Before this one was moved to the run.This idea intrigues me. If it isn’t too much trouble, do you have a photo of what those pvc feeders look like, please?
This idea intrigues me. If it isn’t too much trouble, do you have a photo of what those pvc feeders look like, please?I feed crumble out of troughs I made from 4" PVC pipe. I suspend them from the ceiling of my run so they are just over chest high. That prevents them from billing it out.
I like this. I can solve my immediate problem with what 3B suggested. But this could work well for feeding mash, too. Time to grab a measuring tape and sketch some plans. Thanks for the idea!Before this one was moved to the run.
It is 6' long. I have a second one that is 4' long.
The birds eat from both sides so a lot can fit at the breakfast bar at once.
I have a round gravity feeder suited for 25 birds
I use this 15 lb Galvanized feeder hanging from the ceiling.the crumble doesn’t go through it well enough to keep the bin full.
Following because I have the same feeder and challenges with crumble.I have a round gravity feeder suited for 25 birds (according to the advertising propaganda). It has three legs that raise it 2-3 inches off the ground. And the crumble doesn’t go through it well enough to keep the bin full.
I was out three times today and had to shake feed down to get where the featherheads could reach it. It wasn’t obvious when they were smaller as they didn’t eat as much. It wasn’t obvious before now because they’ve been able to graze their yard and seem to prefer that.
But two days of bad weather keeping everyone inside is what caused me to realize it. So! Long story short (too late!), what are better options than this doo-hickey for feeding crumble?
