    Great Idea might need to raise off ground at chicken height so easier for them to get into or make another with holes higher. Looks like your going to need more than one. Might also want to weigh down some way so wind doesn't knock it over. Glad you've mastered the Clutch. Great Truck. God Bless and Peace Be With You All

    Hey! Lane! Great idea! Lane I live in a town that you can only have 6 hens, that 160 lbs. will last all year. I 'll need to find something smaller, like a 5 gal bucket. Great idea, i'll start work on that. Thanks Again!

    I made something similar years ago, but I believe I used a 4" elbow. I didn't even know they made an elbow with a male and female end! I like how you used it! Just an FYI, I found that I had to raise mine up about 2" because the chickens seemed to have some difficulty. Not to mention, raising it up helped to prevent much splash up when it rained. Good job!

    I agree with the others about the height of the feeders, and weighing it down against the wind. You also might think about a bungie cord or latch system for the lid, to keep it from blowing off. Great idea, though you may need a couple more, for the number of chickens you have.

    • @VWFamilyFarm
      @VWFamilyFarm  3 роки тому +1

      They face down because since they are raised off of the bottom, feed can get under them. The chickens are just reaching down in there and eating feed off the bottom of the can.
