save money! home made rain hat

for our chicken feeder. hubby made it from the bottom of a 99p bucket, and drilled a hole in the middle so it fits onto the long thread that holds the whole lot together. Just make sure that the bucket bottom (or frizbee) is slightly larger than the bottom of the feeder, or it won't keep the rain out

works a treat and is better than forking out £5+ for a rainhat or £25+ for a metal waterproof feeder. :gnthb:

Nice one

 

thanks

someone on freecycle emailed me with the idea of using an empty 5l bottle of water, turn it upsidedown and cut some holes in the neck for the chickens to feed thru
