Hi Stephanie!!

Thank you! [URL]http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/ashamed005.gif[/URL] It's been a lot of work... It's still not done yet, but at least it's functional!
If y'all are ever in the neighborhood, let us know... we'll give you the grand tour! Charlie (Crackers) was the first BYCer to take the tour... I think he had more fun playing with the silkies!

Thanks Tori, we will definitly take you up on that! I really love your coop. Question, is the food set up the same way like an automatic feeder,

it kinda looked like it in one of the pics with the black pvc pipe? If so that is soooo cool, talk about making things easy. You smart cookies you and your DH!

There is no dumb questions

Stephanie... yes, it's 2" PVC pipe with a 3->2" reducer at the top like a funnel. We used a 90° elbow... use a 45° elbow... it will flow better. The bottom section is just capped off, and 2" holes drilled into it so the birds can peck out the food. I pour it in the top, it gravity feeds to the bottom and out.

That's sounds so smart, thanks for the info!

May I ask you where you got the auto cup waterers? I cant find any of them anywhere, and I love your coop. Your water setup is totally awesome!

Cutler's Supply... they had the best price overall, and I got them shipped REALLY quick.

Best thing we ever did!

I am looking at their site I am pretty sure if you order 1 you get 5? I am kind of confused. How many quanity did you have to order to get how many you wanted? The way I am reading it it, I think it meens order 1 and you get 5 cups?

 

[Mrs MIA]

There's 5 cups in one box, so for $12 you get 5 cups. I bought 2 cups, and have 2 extras.

Sorry not to have gotten back to you sooner... we just finished 6 hours of processing Cornish crosses...

 

[CHICKENHEAD]

WOW how did you processing go? I want to see pics
