Danny takes you step by step on how he builds a pig feeder. Plus how the piglets react to the new feeder. #diypigfeeder #barrel #cheappigfeeder ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ Please watch: "SPRING Into Action" • SPRING Into Action ~-~~-~~~-~~-~
That's a nice feeder. It started out as a little piggy playhouse. Take another one of those barrels and make a piggy autowaterer. Thank you for the video.
I just knew that the little piggies would go inside. How funny! They'll soon be big enough that they won't be able to fit their whole bodies in the opening. Please update us on the success of your design as they grow up.
Hysterical! Loved it. But... they won't be little pigs long. Pigs grow fast, they will be tossin' that barrel around like a toy in a few months and wearing it like a hat! I have to say, you are quite talented, was so impressed with your idea and execution! Very nice work!!
Great idea for a feeder, Danny. For my chickens, I use plastic, 2 liter, soda pop bottles to make feeders. Us country folk use what we have or can get cheaply. Blessings to you and Wanda.
Having raised them before, there's nothing cuter than baby pigs. What's also fun is putting a soccer ball sized ball in a round galvanized water tub and watch them hit it back and forth. Pigs are great entertainment.
This is hilarious! Wish we were there! Maybe this will warm my Danny to piggies!! I had just commented Wanda is about to give one of them her boot(gently of course) and you did! We fell out laughing!! Danny, you put in a lot of time and effort into these piggies. I wish PETA could see how much they are loved! Love y'all!! L
I didn't kick at the piggies! I was moving dirt that he threw at my feet. Piggies just run when I moved. LOL I knew it would look like that. But it was just dirt I was kicking at.
+Deep South Homestead Wanda, don't you make me come over there....kickin those babies...smh. I hate knowing that I have those same barrels in my shop just sitting there waiting for a ride to Wiggins! - Dan Loved this vid btw... 👍
First, LOVE THIS! So clever! Second, I knew at least one would try to climb in there, but what I didn't know was what happened next. OMGosh! Hysterical how they would freak out and coming barreling out! Great video!
Perhaps one of Danny's books should be on feeders. I notice they are all over Danny when he's close; I bet if he'd let them they would crawl up in his lap!
Just got this old baby pig feeder video this is very cute and useful but boy are those little guys curious love them chasing The rake and then them getting inside the pig feeder soon they'll be too big to do that
That is such a great idea! And i love the "use what you have" technique to put it all together. But i got to tell you, i dont think i have ever laughed so hard at little pigs!!! That was priceless!! =)
thanks for video please if you get time Saturday on your live show talk about what kind of pigs these are and why you like them thanks this is Eric from Alabama
Pretty awesome Danny, but are you concerned at all about then getting inside of it so much? It seems like that they would track a lot of mud and debris inside there.
I'll be honest; looks really good, but, well, you'll see soon enough. It's fun to get the tools out, but you'll be back at the drawing board pretty soon. Look forward to a reply in a couple of months.... and please do. Make sure you have a lasso.
This feeder would be good for creep feeding piglets that are being weaned but still housed with their mother they could get the food but not the mother pig
The quickest way to get a pig to gain weight is to put another pig in the same pen to compete for feed. Did you cut the bores yet. Raising pigs was a big part of my childhood.
The babies had me laughing so hard. This was a great ideal for the feeder. They will outgrow this pin pretty fast at this rate. Danny do you guys do your own butchering? I never could do the hogs and cows had to send them out for that. We did all the chicken and rabbits at home.
Success, Danny and Wanda! That was entertaining and I applaud your design. Personally, I could just hear, "Food Guy", "Hey, Food Guy" and "Where's breakfast?" in amongst the rootin' and snufflin'. Thanks for this video. By the way, why did you instruct us to put our corn seeds in the freezer for a couple of weeks? I did it, but am curious if it's to kill any six-legged stowaways and their potential offspring.
Hey Danny, can you give me an update on this pig feeder design please? I wanted to see how it was working out after 6 months use? Would you do any modifications? Is it holding up? Can bigger pigs / hogs get to the feed easily? Did the separation help with the fighting when they are eating? I am needing to update my feeder and wanted to see. Also I feed slop and wanted to see if you did as well and if you poured it down the tube where you pour the feed. Thanks in advance from Chile. Jim
Our 3 pigs are about 100 lbs and they are doing good with it. We do put slop down the tube. The plastic is holding up and no I wouldn't make any modifications. It is good for small pigs and up to 3 large pigs. Thanks
That is a good idea and it looks like you did a great job putting it together. I really appreciate your attention to detail. Where do you get your silicone substitute (big box store or order)?
Thats a good feeder, but I found the weaker piglets didn't get to eat much. I had to start throwing back around the pen. I also would throw in small pieces of cut wood for the to mutilate...lol
Wow. That's some nice feeder. What did to call the sealant that you put around the feed pipe? What a hoot those little ones are eating from the feeder. Had a great laugh.
I got hubby to watch this one with me and we are both cracking up watching those little pigs go all the way in the feeder and scurrying out. We are wondering if this type of feeder would work for adult pigs though? Our adult pigs are a smaller breed called Idaho pasture pigs (IPP). We currently have 3, and are having to supplement their feed because apparently the pasture(s) we have them rotating in wasn't enough, because they look small or not very heavy even for their breed. We can't see their ribs so not that bad, but they root and this breed was created to not root, but they have ever since the first day we got them. Anyway, we are looking for a cheaper solution to a stable feeder that they don't knock around and doesn't hold water. Thanks!!
Deep South Homestead the feeder was genius and a great repurpose but the piglets were the show. I've seen it again and I'm still laughing they are so cute. 😄
