great project. A couple of potential improvement ideas. The base is way too big and feed will stagnate and rot in there as it will not be consumed. You'd have to remove the cap regularly etc. If you cut the bottom section away with a saw and just plug the whole with a circular wooden/metal piece that is glued or screwed in, the feed will not stagnate. Also note that you don't need to glue the pieces together. They are tight fitting. Thank you for the excellent idea.

Great video! I can see where we all need to modify your idea to make it fit our needs. I need caps to close up the pipes not only for rain but to prevent the rats from eating the food at night! Thank you so much!! 👍🏼

Nice video and a great idea. The three things I would do differently are to place the tube outside the coop, that way I don't have to step inside, I would cover the top of the PVC with a loose cap, and make it low enough to pour the bag inside the PVC. SO I don't have to fill the pipe one scoop at a time. I notice yours seem to close to the top of the coop ceiling and takes longer to fill the feeder. Other than that great concept.

I have seen "wye" fitting feeders but this is the first double-wye that I've seen. Great job. Probably can skip the glue, you only need that for high-pressure water flow.

Good concept as others have said. I agree base is too big and feed will stagnate and get moldy introducing harmful bacteria. The other thing no one has said is rain storms will easily wet.soak the feed and will cake.A rain shield can help with that.

My chickens eat it down to the bottom no problem. I have 15 and they eat so much I had to make several more. Also my feeders dont get wet as they are covered by tin roof inside the coop.

Good design, but I would suggest that you just use a couple of screws to hold the preices together. That way you take apart to clean. You don't need glue as it does not have to be water proof

The plumbing fittings used here cost much more than a store bought chicken feeder, but I think the extra cost would be justified if you routed your pipe outside. This way you wouldn’t need to enter the coop to add the feed. Thanks tor the idea.

Yes the cost of things have definitely increased since I made this video years ago. But being only 40mins from the factory that makes the pvc a little cheaper here for me personally just depends on where you live.

I see that the hens are easily pushing their heads inside, but what about the roo and his big comb? Does he just push his head in and bend his comb? Can you say whether roos with big combs might need a bigger opening than a 2-inch hole?

really just depends on the size of your feed. is it pellets, crumbled, or scratch? I'd say mine hold rouly a lil over 10lbs of feed. . the taller you riser pipe the more you can fit.

Yeah it's one of those cut to fit your coop kind of things. I just show you the basics you gotta figure out how you're gonna set it up in your coop. As far as putting a cap on it, mine doesn't need one because it's under a covered tin roof inside my coop. My coop stays nice and clean so I don't mind walking in there to fill it, And glue is a must think about it 50lbs of feed weighing down on a non glued fitting and two hungry chickens pecking down, yeah it's gonna fall off eventually and have feed everywhere. Trust me I've been plumbing for 6 years now, I can look at a non glued fitting and it just pop off lol
