Middle America's Worldview

Here is an interesting video I found.

The title is: Cheap chicken feeder, how to build a bulk chicken/poultry feeder, PT1..

Had a friend come around & we built a chook feeder each of varying sizes.. It was a really easy build only requiring the drum & the flanged elbow.. The only tools needed were a marking pen, ruler, hacksaw, & a 95mm hole saw but other methods could be used to cut out the hole..
The build itself took all of 10 minutes to make, it was that easy & cost about $20AU/US.. Will make the job of feeding the Chooks so much easier as the drum will easily take a whole 25kg/55lb bag..

****Found a supplier in the United States/North America for anyone that is having problems sourcing the 90°Flange..

Price is about the same as over here so that great..

**** UPDATE ****
Had a few issues with a messy eater spilling grain out from the feeder so have come up with a fix that is REALLY cheap & easy… Can be added during or after the build..

Hope that helps anyone having issues..

A big thanks to Hamish121212 for posting his clip on the feeder..

I would also like to thank Adie for springing for the elbow.. Looks like Adie’s blog has been closed, sorry about that folks.
