Outdoor feeder: keeping food dry

[igorsMistress]

Love that idea, but I'm working with ducks, so I don't think this method would work for their scooping of food.




Yeah no issues with other birds competing for the food, and I like the idea of the lid for a rain guard!

Since I'll have a 5 gal bucket at the end, maybe I'll use a garbage can lid

Thanks

Good idea!

Yeah, probably not.

We have the diy five gallon bucket and pvc elbow feeder. We've not had any issue with rain getting into the elbows, but...we are in Colorado, so may not get as much rain as other places. I did put a giant upside down funnel on top of the lid, to keep the chickens from perching on it.
