For most, this is a simple EASY chicken feeder. For people who love to complain it’s a rat feeder. Chicken Coop building- Building a Chicken Run Fence. Tougher than it looks! • Building a Chicken Run...
I don't care what feeding system you have, rats will come unless you make efforts to ensure they don't. For example, I built my chicken run on a cinder block foundation which no rats will be getting through. Then, I have hardware wire all around the run and coop that goes a full 3 feet out. The bigger concern I have with what he did is water getting into the holes. I'm not sure what he's done to mitigate that.
I tried this and the food barely made it a few inches past the 90 degree elbow. Do not recommend. I ended up with a vertical pvc with a 90 and a 22.5 at the bottom to make a J shape.
You would have to angle the feeding section downward or little to no feed will reach any of the holes.
Certainly would’ve helped
Get ready to have
several visits from rats. They’ll for sure what a piece of this party.

Squirrels have been my main guests, the feeder is under cover so it stays dry

A regular chicken feeder is the cheapest and easiest. I had a free pipe
@outsiderabb nah this design is just bad, needs to t at the bottom there was never a chance of food making it to the last hole
Bad idea,no way to keep the rodents out
