There are many versions of this feeder. I used your plan and it's feeding chickens now. It's the best and smartest design yet. The secret to this one is that it doesn't let the level of the feed get high enough for the chickens to pull it out on the ground. Well done.

This is the BEST variation of this type of feeder that I have seen! Thank you for sharing! The little rain cap, overhang is the ticket! Excellent!

This is really good. I’ll be making this soon. Only thing I’m going to change is the bottom cap. I’m going to put a screw in cap for clean out just in case it does get wet. Thanks for the video. Amazing ideas

Great video. One suggestion. To guarantee water proofing, twist glued parts slightly when connecting them. It will smear the glue for a total seal.

Awesome! We've had ducks and chickens for about five years now and this is the best feeder I've seen so far. Thank you. Nice beard too.

I’ve seen many of these homemade feeders but usually they are just J shaped with no awning to keep water out and no consideration for the spillover. These two features of your design are really important so I think I’m going to follow your lead when making mine. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for posting this, and I hope you get some pleasure out of knowing that two years later I found it when I needed it, and am off to Lowe's to buy the parts. My new Runner ducklings will be happy to have it.

YES man, the reducer is the problem solver for all the other feeders designed this way. Great tip, great vid. I don't think I'll glue the bottom cap though, we have above average brutal sun and heat but rain evedes us most of the time so thank you for your thoughtful work. Send rain.

Thanks for sharing your ideas. This video is so good that even a non English speaking person can understand what to do and however your speech is very good and easy to understand. Greetings from Italy.

Really like your feeder. Thanks for doing such a good job of explaining each step.

Great design. I had to experiment with the length of the inner pipe till I got it just right on the feed but I've been using it for a year and it's been working great. Thanks for the great idea.🐔🐔🐔

Excellent video. Love the detail you showed. Thank you

Hi Chris, thanks for this video, can't wait to put it together. My suggestion would be to put a list of the parts for this set up in the video description. thx again

Hi Chris Graham, your video is well made. It's easy to understand. Great idea 👍

One thing you can do under the cap is cut a few kerf cuts like a plus sign down the sides not too far where the cap won’t cover, it makes it easier to take the cap off, it’s a small detail but it could be helpful to some. Nice video by the way, I like the way you made it with a built in awning!

Love your pool.. I miss mine so much!!!

I have made the same feeder and my chickens found a way to make them spill lol, they drag out the pellets all over the floor and eventually eat it but have to clean up the spillage as they "contaminate" it and it becomes waste. I use it indoors as the field rats love the leftovers outside. Great idea for a feeder though since it's cheaper than almost all online feeders. I also added little stainless handles for the cap for easier removal.

Great job Chris! Another awesome DIY project!

Just the instructions I was looking for. Saw this design, knew it was perfect, couldn't figure out how to install the leveling off pipe (have no idea what to call it). Thanks!

Thanks Chris good job .

Chris good day 🌄 amazing diy chicken water proof feeders.watching here in the philippines.god blessed your whole family.

Best one i seen like yours to waterproof was taking a 5 gal bucket, cutting 2/3 in half and using it as a rain cover for feed.

Thanks! Just did this for my girls, brilliant design.

GREAT VIDEO BRO... CLEAN AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT 🐤🐥🐔❣️

That is a 3" test cap you put in the bushing. Could save a couple bucks if you just used a scrap piece of 4" at the bottom with a 4" test cap. Also by cutting it yourself you can decide how tall it stands off the ground.

Just did this and so far working out great except one chicken keeps shoveling out the feed making a huge pile but definitely a lot easier to feed them and no more going into the coop and handling the nasty feeders. Thanks Bro! I found a 4" wye at Lowes that had a bottom screw in type bottom so just bought a screw in cap.

thank you...building this one for sure! Thanks

The shirt... I'm dying.. 😄

I made two but used leftover green sewer pipe instead of the white pvc. I think the sewer pipe is cheaper if you are buying new.

Love the glitter beard!

Silicon or clear gasket sealer to stop water & is easily removable if necessary

The project you did very well

Go to the duckmanjoel duckling waterer and see how you can improve on it. Must use hard plastic for your inner jug or the sun etc. will cause it to collapse. Good luck!

Good design, thanks for the video.

werent you in the Hobbit? Sure you were! As one of the dwarves. thanks for the vid

I love your idea and so well explained. I will definitely be giving this a go. Do you think something like that Would also work for water, or do you have an idea for water that would last about a week ?

Great job Chris! We just finished building our coop & will be getting chicks soon. I will eventually be making this feeder. However, I was wondering what you do to clean it when it needs to be cleaned? If the individual parts were removable, it would easy to wash it out and dry it. I'll have to figure that one out. Thanks for the idea! 👍👍🐓🐓

Awesome!!!❤️👍from india

🥇 The Best & easy chicken feeder. 💐

Could we use a double wye pipe so it can be accessed from both sides?

Great idea yes! 🥰

Use Schedule 40 pipe. Much thinner.

Put a guard across the front to prevent spilling

Hot air gun loosens the glue and you can open seems and replace that bottom piece

Nice feeder, but i'm also interested in your waterer in the background

Nice duck, Zangieft

This may actually be THEBEST DESIGN! Thanks a ton, i'm modifing to fill outside the coop, and the run; thanks great job! On another note, you don't sound like you look... if that a thing, no offense just wanted to be different and add content. Thanks again great job!!

Not chicken or duck related😎 what beard products do you use your beard is look great😎 I just stared growing mine for the first time😂

Love this idea! My only concern is mice getting into the food😩

Chris where did you get the 3" cap you put on the inside? BTW, this is by far the best DIY chicken feeder!

Check out the KZfaq vogger Brenton his channel is called fanatic and he has a lot of building with pipes for his ducks and all other kind of animals you should check that out

Super

Start planning a bigger Coupe soon chickens are habit-forming😁

You could plug it too do rats can't eat the food

How many chickens will one of your feeders support?

probably already in the comments but I think I would leave the bottom unglued in case it needs cleaning.

Adapter have to be a 1 1/2 in? Can if be a 3 or 2 in?

How would you close it up at night to keep any animals out of it if you live it out at night

How many of these should you get for multiple chickens? Like 1 for every 3 or 2? I wana do this for mine. I have 12

did you use pressure pipe? that is sooo expensive vs pvc

How does this one compare to the other one you have in the background of your video @ 8:00 ?

How many chickens would u recommend can feed from each feeder?

Sorry to be extremely BLANT. 1) As slick as this looks, there will definitely be a spill, chickens do not eat with forks and knives with all table manners. 2) because this feeder has plenty of food inside, that is an invitation for rodents and other little birds to pester the chicken. 3) This long pipe seems to be awful long, that would not fit inside my coop. 3) the inside of the pipe is dark for the chicken to see because she puts her whole head inside and the shoulders block light. What I did for my Rhode Island whites, KISS. Keep it Simple & Sweet (not stupid). I have 2 feeders. One is 1½ Gallon with 4 holes. Because one hen is a bully she wants to eat alone almost and chases away the others. So I got this 2-gallon pail from the hardware store for less than $15.00. including lid. I made 2 holes; in the middle, I glued a separator so the 2 chickens could not see each other while they fed and there was no pecking. The 2 docile hens will stay in the Airbnb coop, and the other quarrelsome and feisty ones will be moved to the little Alcatraz coop which has plenty of room for 2 hens and a cozy and ample egg nest and good run. I used a utility knife and a file. The End.

I made two of these following your video. I have the pvc tube inside coming down farther. The chickens are still spilling the feed all over. Did this function as a no spill feeder for you?

Expensive than feeders online

My chicken still pull the feed out on the ground

What about all the food that sits at the bottom?

Do you have a water pump for the Ducks Ducks needs water

Do you have a watering system video?

i wonder if it would work for water as well?

Does this help deter sparrows?

Good design. The inner cup needs a plug to prevent.rodents getting to the food at night

Do you have a video of the pvc water you have?

Where is the silver laced hen?

Is there a cap sold that I could close it up at night to keep the bugs out?

Built 2 of these and the chicken pull all the feed out 🤔

This works well except I have one White Leghorn hen that forks the food out of the silo with her beak until it all. runs. out:(🤪

do you have mice/rats getting into the feed using this design?

Is the glue safe for the birds?

What kind of ducks you have?

hey

I don't see how this is no spill?

Good video. Next time skip the stupid repetitive music. Thanks

Thanks for this! Works great for us as one of our feeders! See how we used here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJije9CGspjGcoU.html

This is BS I spent $72. Dollars at lowes and build me one. What a waste of money. My chickens still wasting food. Like crazy
