Wall mounted feeder, made it myself

[renegade_hens]

I have been looking for an inexpensive hopper style feeder but couldn't find one that didn't cost an arm and leg so I built one. It's 17 1/2" wide by 24" long, not sure how much feed it will hold since I just finished it. Now we'll see how well it works!

Wow that is nice!!

This looks great! Only concern I see is will they try to fly on top and poop?

It looks fabulous!

Looks good. Got plans to do the same thing myself. Only mine is gonna be mounted on some old computer rack rails attached to the legs of my raised coop. That way I can just slide it out to fill.

I like it. I was thinking about doing the same thing but I don't have the tools to do it. Maybe I'll need to go buy some now. lol

this feeder is only 5" deep at the top and will be wall mounted inside the hen house so I don't think my girls will use it as a perch since they free range during the day. the only difficult part in making this feeder was the angle cut for the side pieces which my husband cut for me. the materials cost about $15

I do not see a way to restrictl the outflow of feed so that it is below the rim of the trough.
If that is the case I would expect the chickens to waste feed about as fast as you can pour it in the top.

Nice! This is something I want to have my husband help me make.
