F lock.

Lol "F lock"

I made one of these last weekend. I made a smaller scaled down version with a 2 gallon bucket and a 2 inch elbow since my chickens are still little. Once i got the feed wet enough, it seems to be working well, and they love the fermented feed.

Neat
I'm in need of some repairs on mine. I'll need to skim through the thread for all the great ideas I've likely forgotten now

Oh and I'd like to see some pics @Vian
If you don't mind

I didn't take pics, but here's a video of it.
