- Feeding your quails is so easy with this feeder inspired by my dad. It takes a little more material and time to build than my other feeder but it’s worth it! No waste and I can fit almost the entire 50 lb bag of feed in it.
- แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Lining the back with metal flashing material helps the feed slide fwd and makes the slope from the back to the sloped floor more gradual/rounded. The same material could be used for the face of the box, with a 1" wood strip at the feed opening to staple to and attach a less mess grid 1" x 1" (or 2") cage wire. This same design can be redesigned with an inverted V shaped sloped floor (or metal flashing "tent" to service two (mirror image) side by side cages and replace the side wall of the dual, mirror image cage build giving you a long term (2-3 week) feed solution for a cage battery system. A proper lid and it can even be used in an outdoor stacked cage battery.
Great video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Blessings and more Blessings to you and your family
We’re going to build this genius design today. FYI. The top of that metal chicken feeder slides on and off from side to side. No need to pry it off.
Well done. Very resourceful. Ingenious
I think you did well.
Omg that’s such a great idea ,I been thinking of a way to do something like this and now thanks to you I have an idea :) thanks video !
really great job 👍
Instead of plywood, consider using Schluter from board. It's the stuff used behind tile bathroom walls, basically a high density foam sandwiched between layers of tough water impermeable fabric. It comes in various thicknesses (3/8", 1/2" +), is lightweight, can be painted, dimensional strong especially "on end", can be cut with a razor knife (box cutter) and can be glued, caulked, or screwed to a wood frame. This material (from home depot/lowes or a tile company) is being used in the RV industry to make cabinetry due to its light weight (compared to plywood) and strength. Next time you see a tiled seating niche in a high end bathroom, realize it's just a hollow box that has been tiled over make of 1/2 Schluter foam board and the entire structure weighs less than a pound (sans tile) yet supports the weight of an average American... and that's saying something.
The only drawback is that it is expensive although it used to cost what good plywood costs today. I suggest sealing the exposed foam edges with a schmearing of clear epoxy glue to continue the integrity of the inner/outer waterproof fabric and strengthen the foam protecting it from "pick out". Space age stuff my friends. NASA quality and super easy to work with. I find more uses for it every day. (HD/Lowes has a similar rebranded product (powder blue? Light green?) but I love the Orange Schluter original... compare pricing & give it a try. You'll be surprised
Very clever build thank you.
Steve's Outdoor World Thank you
Love it!😍
Good job and idea
Thanks! الافلام المنوعة
Great job really 👍
Greetings from Central Wyoming!
I love your video, it does give me some ideas for the setup that I intend to build in the next month or so!
However, I was wondering if you could do a second video showing your model 2 with the raised feeding station?
I believe I understand what you meant in the audio, but as the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words!
I have subscribed and switched on the notifications bill for when you add more videos!
Thanks again for taking the time to do this video, it was very educational.
Cheers from open range Wyoming!
JR Bailey thanks! I want explain what I meant about making a higher one. The piece of wood with the groove in it was 2” instead of 1.5” in the first one. That half inch made so much difference. The birds have to reach in a little bit more and can’t splash the food with their beaks. I hope that clears it up or maybe you’ve already figured that out if built one already. Have great day! Let me know how it works out for you.
Good job
wow, so impressive. Yo so creative a lady.
Great idea
I've been messing around with my own designs and those of other TH-camrs for like 2 years now. I am so sick of all the wasted crumble! My brain has decayed, so I no longer have an imagination, or at least not an effective one. Thanks for demonstrating exactly what I wanted to build, but just couldn't visualize myself!
Brian Sessums I understand the feeling that’s why I decided to take the time to make this video. It makes me so happy to know that my efforts may have helped you. Good luck! Please let me know if you have any questions.
I have built 3 now, each one evolving based on my methods & use of less expensive materials. I have dozens of different DIY cages, so I look forward to less waste and longer time between filling feed! I may make a video on my budget version of your design.
Brian Sessums That sounds great! Please post videos of your cages and your feeders. I’d love to see them.
Smart!
Thanks for this vedio
This puts my feeder to shame. Nice job.
nimnogaparus Thank you. This feeder has made my quail raising life so much easier😊
Thanks good video. You did a great Job....
Jtinnon Thanks! How are your quails doing?
LearnGrowLiveWell the quails are doing fine even in the cold with snow on the ground they are hardy birds. Video coming soon
Interesting, and I also noticed you have natural material matting on top of the metal floor.
John Aldersley Thanks for notice the mat that my daughter made from palm leaves to give the quail a break from the metal.
Great idea!
At the risk of being labeled “sexist” I must say that your technique to cut the groove was very ingenious and not something most women I know could have figured out.
Steve Jackson Thank you! I was raised by a genius of a father who believes his girls can do anything.
Quail Mom and they can but seldom is it seen
Steve Jackson oh Christ you are an asshole, aren’t you?
What kinda feed is that The one I found seems to be more dust than feed
What a great idea! How is it working out thus far? Do you still find it to be a good design or would you change anything? I too have quail and chickens and find myself always updating and tweaking certain things to make them more efficient, wondering if you’ve done anything to this?
svetikg1 I made it a little simpler, no more front extension because it was poop was collecting there. They are working wonderfully. I couldn’t be happier.
Nice concept, but how do you control them not standing on top and pooping all over??
where did you get the metal feeder if i may ask for a link, thanks
Farm and fleet and tractor supply plus
Can you share all of the dimensions of the parts used in a comment here?
