Chicken Feeder

I wanted to make a chicken feeder that reduced food waste from the chickens flicking the food out of the tray. With the added requirements of keeping water out and making it tough for mice to get to it, I ended up with a hooded hole into a hanging 5 gallon bucket.

Also, I wanted to get some practice with OnShape, so mission accomplished!

I wanted to seal up the terribly holey PLA print so I used some RTV silicone, but that ended up flaking off within a few days. I had to pick it all off to keep the chickens from eating it. Lesson learned!
