Materials and steps to make the chicken feeder
There is not a lot of material we will need:
- A PVC drain pipe of about 1 meter
- two elbows
- a plug
As you can see in the following video, the steps are very simple. We glue the parts with special glue for PVC. We place the glue inside the joints and we do it quickly since the glue melts the material so that the parts adapt better to each other.
The first thing we do is join the two elbows.
Then we add them to the tube.
Finally, we place the cover at the other end of the tube, on the opposite side to where we placed the U that we made with the elbows.
In our case, the tube is the size of the chicken coop, so the cover is outside of it, but this can be adapted to different needs or types of chicken coop.
Finally, what we did was place a piece of wood to hold the feeder up with a metal flange.
And that’s it, we already have a homemade chicken feeder with few materials and very accessible.
