Instructions
Drill six holes at even distances around the bottom of your 5 gallon bucket. Drill them 1/2 inch above the bottom of the bucket and make them at least 1/2 inch to 1 inch in diameter.
Drill a hole the width of the bolt in the center of the bottom of the bucket.
Drill a hole the width of the bolt in the center of the oil or feeder pan.
Set the 5 gallon bucket upright in the oil/feeder pan and screw together with the nut and bolt.
Place your feeder in the coop and pour chicken feed into it. Feed will automatically dispense from the holes.
