Mind me asking how you fill the pipe? from the pictures it looks like the roof access may be a challenge ;)

The ladies have cleaned up their act. The dining area is much more presentable now- no noticeable food waste. Now if we could just conquer the potty training...

Can you post some pictures?

First of all- Shame on you for not reading all the BAGILION posts on this thread. jk I have an enclosed coop and run so I have no dove issues. I suppose if I were Dr. Dolittle I might hear some taunting or something like that but I digress. Is the idea that keeping it up off the ground will...

I agree that the chickens will not be concerned which materials used as long the food keeps flowing. The costs and ease of construction, handling would leave me leaning heavily towards good ol' "polyifalifalene". I would also be concerned with sharp edges being damaging to chicks and their...

Jimmy- I forgot to mention that the pipe doesn't have to be solid schedule 40 PVC- that gets expensive fast. I used a sewer drain pipe that is kinda like corrugated plastic- black on the inside and white on the outside. One end had a bell on it that is made to slip over another pipe end. I just...

As long as it works! I am curious how it is to fill the super tall pipe? I have a hard enough time pouring from the bag into the pipes that are only 4' or so high.

Where abouts are you that you have the moisture issues? I have been pretty fortunate to not have issues with moisture here in Idaho. We have had some spring showers but because the feeders are backed up to a cow barn on the other side of the run there is some protection from the elements. We...

So far so good! they appear to not be spreading it all over the run. Life is good.

We might have solved the scattering issue with 3 caps cut in half. They snapped on the outside of the fitting without needing to glue. The lip appears to be keeping the feed in yet let's the ladies get the feed they want. We also raised the feeders up about 6 inches. I think the combination of...
