Inexpensive Chicken Feeder
This is my version of a gravity feeder for chickens. I got the inspiration from the galvanized aluminum feeders I saw at the local feed store. Very inexpensi…

S thanks guy .. go ravens lol
This is a great “idea” although I find it a lot more complicated than what
it has to be.
Genius!
Excellent design.. and how-to video. Thanks very much indeed.
Hello, sure it helps us, my interest is mostly on agriculture (plants and
animals), and ideas like you post is surely creativity. Thanks, just get
some materials and measure as done, it is exactly a man-made
feeder…absolutely helpful.
I am going to try that, thanks Eric!
very nice how well does it work with water
Could you write down a word for word step?
great idea! will be using this for sure, thanks for sharing.
Rhodies are a great breed. They are good layers and quite hardy. But, they
are not as personable as some other breeds. I have Plymouth Rocks, one Buff
Orpington and a Black Minorca (the Orp’n and Minorca are new) as well as
the Rhodies. The Plymouth Rocks will come sit with me, let me stroke them
etc. The Rhodies are a little more skittish. But again, they are quite
vigorous. My alpha and beta are both Rhodies.
My hen house and run are sealed in hardwire cloth, 1/2, on bottom of runs
also, only solution. look for chewed holes, patch with tin flashing.
I love this! Those Home Depot buckets are darn useful! Right now I am using
several of them to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and honeydew melon,
using one for a compost scrap bin, making a worm farm out of another few;
looks like I will be making a chicken feeder out of another once I get my
chickens. Good job!
Wow! I would have never even considered doing that!
Thank you! It is quite easy to make. I am still using mine and it is as
good as the day I made it.
Couldn’t you also make this for water?
Thanks for the great idea!
Good Idea!! I would use rivets though
Nice design Eric! Im putting one together this wknd for my six birds and i
think i will borrow some ques from you. Thanks for sharing, Randall
Thanks
Very good and effective idea, just a tiny bit overworked on the build.
Maybe it’ll be much simpler to create using some PVC pipe, with a few
larger caps and/or flanges.
good job
How often do you have to fill the bucket with feed? We made a feeder with a
tube but it doesn’t actually gravity feed (the way I think it should) so
I’d like to show my husband this video to make another one for our current
flock. Thanks.
Great job! I have to come up with a RAT proof feeder that is cheap and easy
to make ;/
Very nice..thanks.
What a good idea
What you are doing is sooooo incredible!!!! I would love to help out – I
will message you on your website and see if a new business I’m starting

your chickens, your sense of appreciation for your animals, and your
incredible devotion to your cause!!! Thank God for people like you!
