Take a look

That's not my normal mix in it , it is a youngbird mix as that was all the farm had last week when I went

[Buster121]

That looks great, Buster.
You might be on a winner there.

Hope so, will see how it goes and then order some more and change others

[Buster121]

Looking good mate. It’s be interesting to see how they take to it and whether they still managed to select certain grains.

Well really pleased with how it went, hardly any grains on floor and plenty been eaten from it, think maybe needs to go little higher so will try to make a little frame or attach some legs to raise about an inch then if all well will put higher on other hoppers

Looks like a winner. WD mate.

Good job Buster well done mate. I have a hopper that I could potentially do that too, once I've sorted out the loft roof I might have to give it some thought

I have thought about making a trough to try instead of hopper as then could be thinner and longer and wouldn't need to leave slanted piece in as I do in the hopper

[Buster121]

Will say mess is deffo less went in this morning and about 10 grains about so much, much less than the hoppers

You haven't sorted out the roof?!
Trev!

Sadly not mate and as we've had quite a wet Summer it's not been great
I didn't have the money to do it before racing started and wasn't going to do it once racing had started so hopefully once we are finished I can crack on and get done before the winter sets in

I sent you a link for some good but cheap polythene sheeting perfect for it and would have given you some time to save, the company is QVS and I had an email this morning saying they had a sale on and it was for the cheapest polythene around, look em up Trev as I deleted the email earlier

Thanks mate, I'll have a look

I sent it ages ago when you first on about roof but had another email this morning from QVS and have started a topic for it

[Buster121]

After using the hopper now for a good week or more have to really pleased with it and the get the seed from bottom better as well, going to order some more and put them in all sections
going to try some on an empty grit tub that holds 10kg and a bucket with a lid on see how they go

[Buster121]

the problem i have is not throwing the corn out of the feeder but just leaving it

Not sure I understand what you're saying George, if you mean the birds chucking it out very little comes out and does get eaten the good thing with these is they can be shut off at night to keep rodents out
