Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Feeder

Follow these simple steps to create a reliable feeder for your flock:

1. Plan the Size: Determine how much space your chickens need to access food easily based on your flock size and feeding habits.
2. Choose Your Container: Pick a plastic container, such as a 5-gallon bucket, tote, or barrel, to serve as the feeder’s main body.
3. Assemble the Base: Attach the container to a sturdy base—wood works great—to keep it elevated and prevent contamination.
4. Create Feeding Ports: Drill holes around the container, about 3 inches from the bottom, to allow easy access to the feed.
5. Secure Everything: Once assembled, ensure all parts are tightly secured and stable for long-lasting use.
