hey! that looks just perfect for my hens, they seem to like flicking the feed out onto the floor with their beak to make sure they get all the best grain! (fussy) very frustrating and expensive.

You won't regret it, virtually no waste at all...

FYI I used a hole saw to cut the holes...

I also use a feeder like this.

Highly recommend it.

I'd seen a lot of the bucket style, but like this design even better - the added space for more holes is great!

That is the reason I went this way, I have a large flock of birds and wanted a single feeder... That tub\ holds 100# of feed, so I only need to fill it every two weeks or so... So far there appears to be plenty of feed ports to satisfy the number of birds using it as I have never seen them fight over it expect when it might inadvertently get empty and I refill it...
