Plastic bin feeder

[TheOgdensmenagerie]

So I had made those plastic bin feeders with the 90 pvc in it an inch or less off the bottom of the bin. I have 6 holes. It seems like I am having a problem with the feed staying consistently where the flock can get to it. They eat it and a pocket develops so I have to go move the feed and push it into the tubes every day :/

Does anyone have this problem?! Should I scrap this idea and go with a different feeder?! Ideas please.

Make a upside down V so the feed goes to the sides and not the middle. Some times you can find the V's funnels laying around---like a ball park light fixture. According to what size you need---I even bought some from a place like Tractor Supply. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/funnel-with-strainer?cm_vc=-10005 or this https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/hopkins-3-piece-plastic-funnel-set?cm_vc=-10005 this one is over 12" wide https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/delphos-utility-funnel-4-qt?cm_vc=-10005 might be got it in plastic cheaper.
Like this turned upside down with a pvc cap on the center tube---just look for the size you need.
