I did some searching here but didn't find a better place to put this idea and photos. We needed to get the feeder and waterer in the run up off the ground without spending a fortune and/or a lot of time. Went to Tractor Supply and got some chain and clips. DH already had the size hooks to hold the chain on the rafters.
You can see the back hook
The clips make it easy to remove the feeder and waterer for cleaning and refilling
This is about the worst rated feeder, but it was the only one I could find. The bottom twists into "locks" to hold it on, and the main complaint was that the chickens often untwisted it and all the feed fell out. Well, a drop of super glue at each lock spot hopefully will solve that problem
It can easily be cleaned and filled from the top anyway. The lid is a plastic bowl with a slit cut across the center for the handle. The overall set up is easily adjusted up or down and it didn't require any cutting of the chain. Hope this gives someone else some good ideas!
