    Help with Coop Design

    Are you sure you were looking at the correct stuff? Because at Lowe's a wye is 5 bucks... and the 10' is around $13. These were the 4" PVC. I also know my local hardware store will have shorter PVC pipe for cheaper from cuts they have made, so I could pick up a 4 or 5' length for a couple...

    Can't hurt to try!! Especially for a fairly cheap design like the PVC feeder :)

    I read some good things about this design and how it helps stop wasteing food! I'm going to be building one of these here soon.

    If it wasn't for the fact that I'd probably squish them, I'd have them all cuddled up in my arms forever! :p I just love fluffy little chicks.
