Remember how our mineral feeder was attached to the end of the milking stand? And how it would get full of poop / the chickens would scratch at the mineral so a lot was wasted?
Well, I finally fixed it.
It was an easy fix, although I tried a couple different ways before I ended up with something I could live with.
Method number one was putting a board across the studs. I didn't love how much the feeders stuck out.
Next I tried a piece of wood between the studs. Better. They still stick out, but not as much.
The best way would be if I could just screw them directly into the plywood wall between the studs.
The problem with that is the plywood isn't thick enough, so the screws would poke through the other side. We definitely don't want that, so I had to settle for method number two.
Now let's see if I hung them high enough to avoid poop getting inside...
