Awww, dat's so cute!

Great idea, to boot - no more bending!

... for the human, I mean.


ETA: I'm going to make one of those for SnagglePuss - he'll probably get his head trapped in it and die happy.

Kinda looks like they're getting orders from the crew up on deck. Sailor chicks . . .

Wonder if that would work with chocolates? ... backoff! Patent pending! :stop:

 

[Anne]

That would work if you could keep them from sitting on top of the pipe openings. Otherwise, they'd be dropping some nasty stuff in their food. :noway:

Jilly, That's pretty ingenious for a home made feeder. It looks brand new, like the rest of the coop. It won't be long before it's not so pristine white. Chickens as I am finding out are non discriminate poopers.
This is what I have and it hangs from the ceiling. They're not likely to perch on it unless they want to use it for a swingMine has a lid so I can fill it up with about ten pounds of feed and call it good for a while.

Di, I like the chocolate idea...think you could get that patent before Valentines Day? I figure it could probably hold about a years supply of choccy's and be good to go until next Valentine. One tube for chocolate cremes, one for chocolate nut clusters ...etc!

Must admit i do like the one you use as it gets it off the floor , no poop and hopefully no mice in it, we used one the same when we had chickens. As far as using it for choccy i can't help but think about how those wretched mice would party in there.
Just a thought a gumball machine where you twist the handle and one comes out would work better, and no vermin can get in.

great idea - looks like that would work for water too. some day I'm going to build a couple of chicken tractors - keeps them safe from critters but gives them fresh ground to peck around in

 

[jrfromafar]

here's a nicer one

 

[SifuPhil]

here's a nicer one

Whoa!

Chicken Chow Wagon!

 

[That Guy]

I like that idea jrfromafar.

These chicken tractors can get pretty sophisticated.... what décor fits your fancy ?? Parisian? French Country? Western?

We keep 25 to 30 chickens. The eggs are great and what we don't eat ourselves, we have people that stop by and ask us to sell our eggs.

 

[jrfromafar]

I like the wagon one too...I could move in there in my daughters back yard, with just a few modifications.

hey there ya go.... your own chicken tractor... something that is mobile so you can peck around in new ground and have a new view of the farm. Fresh new bugs... plus, all the chicken scratch you can cram down your gullet! what a deal...

of course, you'll have to choose between being a layer or a broiler...... :grin:

 

[Ina]

Jr, I do love the eggs, but I still buy chicken to cook. I end up naming and getting attached to my own chickens. They can lay eggs for a few years, 3 or 4 sometimes. :dunno:

 

[TICA]

I want a chicken tractor! Those are awesome (as my son would say). Seriously, what a great idea.

 

[jrfromafar]

Lol...I choose Layer!

yeah, I suppose given the choice, the life of a layer is preferred over that of a broiler... layers live longer, except, no doubt, they're always saying... "hmm, where'd those eggs go?"
