PVC Chicken Feeder http://theownerbuildernetwork.co/i2p7 Here's a chicken feeder that's easy to fill, hard to spill, safe from non-chicken life forms, weather resistant, easy to make, and inexpensive!
A piece of charcoal attached to the wall inside a coop can give your poultry access to a natural substance that will help absorb toxins and help to keep the digestive system in balance.
This homemade feeder keeps chickens from beaking the feed out and wasting it. Directions can be found here: The Chicken Chick®: My PVC Chicken Feeder. DIY instructions!
Hardware mesh is placed in a trench around the perimeter at an angle to keep burrowers out, and then plastic coated galvanized wire fencing (4 feet high) is nailed on the outside of the fence, including on the gate. The hardware mesh overlaps the wire fencing about 12 inches.
homemade chicken waterer- so stinking simple and smart! (Wonder if you could do the same thing with a large "Gatorade" cooler and give your hens cool water in the summer.)
