    Do you think the system and switches will withstand the dusty conditions associated with chicken feed?

    I cut the bottom off a 5 gallon water bottle to make a large funnel to fill PVC feeders.

    Face it, pellets or crumbles will not be high on their list either if they freerange. You keep referring to the pulverized food as dust... The power you see obviously is the same food as the crumbles or pellets that came from the bag. You are throwing out food... This powered food is...

    You can do what I do, nothing. The dust is food. I wait till all the food is gone before refilling the feeders.

    I cut the top off a 5 gallon water bottle. I actually made several "large" funnels from multiple bottles. They are very useful... The bottoms also make excellent bowls.

    I can see why...sorry. They have access to their fermented (primary) and other (secondary) food sources outdoors. They spend most of their time, and primarily eat, outdoors. This indoor feeder, will last a very long time as their backup (secondary), if their other (secondary) runs out. They...
