    I would love to see the step by step if you made them, or if you have the plans or drawings. I can see it worked really well. Thanks

      I'm glad you like them. I honestly am so happy with them. I had one made out of pvc a few years ago, and these are so much better. The link to the video when we built them is in the description of this video. Let me know if it's clear enough. If not I'll do one that's a little more up close and step by step. :)

      @@normabumbaugh6929 ha ha. Yep, unfortunately we have to plan for a little loss due to pests. That's a good idea to use a cow bell. Does it scare the deer off? We built a big fence this year. Here's that video. ua-cam.com/video/ur8T-LOG8sE/v-deo.html

    Thank you. I am in NE Idaho😄 👋 it gets cold during the Winter and would like ideas for warmth, cares, and supplies. I only have one chicken right now so I need to keep her warm. I had a feeling you were a neighbor. 😉

      We are in Southeast Idaho. Yes we have several videos showing the results and how we built it. Here is the first one showing the build process. The first few minutes are showing the kids make cherry pie if you want to skip that. ua-cam.com/video/v9OtMx_S3_8/v-deo.html

      Feeding schedule is the obvious factor

      @familyfunhomesteadingandDIY  8 місяців тому +1

      Yeah, that could be. I generally just free feed mine, so they always have access to layer pellets. They love any greens or scraps they can find though. :)
