DIY chicken feed trough improvements
It's been a year since we
first installed the DIY
chicken feed trough.
One thing I might do
different next time would be to make the inside of the trough more of a
V shape. It might also help if it was secured in a way that was easy to
lift out and clean.

I was just thinking of making something like this. I have started mixing my own feed, from about 5 different ingredients, and thought I could divide the trough into compartments for each separate item, let them have a buffet.
The idea of a v-shaped bottom is interesting. What if the trough itself were secured, and there was a v-shaped insert, removeable, for ease of cleaning?
