I had one of these years ago and absolutely loved it!!
There was simply no waste and I don't know if it was the fact that it was a couple feet off the the ground the hens did not peck at each other while feeding. Just not willing to pay the asking price here.

When I had to move from old place I gave it to the person who bought all my chickens, still kicking myself for not keeping it or at least selling it, Oh well, live and learn.

You could build that in an hour with some scrap lumber a a little fence wire

Looks like a great feeder.

I need to build something like that. What about reain? I keep my feeder in the house with them.

I SO agree. I got my first one at a farm auction 20 years ago. Ended up selling it when we moved and no more chickens for awhile. This past year I found one in great shape at a local livestock auction for $25.00.

Saw another one last week, but it wasn't in the best shape, definitely well-used. You can build them.

I like those feeders! My hubby wants to build a PVC one but those look like it might be better.

They are great, especially for a larger flock. We've got several that are about eight feet long that sit high up like that. Part of the family's 400 acres here used to be a chicken farm and we have tons of equipment left over from it. We aren't quite that large scale, though. Ours have the offset rollers on the top which make it impossible for a bird to roost on it or even maintain their balance.

a strong pvc feeder somewhat simular to that one would work well....easy to clean as well...I made some rabbit waters out of pvc.
