[QUOTE="M.Magis, post: 1329481, member: 14175"] Me and a buddy from work made everything except the motor. I had less than $100 in it, but can’t remember the exact amount. Took an old plastic drum and cut the top and bottom off. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t cut the entire bottom off, just a round hole. I made the frame out of 2x4s. Welded up a piece of round stock to a piece of 1/16” plate and mounted the rotating base to that. The fingers were attached with regular bolts, just shoved the tubing over the threads. There’s more to it than I’m explaining of course, but it went together pretty fast. We’d never done chickens before, and we had 20 done in less than 2 hours. That includes cleaning, gutting, everything. If I get a chance I’ll snap a few pics of it. I’d maybe think of starting with 25 or so before jumping into 100. You’ll learn things about doing the 25 that will make the 100 go smoother. Including raising them, they’re filthy, lazy animals. [/QUOTE]
