Most chicken feeders are made with steel or aluminum, which are expensive and too complex for a regular diyer to build. however this treadle chicken feeder made with wood is very easy and requires only basic materials. the feeder is designed to save time and completely avoid wastage, ensuring the chicken have enough food for a long time.. My most recent chicken feeder was a homemade 3″ pvc pipe feeder mounted to the outside of the run. it worked well enough, except there was more food being wasted than i wanted. despite my best attempts at trying to keep them from doing it, the chickens would scratch out the feed (even with zip ties criss crossed over the opening).. A bulk chicken feeder makes sure nothing gets wasted. this diy feeder is simple to make and costs less than $20. chances are you waste more than that in feed each year. the design also stops the animals from tossing out their chicken feed all around their coop and making a mess..
