These are called Chicken Bump Feeders.

Its a trigger that a chicken pecks at and it bumps the feed to allow it to fall down so he can eat it.

I want to brainstorm on some idea's on how to DIY a few of these.

Usually you just take a bucket and put a hole in the bottom then you put the trigger end through the hole and fill the bucket up with feed.

The cross part holds the trigger in place and the paddle on top stirs the feed.

Then when the chicken hits the trigger at the bottom each time the food gets stirred and some drops out the hole.

This website in the UK sells the ones shown in the Pic

Looks too sophisticated to be DIY dude.
Unless you have the NASA budget at its entirety.
And even then you'd still need to dig deep into the lunar surface to put everything in it...

I am thinking about taking a Coat hanger wire and just bending it into that cross shape and then leaving one end for the trigger that I can put a weight on and then cap it off with a Wine Cork.

That way it will swing when they hit it but they will peck at something soft like the cork instead of a metal washer.
