In this video I review the dumbest chicken feeder on amazon. It is a simple DIY Kit that includes four feeder assemblies and a hole saw. The only item needed is a storage container like a 5 gallon bucket or a large plastic trash can.
It is a great deal for 21.99. Let's see how it works!

Run the Hole Saw in reverse. You'll get a clean hole and no broken wrists.

A very disappointing feeder. The ports don't curve down on the inside, so the chickens knock lots of food out when they peck at the food in the tube. It leaves a big mess on the floor/ground and wastes lots of food. Pass on this and just go with the PVC pipe version.

I made a feeder with a tractor supply 5 gallon bucket, 3 90 degree 3" pvc pipe, and pvc cement. Came out great, hardly any feed spillage. Hangs from a chain and they dont perch on it. Cost was around $40 and should last years!

If you are keeping food in front of the chickens at all times, so they never run out (layers and layer replacements), the four holes should be plenty for most small backyard flocks.

I used 4 gallon square buckets. Depending on the thickness of the buckets, the round ones don't want to seal that well.

I bought the kit and they waste a LOT of feed. Not happy with it at all

I have one of these that the girls have used for 3 years. Works well

All of those things are the same basic design and work very well. I use them myself but fair warning. If you have roosters like Copper Marans that have huge beautiful combs you'll need to make other provisions for them because they can't get their heads in the feeder ports.

I’m using a rectangle or a square bucket the kind that you get with dry laundry soap or cat litter. You have more options with that

If you go to the bakery section of your grocery store some of them will give or sell you very cheaply, food grade frosting buckets. They come in 2 gal, 3.5 gal, and 5 gal sizes. Clean them up

You don't ever want to hang one of these feeders. The swinging with a birds head in the hole can injure them. I've used a home made one of these (using pvc 90s) in a 55 gallon drum for a flock of meat birds for years. Works just fine. You just need to make sure the ratio of openings to birds is correct.

Next time you drill do it and reverse it won’t jump on you

Would it work if you put the bowl shaped part that you put inside facing down, to put it on the outside but facing up like a little bowl for them to eat out of? You could probably fill it a lot more since bowl shape would prevent it from overflowing. Not sure if that make since. Broilers are next up on my list. Nice video bro keep it up!

@appalachianjack99 2 жыл бұрын

I tried it that way, but the shape basically funnels it all out like a water slide. Literally falls through. That was my thinking also, but it failed big time, especially when moving them every day

I have a medium tub with the same pipes. My 16 week buff’s have made a horrible mess and wasted a lot of food. It sets on blocks. I have a hanging small bucket with the same pipes and there is very little waste.

Thanks brother. It will serve its purpose!

@pershop4950 2 жыл бұрын

You showed the installation, which is nice and easy. I can see that without a lip outside, there could be spillage as the chicken is pecking in on the food, and even with small babies like this, as you said, it only allows one chicken head in there. In your use, how was it for the laying hens?

@appalachianjack99 2 жыл бұрын

It would work great if you feed continuously, but feeding once per day is not ideal because only a few can access the feed holes while the others fight to get it

They are junk. The nut will not tighten. Allows chickens to scatter feed.
