We built these chicken feeders 3 years ago and absolutely love them! They are easy to build and store weeks worth of food. The number of feeders you need depends on your flock size.

Here are the J-Tube Chicken Feeder Plans ⬇ www.masondixonacres.com/products/automatic-chicken-feeder-plans

@spoonnwithsunshinehomestead Год назад

We will probably try this version. It appears to be the best version of the PVC Feeders that I've seen. Thanks for sharing 😊

@MasonDixonAcres Год назад

We’ve been really happy with the design! It’s easy to build and works well 👍🏻🥰

@gregdille3723 Год назад

New to raising chickens, got everything but the chickens ready to go. This feeder seems like the best idea from all the other possibilities I've looked at. Thank you for the idea, especially the drainage adaptor to keep feed from spilling out by chicken scratch. Built 2 last night. My only issue was finding the thin 4" pipe and accompanying fittings. Spent 4 hours going all over town from Home Depot to irrigation specialty shops. Ended up finding everything in stock at the Ace Hardware right down the street. Material to make 2 feeders was $84. Thank you. Appreciated the video.

@anthonylewis9572 Год назад

Looks like good set up. Thanks

@jasonhjohnson 3 месяца назад

This worked great! It did seem like the feed was too far in there for them to get at so I just removed the gutter adapter piece. Maybe the type of feed I use doesn't trickle down as far. Thanks!

@gregs9187 Год назад

Or detachable but language is tough😂

@jamesbrigham2869 Год назад

This looks like a great idea. Going to make some. I couldn’t find the link for the feed. I love Scratch and Peck feed that’s all I’ve given my girls.

@aerozoche703 11 месяцев назад

I like that you used the 45 deg elbow "upstream" and the 90 deg at the mouth, which seems like it would facilitate feed to flow down to the bottom. Most examples I've seen do the opposite.

@MasonDixonAcres 11 месяцев назад

Yeah this layout helps the flow for sure. By the time it reaches the sharp 90, it's at a spot where the chickens can reach in and pull it out

@josemagana114 11 месяцев назад

I love this ima make it tomarrow❤

@jamesgray8294 Год назад

Very cool! And the cat is awesome.

@MasonDixonAcres Год назад

Kodak is the best! He always likes to be part of the action. He especially loves hanging out with me in the garden (although sometimes he tries to roll on my plants 😅) - Elaina

@paulf1157 6 месяцев назад

My chickens will eat 5 days of food in 3 days...... and use metric mate.

@ScottEmmert1980 Год назад

Great idea! Id just like to make a suggestion. I'm a plumber and have worked with ALOT of PVC. You could probably get away with not even gluing the fittings. Just push the fittings on as tight as you can and i challenge you to take them back apart. I usually only work with schedule 40 though . that glue and primer can get nasty and smell for a long time.

@MasonDixonAcres Год назад

Thank you! Our first iteration didn’t use glue and moisture can wick through the joint and makes the food moldy at the bottom

@franciscoestrada483 Год назад

Thanks for sharing, it sure beats having to feed the girls on a daily basis. Thanks again.

@anniegaddis5240 3 месяца назад

How do you prevent rodents from getting in?

@frontiersurvival-1 Год назад

Great project indeed. New friend here!

@MasonDixonAcres Год назад

Thank you!! Super easy project that takes a ton of work off of any chicken keeper.

@BryanRoaming 2 месяца назад

how's this work with water?

@johnnyherrera6814 8 месяцев назад

Sweet

@DesiJugaarDIY Год назад

How about rain , since its facing up ? Or you have it in rain proof area ?

@MasonDixonAcres Год назад

The ends of the 'J' falls under our coop so ours stay clear of rain. We recommend this setup if you have something raised you can mount them to!

@XxBloggs 11 месяцев назад

I’ve tried this sort of feeder but it makes a mess and rats get in it

@MasonDixonAcres 11 месяцев назад

With the gutter adapter on the end the chickens can't rake the feed out. We have never had a rodent issue

@elegantcourtier Год назад

Where does one buy thin-wall pvc pipe?

@MasonDixonAcres Год назад

Ours came from Lowe’s!

@MrHandy-hz5ju Год назад

Well. I made this out of 2in pipe and the food doesn't keep coming down. Like it's to light

@MasonDixonAcres Год назад

Yeah there would be more friction there compared to the weight of the food. The 4” works well!

@Dreamlandhomestead 11 месяцев назад

It says it can't find the page for the J feeder.

@MasonDixonAcres 11 месяцев назад

Sorry! I fixed it!!

@toddkroger 6 месяцев назад

Any isues with rats or mice?

@MasonDixonAcres 6 месяцев назад

Nope! They probably do come and go as often as they would with any other feeder, there hasn't been any noticeable issue.

@victoronline5840 3 месяца назад

beware that chickens do manage to pull a ton of grain out and that this feeder is basically a rat magnet.

@scatterthewinds3126 3 месяца назад

Metriiiiiiiiiiiiiiic pleaaaaase.

@jaspersjoint7433 Год назад

So what I've seen of the food you're using is its only available for wholesale customers...I don't have retailers near me that carry a full line either. I was looking forward to trying it! Thanks for the plans though.

@MasonDixonAcres Год назад

You can order it online! We have a link in the description and a discount code 🙂 The code is "masondixon15"
