New PVC feeder...

Nice work and for anyone building a similar device, you can get the pip with a screw-adapted fitting to close off the top

I can only guess, I would say a least 7 lbs of feed and most probably it is closer to 10 lbs. My birds went in the coop Monday and here on Friday it was only a little over half empty. Again I have 6 Sex Links, about 5 weeks old.
My waterer that I had made was nearly close to being empty though. But they seem to play with the water quite a bit, who knows why???

I want one, too - I"m on my way to Lowe's! Neat job!

That's lots better than mine. I really like the way it's worked around a window. Mine fits in a corner, and was very easy to make - no cutting at all.

I might make one of those for the Big Coop, and move this one out to the smaller coop in its covered, attached pen.

Your version would go nicely around the window in this coop.....

gryeyes I have two just like yours, but without the top cap, I have to fill mine daily, so I don't see a need for the top. I like it... fits nicely in a corner and everyone can get to it.

Good ideas, one of these will work well for us...
