A zero waste chicken feeder. I should have built one of these a long time ago.
Lets get started. I have most of the pieces I'll be needing already cut to size.
The front, sides.
And here is the back side.
Some pocket holes will start my day.
I'll use these to attach the sides to the back of the feeder.
Notice I'm only drilling pocket holes on one side. Thats because I won't be using pocket
holes to attach the front.
So far so good lets attach that front.
Nothing a little glue and brads won't take care of.
Flip it on its head.
Spin it around.
Attach the bottom.
Alright its time for the front inlet...feeder....awning thing...you know the part that the chickens
will stick there heads into to
get the food....you know the hardest part about all this is actually coming up with
names for all this stuff.
I got an idea. Just.....watch all that I'm doing.....and enjoy.
I need to attach an L shaped piece inside the feeder about an inch or two from the bottom.
This is going to prevent all the food
from just spilling out onto the ground. You know because it wouldn't be a zero waste chicken
feeder without it.
Pocket holes is how I intend to attach it to the inside.
A cut list and materials can be found at my website. Simply Easy diy dot com.
Check the description. I'll have the link.
The lid is slightly oversized so I can attach a lip to keep the moisture out.
Hinges...obviously.
An entire 50 pound bag of feed fits inside and After a few coats of wood protection,
it didn't take em long at all to figure out where the grub was.
