Other people in the comments seem to have understood the directions okay.🤷‍♂️ We did the best we could showing what we were doing, but we are working with a live rooster that doesn’t care about our camera work.😂

1”x2” welded wire like this stuff right here. amzn.to/4gXKDny Thanks for watching!

We are still using ours and love it. Best method we’ve tried without having to constantly replace something.

Hope it goes smooth for ya! Thanks for watching.

Still working great for us too! amzn.to/4eGxJYW

Thank you and thanks for watching!

By the grace of god.😂

I’m not sure, it’ll depend on the size. But most steel barrels have a lid with a steel collar on it that you can remove.

Still going strong and happy to be out in the open!

Thanks for watching and good luck with your rooster!

That’s awesome, have fun with it!

This was around $150 on Amazon at the time. And maybe $50 in lumber and other materials max. It held up well up until an 80+ mph windstorm blew through and one side caved in on one of the uprights. It’s an easy fix and overall still standing but we’ve since changed how we winterize the chickens in our main coop and are planning to use this as a regular greenhouse as it’s intended for now. We still think it’s a pretty good product for the price especially with a few cheap upgrades. Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!

We actually did that with cattle panels. It worked but it was a pain in the but to move it to mow. And it didn’t look too nice either.😅 We got this for free for reviewing it but it has actually been good so far. Our dogs are never in it for more than an hour or two while their collars charge then they are free to roam the whole farm the rest of the time.

Never tried it

Just watched your winterize the coop video! Hay bailes under the nest box to reduce drafts. Now if you could figure out a way to prevent the eggs and water from freezing if you’re out of town for some reason

Thanks, this whole set up has done pretty well for us! In the winter time I buy hay bales and stack them up around the base of the coop and it helps a ton in holding in heat in the coop and blocking out wind. I move the coop a little less frequently in the winter time since it’s a bigger job with the hay bales but they do great. We are adding additional fencing so to give them more space so that should really help this winter too with them not being moved as much.

You can see in the the beginning of this video as well a plastic wrap I build around their water system that acts like a greenhouse and helps keep their water from freezing. That helps keep the water about 10 degrees above whatever the air temp is so it helps until it gets down to 25 degrees or less outside.

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Yep done that one time and it was plenty enough to learn my lesson to pay more attention when popping it off.😅

It’s a food grade container that is drained by the chickens and refilled by the rain constantly. I’m not seeing an issue with it and my chickens are healthy.🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching!

I dig the idea because they keep pooping on it anywhere else I leave it.😂

I never assume I’m the first at anything.😂 never even touched a chicken before 2020. And yes I’ve had to clear the connection between hose to float valve twice in the last year from random blockages. Someone said throwing some copper pipe in my barrels will help combat algae build up in general though so I’m gonna give that a try and see if it works. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! 🙏🏼

It’s been a pretty good kennel so far. We’ve had it a couple months and been good for what we’ve used it for. These two go buck wild when we let them out from the built up energy of having to sit still for an hour or two.😂

Plywood was my initial thought too but didn’t want to have to drill into the trailer railing. That’s what made me give the cattle panels a shot. They turned out working better than expected! Thanks for watching!

These were our first pigs. They are a lot of trouble and a lot of fun all at the same time.😂 Thanks for watching!

I use it mostly for pullets and it’s not too high for them. You could always trim the side walls down some to what you need though. I think if you were to trim it down it’d be better to use a cheap plastic oil pan rather than this rubber pan. The rubber pan might lose some of its rigidness ones the sidewalls are cut.

It’s pretty awesome and we are still using it. Made keeping the chickens watered so much easier for us.

Thanks for watching!

It’s worked really well for us! Thanks for watching.

It works great but make sure you use screws not nails or the pigs will pry pieces off of it. AND T post it to the ground. Learned that lesson the hard way.😂 With 6 pigs it would average about 42lbs per day (7ish lbs of feed per pig per day). I could fit about 7- 50lbs bags in it and at the end of the week it would still have roughly about 1 bag left in it.

We are in Kentucky.

Whatever works. Thanks for watching.

In the middle of a field with 2 guardian dogs? Rats or any other varmint/ predator hasn’t been a problem at all for us in the last year or so.

@@easyworkacres Give it time. I'm in a similar living situation and for 12 years, still catch critters in live traps, that are after my chickens. Vermin is just part of farming.

I’m sure it heats up some but not enough that the chickens have had trouble drinking from it. Only certain hours of the day get sun on it as well, different depending on the orientation of the coop in the field since it’s mobile.

We had a rooster do the same thing on our poultry net one time. Was hanging from one leg upside down. Thought for sure he was a goner because I wasn’t sure how long he’d been handing there. Walked off with a limp for all of a few hours and was totally fine from there. 😂

@@easyworkacres tough little buggers, eh?

We don’t really have a need to make another one at this point since we are now up to 150 hens and they are all in a big mobile chicken coop. But it sounds like those plans would work really well for this set up of a feeder! Thanks for watching!

Actually doesn’t need to be cleaned all that often. It’s worked great for us for a long time now. We’ve tried poultry nipples but they don’t tend to hold up well with 150 hens messing with them all day everyday, and on a mobile coop that we pull all over the farm the small hardware gets shaken up and banged around a lot.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

There’s a full build video on our channel!

Absolutely more saw than needed.😂 They are cedar fence pickets. 1x6x6

Love it we will give it a try!
