"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

I think I would have "accidentally" knocked HER with the broom. *cough cough* and told her that I was sorry that I didn't mean to bust her aside the head and that I was trying to hit the nest.

I seriously almost peed on myself when I read this!!! You just don't know how badly I wanted to!!

Check out the feeders on this thread! I think I'm going to have to make a few! I've been wanting to make some PVC feeders, but never found a good solution to keeping to rain from getting in. This guy has come up with a fantastic design! It can't cost more than a regular feeder, won't rust, and the chickens can't scratch their food all over the place! https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/746195/pvc-feeder/10#post_10957729 Other project on the list. The hubby is going to kill me!

How many birds will be eating from your feeder?

Too Funny !!!! My crazy self would have done it and not felt bad at all. *wink wink*. LOL I would have been like, "Oops, I am so sorry. How clumsy of me to aim and miss the nest and hit you. Are you OK? Can I get you an ice pack? Looks like your forehead is swelling something awful. (while silently laughing and saying to myself tee hee hee )

Gracie, how many lbs of feed do your birds go through on a weekly basis? How often do you have to fill up feeders? How often would you like to fill up feeders?

No more than 10 per pen.

I'd say I go through a little over 25 lbs. per week in each pen (I have 3 setup right now). My other pens 3 pens are empty, but will be full by the end of the summer. Ideally I would like to only fill up once per week, but right now its every day to every other day since I don't like to leave too much feed exposed. They either scratch it out, or the rain gets it!

Ok. Well that would be perfect for you. I wasn't sure if you had a slew of birds over there. That feeder looks very small but if you have 10 per pen, then that would work great for you. Go for it !!!!

The larger feeder that I have, I only fill up once every 2 weeks but that Big Daddy holds 400 lbs of feed. So you wouldn't want something that big. :/

What a nutcase! (the old lady of course

) People that don't have compassion for animals get no compassion from me! I would have quit too!

We have a friend who uses this type of feeder. He made them for very little cost and loves them!
