galvanized tin for a feeder.

[abhaya]

I have a bunch of old roofing tin no rust on one side. Could I paint the rusty side and use the good side for the inside of a feeder? I need a bigger feeder for my coop. The rest free range so they dont eat that much but the ones in the coop need a larger feeder.

Sure. All of my tube feeders are made of galvanized metal.

A really easy way to make a feeder is a 5 gallon bucket (with a lid)

1. Drill or cut holes in the sides at the bottom around the whole bucket about 2 inches or so long and 1inch high.

2. Find a pan or like a old skillet or I have a new oil pan without a top. Then set it in the pan and fill it up!

It cost me $2 to make this and about 5 minutes of my time!
