Exactly. I'm sure with some experimenting I could get something that would work but was looking for someone that already had worked out the calculations so I didn't waste any buckets or buy fittings that ultimately didn't work.

I haven't read the thread yet that you linked but ya I tried a few various PVC elbow feeders without the success I wanted with chicks. I've also made a few feeders about like the bucket funnel one. I used a bucket in a bucket with a PVC type funnel. They either still pulled feed out or throw too...

Were those 2" elbows? Do you remember?

:lau Yes you remember correctly.but I've cut down to 1/2 a bed load or so. Love the large runs but my poor truck does not. It reminds me of that on hills, curves and when stopping. The incubator holds 246 at full capacity. Luckily I get quite a few clear eggs or I'd be in real trouble.

IDK. 30 or so when they're young. Maybe 50 or 60 when they're older juveniles. I was figuring on more then one feeder per brooder.

@HSmith28 She must have bought one of your feeders huh?

@Granny23 why the 😡?

Ya you're talking but not saying anything. I think it would be reasonable to assume you're not here to be helpful in any way. Thanks for your participation.

No pics? No details? Just wanted to stop in and tell us about making money?

With feed prices what they are now I'd like to cut waste down to next to none. Anyone using no waste bucket feeders for various age chicks? I've saw a couple threads and have some ideas but the threads don't have much details about the build or if they ultimately worked well. Ideas are good but...
