Metal chicken feed container update
We’ve been using a modified metal trash can to store chicken feed for 5 years.
That new trash can shine is gone, but the silicone seal at the handle continues to keep water out.

Rodent proof chicken feeder
These PVC chicken feeders are a good way to store a whole bag of feed.
If you have an issue with rodents stealing the food at night put a cap on the entrance while the chickens are sleeping.
What would be nice is a motorized lid that would open back up at sunrise.

Drawbridge chicken coop door opener
This is the first draw bridge coop door opener I’ve seen.
It has the added benefit of working as part of the entrance ramp.
The motor is a common electric car window mechanism that can be found on Ebay and the Youtube video has a nice component animation that explains each piece and where it goes.
