Nice. I like the overhead shield setup on the pipes. It allows them to reach in easily while shielding from any possible weather.

At least 4, maybe 6 if you have space in the tote. I haven't seen any problem getting them to figure it out. Once they get past any initial fear of the big new "thing", they'll be curious and likely take to it very quickly. If you want, you can place a few pellets in each feeding tube and...

Those look better. Just be sure to check them when your chickens arrive and verify that they can reach everything. :thumbsup

Nice. Fill it and see how they do. It might be kinda high for them on top of that block. If so, just put it on some smaller bricks.

Yeah, I consider this system a low-spill, not no-spill solution. I have one dumb bird that always grabs 1-2 pellets, drops them on the ground and then eats them from the ground. :confused:

@Gimpy Quail - Take a look at the video I posted above. If you reverse your feed pipes, that might be all you need.

Exactly. Here is a very good video showing the construction procedure (slightly different from mine), but perfectly fine. You can see the chickens feeding in the last minute.

The general setup looks good. I would personally cut about half (but not all) of the expanded section at the bottom of the elbow. Having to reach in prevents the vast majority of feed waste. The length of the pipe pointing down makes it harder for the feed to spill into the spot where the...

It will work very well. In fact, the curve down to feed is designed to minimize chickens natural habit of flicking around food and wasting a lot of feed. It is designed for adult chickens only.
