Big DIY Feeder with plans

[Camile]

Hi everyone,

Here is what I did on Saturday, a nice big feeder for the hens:






It was easy enough to make, and costed me nothing because I scavenged the wood from the kitchen maker next door.

But I have to admit that the design is no mine ... and will give them full credits.

It's from a french poultry website:

And here are the plans to make it:




Let me know if you need some detailed instructions, will translate them.

Nice one Camile

That's now added onto the long list of things to make for the garden

Well done Camile! I can't have anything like that because there are so many mice in my chicken shed, and so I have one that is hanging. Even so if it is not high enough the ruddy mice still get in it!

and that was one thing I could tick of mine !

Well done. I was just thinking how some of that looks like a kitchen table!

But I'm a bit worried about the parts that look like chipboard. That won't stand up to much weather; be a pity if your good work succumbed to the rain. Can you keep it under shelter?

[Camile]

Hi Muddy,

It's the "white one" you talk about isn't it ?

in that case it's kind of sheltered by the overhanging roof .. but I could always make some sort of shelter around it indeed ...

thanks for the thoughts ..

Hi Camile, could I be a pain!!! would you be kind enough to translate for me? I would be really grateful.

I'm not very good at DIY yet, but I'm going to give this a go.. can't wait to see how it looks

Hello again .

sorry for the later reply ..

I was trying to translate it manually ... but found out about this:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr

you can actually translate a whole web page .. and the translation is not bad at all ..

so if you open babelfish, copy and paste this link http://gallinette.net/construire_mangeoire_tremie.php in the Translate web page line .

then select from French to English, and happy days !

Let me know if there is anything that needs clarification ..

Good luck.
Camile

Oh no, not Babelfish! There's gonna be some funny looking chook houses made using that translation program.
