So I have one and used 2 elbows.
The last few days has been very wet. My bucket is IN the coop.
I put my hand in and scoop extra feed into the elbow to help out the hens just in case. Plus it lets me know that they ARE eating.
Well I put my hand in and it felt wet . Hmmm.
The upper/back part of the elbow is very damp !
Not what I want in the feed and I don't want Mold.
I also have a PVC-Y fitting feeder and this is not an issue on it.
I may be rethinking my feeder depending on the time of year perhaps ?
Others should take a look at your buckets when it is very humid or wet out and see if this is happening to you.
