Today I’m offering you two simple and inexpensive tips for your everyday life. These ingenious ideas use materials you probably already have at home, such as PET bottles. Whether you’re feeding your chickens or transporting your eggs safely, these tips will make your life easier!

Tip #1: Build a chicken feeder

Required materials:

  • A large PET bottle (the bigger the better)
  • Strong cord or rope (e.g. mason’s line)
  • A pot lid (or other base)
  • A soldering iron or a tool for drilling holes
  • chicken feed (or corn)

manufacturing steps:

  1. Prepare the bottle   : Cut the bottom of the PET bottle. These cuts will allow the food to gradually flow out.
  2. Drilling Holes   : Using a soldering iron, drill a hole in the bottom of the bottle and two holes in the top to attach the string.
  3. Tie the string tightly   : Tie the string tightly to the bottle with strong knots.
  4. Install the dispenser   : Hang the bottle on a support (such as a pot lid) and fill it with chicken feed. The chickens will peck and the feed will drip out.

Advantages :

  • Economical: Use recycled materials.
  • Practical: The feeding troughs do not have to be constantly refilled.
  • Customizable: Adjust the size of the notches to control food flow.

Tip #2: Transport eggs safely

Required materials:

  • A 2-liter PET bottle
  • alcohol (for sterilization)
  • Owner

manufacturing steps:

  1. Prepare the bottle   : Remove the label and wash the bottle thoroughly.
  2. Make an opening   : Using a cutting tool, cut an opening in the side of the bottle. Make sure your hand can easily go in to place the eggs.
  3. Sterilize   : Clean the inside of the bottle with alcohol to prevent mold growth.
  4. Storing the eggs   : Carefully place the eggs in the bottle. A 2-liter bottle holds about 20 eggs.
  5. Close and transport   : Close the bottle and transport your eggs safely and without the risk of breakage.

Advantages :

  • Safe: Eggs are well protected.
  • Environmentally friendly: Reuse a plastic bottle.
  • Practical: Ideal for travel or storage.
