Little question about PVC feeder...

[bburn]

My DH is working out of state and I have had many projects that I am trying to do while he is gone (as in he can't stop me, lol).
Built the chicken tractor...yeah, me!

Then I wanted a PVC feeder. I put it together and mounted it inside the coop....don't want it to get rained in.

My question is: does it need to slant down just a little? I did not, and am thinking that it needs a bit of a slant for the feed to flow into the pipe with the hole in it......right?

Thanks for any help....theprojectqueen

Yes, a more open elbow should help it slide down into the feeder part.

Thanks....looks like a little adjusting is in order......

You will probably find that a 45 degree elbow works better than a 90 degree elbow.

After buying what I needed and putting it together and THEN telling my husband he told me there were all kinds of PVC stuff out in the open shed (that I am scared to walk into)....will have to check it out anyway and see what is out there...maybe I will find what I need.
Thanks...
