We have made numerous gutter and PVC feeders and all of them dont dispense the feed fast enough. What are your favorite feeders? Homemade is GREAT!!!! We don't want to spend a trillion dollars on designs. We just need a simple, yet efficient one. We are just ---

I use this kind of feeder and hang it just below head height to get the feed, that way they don't waste it. These cost me about $20 and have worked great. I don't feed any other way in my coop or in my brooder trailer you see here.

Omran,

It looks like that feeder doesnt hold a lot.

I forgot to say that I have 15 chickens.

I like your idea Omran and I've been trying to figure out how to make one that would stockpile the feed inside of it since I saw you post it. What I like about the ones I bought is that I can fill it and not worry about it for several days at a time.

I got an idea! What if you put two slats inside that were just a little shorter so that the middle of it would hold more food? I might try that and see how it turns out.

That's exactly what we use - for 23 chickens. We slit the sides of a plastic bucket lid to fit over the top so they don't perch and poop in it. It works great. We have 23 chickens and I rarely have to fill it. They do free range though.

There are SOOOO many things you can use for a feeder. Some People do a cost effective thing. I use the galvanized ones like the second poster has. You can get several sizes or use more than one.

I found most of my chicken stuff at Auctions.
