Wasted chicken feed drives me nuts and I was determined to build a better feeder than those commercially available. After much research, contemplating dozens of designs and several iterations of my own, I am now happy with my feeder. There are no longer piles of wasted grain on the floor, which makes me, my chickens and my feed budget happy. I made my feeder, and you can make one too, for approximately $12.00 and in 20 minutes or less.

This is the finished feeder in my “Little Deuce Coop.”

MATERIALS LIST:

-A PVC pipe or irrigation tubing, cut to the length that will fit your chosen location. (I used a 4″ wide pipe for the feed and a smaller one for the oyster shell, various sizes will work)
-A PVC pipe cap for the top. (I used a 4″ cap, found in plumbing section of Home Depot)
