Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I have a question about this design. Do you find that your chickens like to perch on the horizontal section of PVC? Or, is it low enough to the ground to prevent that?

Wow!! I'm saving this photo for future reference!

Clever! I'm hoping we can follow this design. Thanks for sharing.

It was easy list of items needed,

1. about 3 feet of 2 inch irrigation pipe
2. one 90 degree sweep, do not use a 90 degree elbow, the sweep allows the feed to flow easier
3. 2 - 2 inch coupling, one end glue and the other threaded for the caps
4 2 caps (threaded)

I put a threaded cap on the bottom so I could take and clean it out when needed. If anyone needs closer pics let me know.

Thanks for the comments.

Glad you addresses the flow issue, that was my first question. Since we built feeder in the past I knew flow didn't work great without a slope in the back.

I'm going to try and make one of these but with a flower pot base as the serving part and decorate the PVC with an added flower looking top somehow, so it looks cute in my run.

Thanks for sharing.
