PVC - Not a Monster

I've heard that PVC causes impotence.

Old age causes impotence.

I've heard that PVC causes impotence.

I guess if you drop a piece on your jewels it could cause some serious issues too...

Geesh, a bunch of chickens suddenly show up and now you're wrangling all kinds of monsters, including the biggest of them all: the PVC is Going to Annihilate the World Monster!!

I still have my concerns, but that slim design the cave dweller posted is something I've been considering.

Just in case you end up with a rooster (all hens for now, right?), use a 4" or wider PVC opening. I learned that in a discussion I started somewhere around here. Roosters have problems getting their head package in there and could end up not eating nearly enough food.

Does that bottom piece have a bottom? Or just open to the ground? If it's capped...perhaps filling it with that quick dry concrete stuff to plug it up?

It's capped but left un-pvc-cemented in case it needs cleaning. It was just easier to pop a lid in there as it fit perfectly.

Seriously ? At what age ?

It looks to be capped in the pix. Filling with concrete is a good idea.

Seriously ? At what age ?

Not so much the age but all the drugs for everything else.

Yes, I'm considering the opening for my Mr. King. My handsome man needs extra head room.

Here's a link which shows how the lid fits in before the cap:

I'm thinking maybe having a 4" to 6" adapter to allow for extra head room. I don't need a 6" pipe...but that 6" opening would be nice...
