Homemade Chicken Feeder

What you need
1 5 gallon bucket lid
1 smaller bucket w/lid (we used a 14LB bucket)
Drill
2 screws

We drilled 4 quarter size holes in the sides of the bucket. Make sure you drill directly above the bottom of the bucket on the sides.

Next place the 5 gallon bucket lid with the top on the bottom of the bucket so the feed will collect on it. I only drilled 2 screws near the center of the lid which seemed to hold fine.

Fill feeder with feed and place the smaller lid on top of the bucket and you are good to go!

We asked a Food Lion (which is a grocery store) manager if they would sell any of their 5 gallon buckets that the cake icing came in and they said, "no, but we give them away."

So stop by your grocery store or local Wal-Mart and ask. It never hurts to ask. I know from a friend that Wal-Mart will sell their buckets for $1.00 a bucket or for a $1.00 for as many as you can carry.

This is a 14LB chicken feeder and I checked tractor supply's price for a 10LB feeder
