DIY Large Port Feeders
These DIY Large Port Feeders to work for our largest birds, including Black Copper Marans Roosters. We use them with the large plastic trash cans from Tractor Supply but you can put them into other Tub type totes. The TS cans are sturdy, hold 3 bags of feed and have worked best for our flocks.
