My goat proof chicken feeder

[SJSFarm]

I found this design on a youtube video and have found my goats can't get into it.


I used a 3 1/2 gallon frosting bucket and four 2" 90degree elbows.

I cut the raised edge off one side of each elbow. Cut the holes into the bucket, far enough from the bottom so that when the elbows were in place, the food would still fall. 3/4 to 1 inch from the bottom is minimum (depends of feed size).

The elbow on the top is just to show you what I used.

I have my two bucks (50/50 MiniMancha) in with the chickens, and they've not gotten into the feed! Yea!

Dang it! Sorry it's sideways!!!

Do you have a link to the youtube site?

[SJSFarm]

Found it, but I don't know why the link is not working.

What I normally do, is open it and do select all and copy, then paste it here and the lik is connected. It's not working now! My web address bar (I'm using an iphone) shows just the search I did on bing, no address, so when I select all and copy, it just shows "cheap chicken feeder" annoying!
Enter that as a search and hit videos, it's this posing - I did a screen shot. Sorry all!!!

I see it, I believe you are telling the truth...I just can't believe there is anything that would keep a goat from killing itself on chicken feed!! This must be what they call a "miracle."
