My father makes these, if anyone is going to the swap and is looking for one. I use them for my chickens and not only did it cut down on waste...by a huge amount...but even better (for me) it cut down on nasty vistors...like rats!!! We have not seen one in a few months now, I used to watch dozens go back and forth at night eating the food...they would come from my neighbors yard, so I could watch them. It would piss me off so bad! No matter how many we trapped and killed there was always a ton that came in to replace the ones that died. There are probably a few here and there, but they are certainly not anywhere near as prevalent as they used to be! Plus it is just fun to watch them use it!

How much is your Dad selling his treadle feeders for?

Also how big are they any pictures we could see. My husband was going to build one for me but never did.

I do, but we are a bit out of the way. We live on a 4 mile long dirt road. It is a bit hard to get to. Many cars can't make it without 4-wheel drive. We have to tell everyone to come up that their cars will probably get scratched, too. Right now the road is really bad and we've been having transportation problems, but it would be nice to meet up sometime.

Well, I do have 4-wheel drive, but it is a brand new pick up and I would NOT want scratches....still a bit picky about that..LOL. We will have to make arrangements to meet though. We can have our own private "secret" chicken cult over on our side of the mtns....like those webbed toed folk do. (you know who you are)

Sounds good.

Congrats!!!

We must all bow to your expertise for getting a blue bird on Champion Row!!!!

I saw the Silkie there! She was very nice. Congratulations!​

WOW, will you come to my house next??!!!

I'm scouring the net right now trying to find plans to guide me as to how to build exterior nest boxes also. Would like to incorporate a slant to get the eggs to roll to the back. We'll see what I end up with!

Ooh! never even thought of putting the nest boxes in at a slant... Hmmm... I do have chicken coops for dummies... Though I have issues with following directions... lol

It has a few nice plans for coops in it, with and without exterior nest boxes...
