I was wondering if anyone wanted to share pictures or instructions for their milk jug feeders. I have two, which are my main feeders (they do have a store-bought hanging feeder in the coop, but I only have to refill it maybe once a week or once every other week and it's never gone completely empty). I just cut a hole in the side several inches above the bottom and hang them off the fence with a carabiner. They work very well, but lately at least one of the two has been completely empty when I take them in at night and I have noticed a lot of feed spilled on the ground. I've tried hanging them so that the bottom is resting on the ground and so that the bottom is several inches above the ground and it doesn't seem to make a difference in the amount of waste. I'm just wondering if there's a more effective "design" or if wasted feed is just something I'll have to deal with if I want to continue using these kinds of feeders. I need to make another one (one of my two is looking very beat up) but before I take the time to cut a hole in another plastic jug I wanted to see if maybe I could do it differently so as to waste less feed.
