That feeder looks nice!

I'm wondering if maybe the front and sides of where the feed dispenses is "deep" enough. I'm afraid they'll spill alot of feed out of it...I made one similar to this style and had that problem. I ended up having to make it taller so they couldn't drag so much out of it. Also when they would reach in under the lip to get the feed, it would gush out causing it to overflow (probably not explaining it right) then they would just flick it out by flicking backwards with their beaks. Just a suggestion

Mine is getting a plastic mesh stapled over it so they can't bill it out or get their toes in there to scratch it out. It is 1" squares, I got it by the chicken wire at Lowe's, it's pretty inexpensive and I can use it for a number of other purposes. It seems to be sturdy enough that the chickens will have a hard time breaking through it, and if they do, it's easy enough to put on another piece.

Today, while I'm at work, the plumbers are coming to finish their part of this project. When I get home there will be a sink with running water and heat

Progress, progress, progress... we are almost done
