Hello everybody. Today we will consider the manufacture of an unusual feeder for chickens, geese, ducks, etc. The unusual thing is that the chickens themselves will open it. It sounds strange and useless, for me it is. Hens grab all the food, in about ten minutes (depending on the amount of food and hens, roosters). If you need layers, then you can not overfeed them. If you need birds for fattening, then why this feeder, you just pour the food into a simple feeder and they eat it as much as necessary. The only plus of this homemade, This is show off in front of neighbors, relatives. Remind them that it’s time to leave the era of Neanderthals and switch to new technologies (or you can give such a feeder more mother-in-law, having placed a landmine in it beforehand). In a day, everyone will have such feeders, not for business, but for show-offs. The idea of this feeder belongs to the author of YouTube channel "all ideas", such a normal master (1.6 million subscribers). Well, let's look at how to do this miracle.
For manufacturing you will need:
1. Reiki 2 × 2cm
2. Plywood
3. Screwdriver, hammer, nails, etc.
Step 1. Production
First, the author draws a future feeding trough on paper, notes the required dimensions, shape, etc. After that he makes a frame from the slats and nails it with plywood. Further, a simple mechanism is made of the same materials, the chicken stands on its leg and lifts the lid of the feeder. You can see the sizes of the feeder and the mechanism device in the video located at the bottom of the article.
Step 2. Testing
As you can see in the video or in the photo, the feeder still works. But I did not understand how the hens figured out what to do, my chickens, if they stood on the foot of the feeder, would quickly run away from it and would not fit. I think we need to train them, put food on the lid or something else to come up with. If you know, then share in the comments, maybe someone will take up the assembly of this feeder. This can be done. If the article is suitable, then like it.
