If you have many chickens and their eggs are an additional source of income, then making a homemade feed cutter is a justified decision.
Market-available devices do not stand out in quality or innovation. Therefore, it’s better to use your ingenuity and make a feed cutter from an ordinary stainless steel bucket.
Firstly, make markings on the bucket. After that, you need to drill the bucket, stamp out the holes, and install the flange, bearings, and seals.
For the feed receiver, you can use another bucket.
Next, weld a metal frame on which all the components of your unit will be mounted.
The drive in the feed cutter is designed to be manual, but you can connect a motor.
In field tests, it proved to be quite a successful device, but it is better to add an electric motor in the future.
