Making a Roof over the Chicken Feeder to keep out moisture
Just a very simple project using some scrap metal and wood I had around.
The Amazon bucket feeder has started letting moisture into the feeder, which is not a good thing. I was looking at more waterproof feeder designs, but didn't feel like spending over $100 on one, so I decided to throw together a roof for $0.
The design is super basic, as you can see, but with it tied down to the chain link fence in the back its very solid and isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Now it should keep the rain off the bucket feeder, and keep the chickens from pooping all over the top of the bucket.
Bonus they now get an extra perch and something new to climb on to fight boredom.
Hope this helps or gives you some ideas for your own chicken run.
