The chicks and I are lovin' the new double decker feed & water station
You need to cut the bottom half of the rim off for the chicks to reach the feed properly. Otherwise they look great. Also as far as the round/flat surface, we just put silicone caulk around the edges. I'll post a pic so you can see what I am talking about.I wanted something to build tonight, so I got to work on this feeder.
It's a bit of a stretch for 6 week old chickens, but I was surprised at how quickly they buried their heads in there at got to work.
Problems:
Mounting a flat surface to a curved bucket
The elbows were too big so they were pushing against each other on the inside not allowing me to line them up properly.
I guess the best solution would be to get a large square bucket (I tried in a smaller square but it didn't allow for more than 1 elbow to fit)
I just built the bucket feeder and only made one hole. I see some have multiple feeding holes. Should I cut one more or leave it. I have 8 chickens if that makes a difference. Thanks.
