I like the design and your video is good but three years later, each one of those is about $30+. For my flock of 40... not sustainable.
Good idea, I am going to try to make it for my chicken farm 👍
❤ SUBSCIBED ❤
Your feeders came out awesome 👍 I will definitely be making this style.
Ok I think I have watched every video for this topic. This is the design I am going to build. This meets my needs perfectly.
Super nice job!
This is excellent. The only thing I would add is an inline filtration system. This is what I would like to do. Thanks for the video.
Keeping it real.
That is a very good job done. Just one thing you did wrong, no one should ever use a table saw so carelessly. I hope you never have an accident with a saw because one slip and you change your life forever.
My grandfather actually lost two finger tips in a table saw accident
What is the sizing of the pvc? I’m definitely making this!
I used 3”, and I wouldn’t go any smaller.
How do you keep the water from freezing during the winter season?
Well down better Florida (zone 9), I don’t really have to worry about that. You could try a live stock heater in the winter though perhaps
Thanks so much & thank your for your helpful content!
Great design! Just what I needed.
Ask Santa for a jigsaw and blades
Point made lol
How long can the water be in the barrel before it's too stale for them?
Love your idea..I'm going to try to make one. love my Chickens 🐔. Thanks.
Awesome
I totally love all parts of your plywood plug hack but to be honest, the whole project was awesome, including being able to lift the unit off without unscrewing anything. I have NO chickens right now but, maybe... If I can make it all this easy, probably.
Get those chicks! Feed them in a catfood dish and get the regular chick water bottom, screws on a mayo jar or regular mouth glass jar.
Wear protective gear!! Gloves!
That’s nice 😊❤❤❤
Well done. But gotta keep birds and rars out too. Hmmm
this was the best tutorial i have seen so far
The angle bracket is what thickness and what size bolt and how long?
The angle is maybe 1/8” thick. I think I used 1/4” x 1” bolts.
@@redbeardhomestead I've seen where some have cut the bottom edge of the wye. Is there some reason you didn't? And have you seen any problem with them feeding?
I would think if you cut the bottom edge off, it would allow for food to spill out. I have not had any issues with the chickens eating out of it. That’s the beauty of the adjustability. Set it low and raise it. You will know it’s too low when they keep knocking all the fees out of it.
Why didn't you use you table saw to cut the pipe? Just asking.
Too long/heavy to support and get a clean cut. Sawzall gives you better control I feel
@@redbeardhomestead I use my table saw to cut pvc all the time. If l have a really long piece I get my wife or one of the children to help support it. Oh well, to each his own. Good project by the way. Good luck with your homesteading!
Man all that expensive looking equipment aost discouraged me a bit 🤣 I think I'll get your concept and try and make it with Less tools. Lol
I just made this and man I got to say that this is some good jerky. sweet yet it has some good spice to it thanks for the video definitely keeping this recipe.
Milwaukee Saw-Zall. Hell yea.
Hi I like the way you do
You have to pess the foot against your work. And whenever possible keep the factory cut end on the piece you keep.
Hello, how many chickens can each feeder accommodate? I can't wait to make it. Thanks
I’ve had as many as fifteen at one time. It takes about 3.5-4 gallons of feed, so the more chickens using it the more often it will need filled.
Good job. How do you fill the tubes without spillage? Thanks…
I use a scoop from tractor supply and let it poor out the corner… but you can use a canning funnel.
. You might consider a canning funnel to minimize spillage when you are filling the feeder. A plastic one will run under $5 usually, cheaper at a garage sale or thrift store.. I can't pour out of a feed sack and hit a 4 inch hole.
Neither can I 😂 I tried a Poland spring gallon jug with the bottom cut out for a large funnel. Honest waste of time although it helped a little. Now the 5 gal. Jug mounted atop the pvc tube I found d is the ultimate funnel! Hope it helps !
I have a similar design used a sanitary Tee instead. Cut out a plug for the bottom used a bucket lid and the shoved a piece of pipe in after it works great.
I was going to change to the y pipe. I used 4” pipe, then attached a 90 then attached a 45. Issue is when we get sideways rain the feed got all wet. I did install a plastic curtain that can be raised and lowered, but I might not always be around when it rains. I was thinking that y you have would work. I bought one yesterday but haven’t filled it yet. Which leads me to my question, does the food just pour out the y even facing the y up? I did originally have a T and it was 90 degrees and it just poured right out, never stopping.
I’ve never had an issue with feed running out. But if it is hung too low, the chickens will “scratch” it out and waste food. Hang it up high enough that the ladies can see into it. If you have young chicks then make sure you raise it up as they get older.
You didn't show how it works.
I’m cheap but for $10 bucks I’d have bought the caps.
You don’t have a band saw? Don’t let your shop teacher see you free handing on a table saw.
Longer blade no ...
This is an excellent tutorial and all, but bro you’re a SURGEON with that table saw! Respect!
Don’t forget to pick up a wide mouth funnel to pour the feed into the pipe.. makes it go faster with no waste/mess.. I have this system.. works well.. I have a plug to put in to prevent bugs/rodents from getting into the pipe also..
Nice UA-cam too many power tools in a little bit overdone now
Great idear .
You work a conscientiously and neat.
Thank you so much I made the Jerky and it was fantastic.
So how exactly do the chickens eat the food that's all the way at the bottom of the feeder?!? I want imagine that food will go bad in time. Personally I don't think this is a very good design because of that.
Use a chop saw to cut PVC if you have it. Makes a clean cut. Not a miter saw that is made for wood. There is a difference.
Brilliant! 👍🏻
Gotta be the most dangerous way to build a chicken feeder I’ve ever seen... and I love it!!! 😂
I like the simple design. thanks for sharing
.
Thank you. Very good directions.
