We started on ours yesterday. We had been talking about it for months now. I will try to post pics of what we did.
ETA: Pics Posted.
Our chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys will be eating from this one feeder. I still have 1 longer trough feeder under the raised coop (just because).
We put in 150 lbs of feed this morning and we didn't even fill it up 1/4 of the way. So, I"m not sure how many lbs of feed it can hold.
Here are the sheep feeders that we made last year. There feed stays nice and dry in ANY kind of weather. No problems at all with feed getting wet. It's placed out in their open pen.
