That's really clever! Did you write the person who posted the video on You Tube to inquire about it?

Gah! This is frustrating me! I know that I have seen the plans for that somewhere online when I was looking for feeder plans...and I cannot find then now!


Edited to say: here it is: https://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-feeders.html
Although it does say specifically that there are no plans, there are some nice close-ups.

There was a guy on here that built a great one. He made it like a hog feeder. It had this shape ^ at the bottom covered with something slippery with a wooden box around it. Hinged top on both sides to add feed. I think he said if held 50 lbs of feed and it had 2 sides the hens could eat from.

This guy was so great to design one from scratch and to post FREE plans on his website.

We used 4" PVC and Wye Piece for the feed... 2" and same for grit and oyster...

Working well so far.
