I added a tray underneath, most of the feed they spill is caught in the tray and they eat it up.

I really like that setup. How high off the floor is your feeder bucket on top of those bricks?
I have my feeder bucket hanging from above so that the PVC port is about the level of the chickens' backs. There is very little spillage on the floor, but the chickens will eat that up as well, so it has never been an issue for me.
Your setup with the catch tray looks like an improvement over just hanging the bucket. Great idea.
I am really scratching my head on the report by @TexasBlues that there is a lot of waste with this PVC bucket feeder system. I hope there is something we can see in any pictures if posted. It just runs contra to my personal experience of over 4 years using this type of feeder.
