Why Build Your Own Feeder?

A DIY chicken feeder is a smart choice for several reasons:

  • Cost-Effective: Using everyday materials, you can create a feeder for a fraction of the price of store-bought options.
  • Customizable: Whether you have a small backyard flock or a larger homestead, you can tailor the design to fit your needs perfectly.

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.
