That feed gets heavy. You could even use a piece of straight PVC pipe on top with a screw on lid to hold additional feed. Put your tin foil hat on so there isn't any interference with the old brain waves!Post some pics when you get something setup. I'm curious as to what you come up with and besides if it looks good I may want to copy your design!<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-21960543638478909512009-04-21T11:21:00.000-05:002009-04-21T11:21:00.000-05:00To: HermitJim

Great for "Urban Bushcraft".<br /><br />RW<br /><br />BTW, Bet you could make a lot of things if you wanted to set that coffee cup down for a while.

I think that might work as a start.Bitmaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545664971977374552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-71903175847484006872009-04-21T10:09:00.000-05:002009-04-21T10:09:00.000-05:00Now this is something that maybe even I can build!...Now this is something that maybe even I can build!

I'd use some old PVC pipe if you can find some and use it to make a feed shoot to make loading feed easier. Old plastic drain pipe will work pretty good. Just find a big plastic planter and invert it and run the PVC drain pipe through a hole in the top and cut some feed holes in the pot. Use some all-thread to bolt the pot to the drain plate and hook a piece of chain to it to support the extra weight. Put a screw on cap on the top of the feed shoot and just unscrew it when you need to add feed.<br /><br />If I can scrounge up some junk I can build just about anything I need. Thinking about doing a really cheap cardboard bulk feeder. <br /><br />Lots of boxes out there!LOL<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-53986674033689535702009-04-21T09:58:00.000-05:002009-04-21T09:58:00.000-05:00To: YeOldFurt

It must have been 4 feet high and was attached to a barn wall with wire to keep it from falling over. Then they cut the top off a plastic jug with a screw on lid and attached that to the very top with duct tape. The screw on lid is even better at keeping bugs and rodents out than the pop on lid from the coffee can. They claimed they could put 20lbs of feed in it. I told my wife that we're going to build one like that so we don't have to feed as often. I'm also going to make the lid accessible from outside the chicken cage so I don't have to get muddy when it rains.Bitmaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545664971977374552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-54655596239560842652009-04-21T07:27:00.000-05:002009-04-21T07:27:00.000-05:00Dang good idea RW.

Moving it around, having a feeder on the ground can be quite a hassle. We feed the animals, using a used vienna sausage can to put into pen.<br /><br />We'll give it whirl - thanks again for the article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
