DIY Chicken Feeder and Waterer

[@geralkennedy]

Great idea by putting the hole in the top of the lid. The top seals tightly as the water leaves the bucket, and it's almost impossible to get the lid off.

[@thehazelnutspread]

BONUS POINTS for not making us take the lid off. The hole that you cut is big enough for a bottle brush (wine making type) to scrub out the pail if required.

[@marilyngrass2533]

I made a box out of plywood, 4- 3" boards to form a box works great, used what I had.

[@lagrilla226]

Love it! Perfect! Simple and handy! Kudos to you! Thank you!!!

[@jasonbarnett6391]

@ kitkatlex72 You could get a bucket with a screw on cap on the top, make the holes at the bottom of it and just fill it via the cap on top.

[@KyleLesmeister]

The water would flow out of the holes on the bottom faster than the hose fills it up resulting in a muddy mess in the coop.

[@reginaldmapunda6702]

Good idea, going to try one immediately.

[@balaramanan7285]

Simple and the Best.

[@harvestblades]

I will be building one for my rabbit colony!

[@MrKHAILEE]

Thank you so much for saving me some money.

[@balaramanan7285]

Thanks and Perfect idea .

[@danr97123]

nice setup.

[@workinonit9562]

Good idea, I have a problem with chickens billing out crumbles which creates a lot of waste, do your chickens bill the food out of this feeder? Thanks

[@signofgenesis5760]

How did you seal the top lid ? How tight is it - did you burn the plastic top on ?

[@buoyantenglishcentre5534]

very good idea and innovative for my requirement as i am looking for water feeding for crows. very nice very innovative thanks for sharing

[@tzimmerm27]

Nipple feeders are a clean solution. They can attach to a pvc pipe so you can fill a reservoir and pipe it out to a pvc line with nipple feeders. My solution is focused on cost, but for a few more bucks you can get a more hands off solution.

wise feeding

[@Warrior-In-the-Garden]

A week....sweet.

[@11851nick]

Thanks for the great idea!!!

[@MrTrekFanDan]

You might want to change the 'oil pans' to a food grade pan...the bucket looks like it is food grade. Thanks for taking the time.

[@countryside8122]

how do you keep flying squirrels from eating out of it?

[@illyriadardania6720]

Like that Its work amazing Easyy to use

[@lennym480]

Why not just use couple of those larger automatic dog feeders and waterers?! Wouldn't those work just as well?

[@tzimmerm27]

That would work too, but it'll cost about $50. These are $5.

[@lennym480]

+tzimmerm27 Awesome and thanks for the reply! Those feeders and waterers are far from being $50 Thanks again!

[@YOURTVSTATION1]

Marvelous....

[@grayfrank9642]

Do birds or vermin get into the feeder?

[@jasonbarnett6391]

Don't really need that many holes though, only about 2 or 3

[@ameliasaenz01]

they need a bigger coop

[@scottplanner22]

+Amelia Saenz **No they don't..

[@brightflights]

Thanks homie for this video

[@qimirubyjane6890]

I LIKE IT ALOT.. TQ

[@nayefalsaleh4439]

👍👌 thanks

[@RussEastburn]

nice but my chicks would be crappin in the feed and the opossum and mice would be lined up for a block lol

[@charitymushayi2306]

Y cant yu jus add more water from the top instead of the botom??

[@tzimmerm27]

If there is any air leak on top, the water will flow out the bottom completely. I actually did try that, and that’s how I learned that tidbit.

[@adammason1650]

Those chickens look so confused! They need a bigger coop!

[@worldsworkerstamil3461]

Hi

[@marshaharriss4550]

They need fresh water and feed every single day...not once a week or longer. You only have 3 chickens! I feel sorry for them.

[@ameliasaenz01]

i dont like think those chicken should live in such small place, they are to confined... Not right!!!

[@tzimmerm27]

I let them free range during the day so don't feel bad for them. They are fine.

[@scottplanner22]

+Amelia Saenz ***Have you ever seen a Chicken Farm?? If you saw where your packaged chicken in the store comes from, you wouldn't even eat it.. These chickens are living the high life in comparison. Nice coop, and a great video.

[@byeFofiko1]

they have more room than they'd have an a factory..

[@paulrussell9820]

I have 18 chickens and guineas in a coop with 6×8 chicken run that I built

[@benjaminchong82]

come on .....what u mean by not right ... its just a chicken.

[@likira111]

Wtf is wrong with the coop size.

[@tax223]

Nothing.

[@reesereese9786]

Your coop is ways to small meaning your really aduseing your chickens they like to eat bugs and run around !

[@tzimmerm27]

Thanks for your concern, but they do free range as well. Also we have a new coop setup, you can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2O1nIt-atCEnZY
