I made the bucket feeder and it works great for pellets, but now that they're laying we switched over to a layer mash since it's cheapest at $11.75/50. The next cheapest option is crumble or pellets at around $15/50lb around me, so I'd prefer to stay with mash if I can help it since the girls seem to like it.
The mash creates kind of a funnel, and unless you agitate it every couple hours, it cakes up and won't fall down into the pvc properly. Is there a modification like a baffle or something somebody has tried if you've experienced the same problem, or am I better off just getting something like one of the tractor supply hanging feeders with the tray style so it all can fall down? Worst case scenerio I can grab pellets, but would prefer to find a solution since even within 2-3 months the cost of just buying a new feeder pays for itself.
