Make your own - No waste - 5 gallon (25# feed) bucket feeder for about $3

I think thar feeder could work for fermented food...
He said pellets on the first page.

I really believe it will not. I keep my fermented feed really thick like oatmeal. It's not gonna slip under the little gap. But I want one for when I can't be available to do the fermented feed. Storms or weekends away.

I use crumbles in mine.

I had made 2 of these, but noticed they usually ate out of only one. Now while one is in use, I have the other one rinsed out and drying until I need to put new food back into the coop. This way I always have a clean feeder to use.

This feeder and the horizontal nipple waterer are just great!

Yea!!! I've got a fellow coming tomorrow to build me a coop. 12' x 12' made out of 4' x 12' pallets. It'll be an A frame wit 6' in the middle and 4' on the sides. He's going to drill me some holes and put my horizontal nipple in 2 five gallon containers. So incredibly excited. It's nice to find someone that actually wants to work and does it without an arm and a leg.

A little dust on the ground....but not much.

You can see the duct taped on extentions in the close-up

Okay, well it's a good experiment to see if it will work. I'd love for it to. Let us know.

I will. Getting supplies today we'll see how it goes worst case I'll have a dry food feeder.

you will have to post a picture....sounds like it looks like my coop!

The lid goes on flush-that was a cut error

Nice modification is that for the geese?

@seminolewind does that bucket say Homer? cool.

Did you set it up with only one hole/pipe opening?
