Look what I did during naptime today!

great job!

Wished i could feed my flocks with that kind of feeder,but i have to many birds

 

Nap time's are great! I have a 14 month old boy, and his nap time is when I've been building a new coop! I think I can have it finished by spring! I'll have to build a feeder like trhat for it,,,or maybe a couple.

 

thats great. How much feed can you put in there?

 

I was thinking of building or buying a hopper-type feeder. I want something that's thin but wide and can hold a 40 lb. bag of food. My goals may be too lofty.

 

You will need to make the front higher or you will have most of your feed on the floor. I know from experiance. It must be higher then the opening for the chute.

 

Good job!!

 

Great job! I felt the need to to this one day as well and I ended up just short of successful and I think you may as well. Your front panel may have to extend further down to staunch the flow (if you will) of feed that will come down. You really only will want a very small opening, otherwise lots of feed will pour out. I figured this out after pouring 50lbs of feed in

 

Good Job!
Looks good, I must agree with krcote. After 'sitting a few chooks, and using a continuous refill feeder, we successfully finished 70lb in one go..
