Pictures of neat coop things...and homemade feeders

Punkin Peep-Love the shipping crate onstilts for a brooder! Hmmm. I'll have to check with some of the warehouses near me and see what I can come up with. This year we used a dog kennel and kept it in the house! Won't do that again.

Thanks! It'll look a lot better when it's painted, but i'm always proud of the things my hubby can do with any ole wooden box.

Yea, those TX men are pretty special! I lived in TX for 26.5 years and gave birth to one there.

My husband made the mistake of telling me about the shipping crates they had extra at work (he's in the moving industry) and they couldn't reuse them. They were about 6x8 and had a tin roof on them already. He brought me two home!!! They're bigger then the coop I just finished building and I've already got plans for more coops! Bring on the shipping crates

And thanks to those who posted pics of the bucket feeders...just what I was looking for!

Where did you get your nipples? I have been looking for some for winter waterer

I did the same thing, but my nipples don't have cups on them. I ordered the nipples from FarmTek. They are only a buck or two each. But shipping is pricey.

WITH a tin roof!!!? Are you kidding me? It's almost worth it for me to come and see you to get one!

You know, you could start a side business selling those free crates to other chickeners.....just sayin'.

Would you have a picture of those wooden crates with tin roof?

This is my homemade self feeder. This one's double sided but I'm building 2 more that will be single sided for my other two coops.
