the edge of insanity
I am looking for pictures of homemade feeders. I have a smallish hen house and need to conserve as much space inside as possible. My dh doesn't think that it will work (this feeder). I'd appreciate some pictures proving that it does!!

Here is my space-saver feeder I came up for my small coop.

Here's my PVC waterer that doesn't take up much room also.

Mrs. Glassman :

The one shaped like a "J" is a waterer? How do you put water in without it flowing out the bottom?

Those look awesome!

YES I was wondering bout dat too/

The waterer joints are sealed, Atmosphere pressure prevents the water from running out. The cap kinda acts simular as your thumb on the top of a straw.

I was thinking that might be how it worked, I've just never seen it with large diameter pipe. I assume you take it down to fill it then?

Yes, hold it horizonal to fill. The keyhole system makes it easier to take it down than bungies, wire, etc.

I made a setup with 3 inch pipe...although 4 inch would be better....just put a float from a Air conditioner, drill some hole...it works great.
