New feeding station, what do you think?

[AnnieSantiago]

I love this idea!

I made the exact feeder this week.
It took me some time and $$ to figure out which "elbow fitting" to buy and I had to go to a plumbing shop.
The danged thing was nearly $10 but it's worth it.
I hadn't thought of making two more for grit and oyster shell, but now I will!
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the big bottles.
Unfortunately, there's no room for those in my coop, but just the tube feeders will get them through a week if I go camping.
Now I need to figure out a way to keep water in the coop.

This feeding station also increased the usable coop footprint for the birds.

Nice idea with the bottle.


I've got a similar setup, but had to add little 2" extensions to the part of the WYE the chickens stick their heads in for food...they were managing to flick a little out. May not be a problem with your birds, but keep an eye out.

Quick update in case anyone reads this.

CrazyTalk was absolutely correct.

I also added 2" extensions to keep them from flipping food out.

No issues since.
