Each owner knows, in order to grow a bird, it is necessary to install a feeder and cream in the smokeshield. This inventory should be designed for various ages of the bird: for adults and chickens.
When building a feeder for currency, it is necessary to take into account one important aspect - the equipment must clean well and, if necessary, it can be treated with disinfecting fluids.
There are several types of quarrels for chickens:
- For solid feed.
- For liquid (wet).
- For mixed feed.
For the facilities of a feeder for chickens, for each type of feed, it is necessary to use different material. For wet feed, it is best to use a metal or plastic design, and for dry feed - wooden, as well as from seashells, gravel, and even chalk.
For dry feed, the trough from the tree is desirable to immediately make a spacious in order to load the daily rate of grain in early morning. Such a container for grain for convenience can be attached to the wall, but not higher than 50 centimeters from the floor. In addition, to comply with the drinking mode of home player, it is necessary next to the feeder to install a chicken drink . It is installed not only in the indoors itself, but also on the street, as the chickens love to walk in the fresh air and spend a lot of time on the street.
When accommodating near the feeders, drinking, it is necessary to ensure that water always contained, because the chicks drink a lot of fluids, especially in the first weeks of life.
Handling with your own hands drinkers and feeder for chickens , Each farmer can significantly reduce labor costs for the cultivation of feathery. There are several options for the facilities of the curtain feeders.
Cuts for Kur.
From plastic pipe
To build such a container for grain, you do not need to drill anything and strict. It will take:
- Sewer pipe from plastic, wide, one meter long.
- Pipe plugs (two pieces).
- Tee for the sewer pipe.
- Fire or other tool for cutting pipes from plastic.
Take a plastic tube and cut it into three parts: 70 centimeters, 20 and 10.
On the pipe, a segment of 20 centimeters, we wear a cap - it will be the basis of the future feeder. From above, you need to "plant" the tee and insert a cut of 70 centimeters into it. Close the plug on the other side. In the opening on the side insert the remaining cut of the pipe and install the feeder. Pour in her grain. So that it was stable, the finished design must be screwed to the wall or grid in the chicken coop.
The feeder is very comfortable, as the chickens can approach her and eat, but they will not get to throw out from it to the ground. In such a container, you can pour a lot of grain at the rate of 20-30 keys. It is advisable to close the stub on the night so that the feeds do not get the garbage and other unwanted items.
Second version of the feeder
Take two pipes with a length of half the meter and 30 centimeters, two plugs, knee. You will also need a drill or electric saw.
In the bottom tube you need to drill on two sides of the hole, of which the chickens will be eating. For convenience, you first need a hole with a drill, and then the jigsaw gently expand it to the desired parameters. The diameter of the opening should be 7 centimeters. From the opposite side, the pipe is closed using a plug. Everything, the feeder for the feathery is ready, it remains to be installed in the chicken coop and fill it with food.
The result of the work can be viewed on this photo:
This variant of the feeder does not take much time, and all the necessary materials have a low cost.
Third version of the feeders
How to make a feeder for chickens from a plastic pipe - the third option. This type of feeding cups is also called bunker. To create it, the pipe plastic plumbing is needed - 30 centimeters and sewage - 15 centimeters, as well as a tape or sticky tape, screws, mounting corners, saw, hammer, nails, segment of the twine.
How to build bunker feeders for chickens, you can look at this video:
After familiarization with the video material, you can proceed to work and make an inexpensive device from the primary materials.
- Take for the founding of Phaneur or the board (20 centimeters size), the thickness of the board should be about 10 millimeters.
- I will attach a wide tube to the base of plywood with the help of corners and screws.
- The edges of the thin pipe neatly cut.
- We will perform a longitudinal and transverse section so that the pipe has turned out, which carries the lower part.
- Now the pipe must be inserted into the middle of a wide tube and copp them with screws.
- In the plastic cylinder from under the water, cut the bottom.
- We install a cylinder with a balloon down and thoroughly wrap the connection place of the connection.
- In the container, fall asleep feed and check the finished design in action.
Types of chicken drinks
From bucket
Make drinking for chickens with your own hands very simple. For this, an old unnecessary bucket is suitable. It takes to dial water, cover it with any subject (the old pelvis is suitable) and turn it over. That's all, a simple drivingker for chickens is ready.
As it looks, you can see in this photo:
In order for the design with time, it is not contaminated, it is necessary to make it so that its upper edge occurs on the level of bird backs. And for convenience, combine both parts of the design with a twine or wire.
Depending on which feeds are obtained by birds, the size of the drilling will be dependent. So, if the temperature in the chicken coop fluctuates in the range of 17 degrees, then 250-300 ml of water should be pouring 250-300 ml. Accordingly, these simple calculations will help determine the size of the drinker.
The second version of this drill is made as follows: a bucket is taken, which has a rigid cover, for example, a bucket of paint. It is also necessary to prepare another container - take the pallet from under the flower vase so that its diameter is greater than the diameter of the bucket. By the way, instead of a bucket you can take a glass bottle. In the rim bucket and under the lid itself, with a drill, drill a small hole. Capacity Fill with water and closed tightly with a lid, fix it well. Then gently turn the bucket and install it on the pallet. Water from drilled small holes will drip and assemble in the pallet. When it rises to the level of the holes, the water will stop flowing. Thus, as soon as the chickens leave all the water, the rinking will be filled with water again.
From the hose
Homemade drinkers for chickens can be made from a garden hose. This type of drinker can be called drip. To do this, take the hose and connect it to the water tap. The second end of the hose bend so that it turns out the loop (the shape of the droplet). Next, it is necessary to hang the hose for a narrow hole in such a height, which will be convenient for drinking an adult chicken or chicken. In the hose, at the bottom with the help of a drill are made small holes. When the crane is turned on, the water will drip very slowly.
Drinking from the hose can not be bended in a drop, and install in the chicken coop, connecting to the container with water and drill small holes under which to substitute small water tanks.
When the street is cool, such structures are built so that water does not freeze them. To do this, under the water container, which was used in the warm season, the wooden podium is substituted on which the light bulb is attached (it is at the bottom of the base). Thus, when the bulb is turned on, it heats up and warms the wooden base, and water in the drinking will always be maintained room temperature.
From plastic bottles
Plastic is a very common material for the construction of various devices with their own hands. It is enough just to build homemade drinking for chickens from plastic bottles. For this we will need:
- two plastic bottles;
- plastic bowl;
- screws;
- screwdriver;
- knife or scissors.
Take one bottle (container two liters) and cut the neck and bottom. We will put it in a bowl, and in it install a bottle of smaller (one and a half liters) down the neck. In this bottle will be water. Cropped bottle must be screwed to the wall with screws.
Nipples
Drinking for chickens of the nipple system can be easily installed independently. Work will not take much time and money.
For the construction of the system to ensure water, it will be necessary:
- Cut of the polyvinyl chloride tube (square section 22 by 22 millimeters), the length of one meter.
- Drapping trays.
- Screwdriver.
- Drill.
- Nipple size 1800 for adult chickens and 3600 for chickens.
- Stub.
- Roulette.
- Water hose flexible.
- Adapter with square on a round tube.
On the segment of the pipe, it is necessary to marker a place where the holes will be drilled. The distance between them should be no more than 30 centimeters. On the segment of the pipe in one meter, placed three nipples, maximum - five. You need to drill the side of the pipe where there are internal grooves. This is necessary so that water does not flow.
Using drill to make holes, the diameter should be 9 millimeters. Cut the thread and screw the nipple into the holes.
One end of the pipe is drowning with a plug. The water container that will flow through the nipple drink can be constructed from a plastic tank with a lid. In his day it is necessary to make holes for the hose and insert it.
Connect the water tank with the hose, install the pipe, drop-motors and micropocliers.
What does the nipple polish system look like for smoke, can be seen in the photo:
