Frugal Farming: Milk Jugs on the farm

Recently, we had to isolate hens to see who was laying because we purchased some hens and I am questioning if they are old or just egg eaters! Anyway, we needed some feeders for the hens in captivity and I am to cheap to spend money when we are only making $31-46 per month on these hens in the first place!

I had been saving milk & OJ jugs because I just felt like they me have another purpose and I've found 4 so far!

1. A feed scoop cut off the top and dip. It has a built in handle!

2. An indivdual chicken feeder for chickens that are isolated for one reason or another.

3 To mix fish emulsion & Neem oil when I only need a small amount. I can label them and store them thus eliminating any waste!

4. Chicken poop compost tea ....this is going to be an experiment. A gallon of water and some chicken poop and I'll let them sit in the sun for a month and we'll see what kind of fertilizer it is!

I hope this helps someone other poor begining farmer out!
