- I am NOT currently making the feeders to sell 6/29/21. I DO have the Instructions NOW available on Amazon amzn.to/2VudpEY IT IS SUPER EASY WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! I had a 75 year old widow build one, loved it so much, she did a second. READ THE REVIEWS & leave one too please if you build one.
If you are concerned, have a friend or family member build it. The instructions are super easy to follow and have video inserts. For the cost, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG.
This is the most ECONOMICAL way to get our feeder due to shipping costs.

OMG it works great. It was very easy. If I can do it, anyone can. Making a second one as backup. You saved my behind, Mister. I now have freedom to live my life without having to be home every day at 6 to feed and water the chickens. FREEDOM is SO wonderful. I cannot thank you enough.
PVC elbow was $3.19 five years ago. $6 now. Hope this country wakes up before we get even poorer.
I ordered a 20 gallon feeder about a month ago and I have to say that this feeder is the best! there is practically 0 waste as my chickens have to eat everything to get to the new feed. I don't see wasted feed on the ground anymore unlike with the other feeders you get on the market. I highly recommend this product!! I bought caps at home depot to cover at night from critters.
Got mine about two weeks ago! My birds love it almost as much as I do! Thanks for making my life much easier! Lol.
Lol
Got my 10 gallon feeder last week. The girls took right to it and I don't have to fill a feeder every cold morning. Thank you Drew!
The USA is the land of convenience and your product is a perfect example. Like he said, you can make it on your own or simple purchase one. I would rather purchase it and move on like we do when one walks into a convenient store and get a cup of coffee or a manwich and we do not question “ I can make it cheaper if I made it home”. It can be done at home, brew or create the sandwich, but we get lazy and buy the darn stuff at the store.
This guy is honest and to simplify life just a bit in the farm life, it’s not a bad idea just to order one of his products. I’m from Jersey where everything is expensive for convenience 😂😂😂
Drew was great every step of the way. He responded quickly to my questions. He let me know when he shipped the kit. A very clear how to video. It only took me 10-15 minutes to put the feeder together. We just had rain and the feed was dry. My need was to be able to leave my backyard chicken coop for a week and know that the chicken won’t run out of feed. Perfect all around. Don’t know about rodents as yet since it is new, but my cats bring rodents into our house regularly so that’s how we deal with them. 👍👍👍👍👍
To avoid the 'grabbing' when using the hole saw on plastic or pvc, I suggest using the drill in reverse. It also helps to avoid cracking the plastic or pvc.
We got the 20 gallon feeder and absolutely love it! The chickens really love it too! Totally worth it. We made our own, similar to yours, but we kept losing too much food around the feeding holes. Yours is perfect and worth the money. We definitely recommend your feeder to everyone we know.
Thank you so much Christine, I love hear that.
This was such a lifesaver I ended up making 3 separate feeders. Saved a LOT of feed not to mention the cleaner coop. It was easier to order the kits and have Drew cut them for me than take the time to shop for them then cut them. Thank you Drew. Awesome product!!
We ordered a feeder for our chickens and to be honest, I was skeptical if it would work well. To my surprise and delight, this feeder is absolutely fantastic!!! Our chickens had no problem learning how to use it and there is never any wasted feed on the ground. Definitely happy with our purchase and highly recommend.
OUTSTANDING,...THANK YOU for the feedback. Made my day!
We have had these feeder for about a month. We really are liking them. We used to have a lot of waste on the ground. I recommend this product for anyone in the chicken industry or any type of bird.
Thanks Barb, SO GLAD its working for you! Happy New Year and tell your husband Thank You!
This is a great design, we have a flock of 12 chickens and this feeder has made doing chores so much easier! We can put almost an entire bag of feed in, and the chickens adapted to it very well. Our egg count has also gone up lately which I don’t think is solely because of the feeder, but it hasn’t hurt anything either. Great product & great service!
Where I live…there is a lot of moisture in the air…
We have that exact same feeder!😂
But the down side is, when it’s wet outside, the feed gets wet. The feed goes and sits at the bottom, and it molds
This is the best feeder ever! My chickens took to it the first day. It holds a lot of food that they can not scratch out so no waste. I highly recommend this product
Ordered the medium size and couldn't be happier with it. I have 11 laying hens and though it took about 24 hours for them to get the hang of it, they did. Great product!
THANKS Caleb, great to hear!
Plumbing tip. Start gently when using the holesaw and once the arbour has punctured, then switch the drill to reverse when going into the pvc to eliminate the dangerous grabbing. Also better not using your hand next to the holesaw to secure the plastic while drilling.
Dav Vod thanks for those helpful tips
Put the drill in reverse
Isn’t it 3-1/2” hole saw?
This is a fantastic product: We've used them for several months. Results? A lot less wasted feed, a cleaner coop, and it saves you money!
Thanks Andrew, glad to hear its working good.
Your right it's by far the best style of feeders out there. I have had my 5 gallon bucket for over 5 years still going strong. I'm a home builder so I had the tools but still great system. I would buy from you if I didn't already have my done. I got the idea from another RUclipser (Rob Bob) but your system is a little better because a five gallon bucket lid can be really hard to get off at times. And spiders hide under the lip of the bucket so that's fun..
Great Concept. I built one using your plans; yes the shipping was outrageous. Not your fault, I understand. Thanks for sharing this idea. It is pure genius. Oh and I appreciated the tip on using a glove.
I made one of these with 4 portals abiut 5 years ago. I based it of an australians design on RUclips.
They work great.keeps feed dry, chickens cant waste food. I used 4 inch though. I also put it up off the ground on some cinder blocks.
This video is a great historical record of just how bad the inflation is here at the end if July 2022. IDK but I'd take a swag (swinging wild ass guess) and say the prices are double if not triple.
LMAO...NOPE, just don't make them anymore, shipping was TOO expensive.
Yep. The elbows now are almost 8$ a piece
Excellent idea for dry feed, but totally unusable for wet, fermented feed which my chickens prefer and lay best on.
Observations... having don this several times... way before this video was around.
1. When cutting the plastic can run the hole saw in reverse ... it will cut/melt with out ripping/biting in to the material,,, just like vinyl siding.
2. Also the Od on a 3" PVC fitting is 3.5" unlike the size he ref. in the vid.
3. He's using Street elbows, 60 or 90deg.
I used to make these with a 55 gallon drum. Glad to know that I don't have to make them any longer. I'll be buying them from you now.
Loving this idea Steve
Thanks for your video! I wish you were still making these to sell!
I love the idea of the no waste feeders. My question is why 2 different sizes of the hole saws? Also do I need to purchase some type of collar to 'fasten' the PVC pipe to the barrel? Thanks so much for the great idea!
Yeah I have bucket feeders like that and the chickens still spread feed everywhere!
Pro-tip to drilling plastic and not have the bit grab/jump/rip your hand off, is to run the drill in reverse. The wood hole saws have a much too agressive cutting edge for plastic. Another tip is get the hole saw that has built in pilot drill.
We purchased one of these and it was worth every penny.
Made our own no problems, also have some pipe feeders...But ur right, if ppl DON'T know much about hole saws they can get dangerous and accidents happen! we DO use hole saws so already had most sizes we needed...but CAUTION is required if you DON'T use them much!
Can’t scratch food out. Except in the short video clip where there is food on the ground. Lmao.
Great Job!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Cool, can you make this pigeons?
I like it. If I ever decide to raise birds again this is a great design.
Tom, I GUARANTEE you will LOVE this! I have the video on how to make it yourself if you have the tools. Thanks for watching and your support.
Works great! Highly recommended!
OMG! Who is that gorgeous guy at the end? What a hunk, and sooo darn funny!!!!!
Your husband? : )
You don't need a hole saw for thin, soft, plastic. A sharpie and an exacto knife will work just fine.
I appreciate the glove tip… if you lube your cutting bit with vasoline or beeswax mineral oil solution you should have zero issues.
I made one of these a few years back, it holds 100 pounds of feed, and I have almost zero waste!
They work GREAT!
Except what hte mice eat lol
great video brother. i have all the tools lol
Man this is a very cool idea. My only problem with it is I now live in northern rural Vietnam so the shipping is kinda shuts. Will definitely try to make one. Thank you very much Drew.
I need an explanation about the gravity feed. Yes, what goes up p must come down. But, what regulates the flow? Why doesn't it all pour out until the PVC is choked?
Try drilling with the drill in reverse
You didn’t show us inside. What is it just an empty bucket with the pvc fittings glued in? If so you just pile the whole bag of feed in it and the feed does not come out of the holes?
I’ve tried ordering and kindle will not let me get it. I’m trying to figure what smaller hole saw is for but unable to figure it out. Is there not a simple plan for this? Frustrated trying to order!!!
Hi there. We bought your instructions on Amazon. Sadly, because we don’t want to read from a device, but wanted to download and print (and could never figure out HOW to download it)... we had to go back and cancel order. It sounded like a good manual.
Thanks for the idea.
This looks like a great concept! Have you thought of a way to prevent rodents from accessing the feed?
Put empty, cleaned out soup cans into holes. rodents cant access it..
The birds eat rodents
@@MARTINELSA1 the rodents usually come out at night when the birds are roosting. We haven’t found anything that will keep rodents out.
@@thefledglingfarmette5363 oh my gosh i mentiined the birds eating rodents but that doesnt work. I know now because i bought those rediculously big rodent bate stations. They are bjg enough fir full sized rats to enter. They hold poison bait on a skewer within. Ill tell you. I tried a lot of otger ideas like plain mousetraps with peanut butter... 50 of those, and smaller bait stations. I now know what actually works its the giant bait stations. Why? Because there are many dead rodents all arpund my farm now. Nkt a good situatiin with farm animals near them. But still mega satisfying after years of fighting the mice and rats. The farm animals will have to deal with it till the mice are all dead. Its worth it. Im buying more of these to put out in my property to stem the tide of rodents.
This looks like a great product
Very smart presentation
Thank you!!
So I do not have a kindle. Can I buy a pdf for these instructions for you? Or, are you making these again yourself yet?
Hello 👋 Would this work for pigeons, great video, I’m going away for few weeks thanks in advance?
Can you keep this feeder outside without critters getting to it? My coup/run is too small for a big feeder.
doesnt mice get it?
Nice, I am moon from india
Great Idea.
By the way I work with tools everyday I almost cut my thumb tip off with a whole saw so if I was yall I'd buy one from him lol
exelent ...thums up
When drilling plastics with a hole saw always drill in reverse.
especially into a curved surface like a trash can. take your time let the tool do it's work.
Use the drill in reverse… actually cuts better w/ less jerking.
Try cutting the hole in reverse. 😂🤣
I have Japanese bantams very small birds with this work for them
It should, I have two month old chicks that use it. I start using it with our chicks when they stand about 8" off the ground, sometimes less.
I have a similar operation set up with my coop in Waverly NE for both water and feed. I am using a 55 gal plastic barrel with 3” 45 degree street pvc. The chickens are still being picky and wasting a lot of rolled corn. Any recommendations?
Use 90 deg instead of 45 degree. This will lower the normal level of the feed and they cant rake it out.
How do I buy one of these from you
Hey man how would this work for fermented chicken feed?
Hey. I don’t have a kindle. Is it in book form too.
I believe you can watch it on you computer and other formats as well, just look on the Amazon page for more details.
Are these still available to purchase??
Where can I order one from?
I have 18 chickens. I'm a low income Senior and I don't want to feed the small birds of the air during the day and the rats at night. How does your feeder do with these ?
Have you started selling these products on amazon? If not you could and should definitely sell them on amazon so that more people will find it and don’t have to make it. Also could you do a test for me and put water in one and see if that works too. Thanks!
How do I order one
What’s the 2 1/2” hole saw for
Thank you for sharing this....
Do you happen to have a goat safe feeder?
No waste? Yeah right! I made two of these and the waste is worse than before!
Cool idea!! but will these prevent sparrows and doves stealing the chicken food??? My main issue!! They look pretty functional but thought it best to ask.
Good question, answer is I am not sure. I think it would really help if not stop it. Using the ports is a "learned" thing by the chickens. Unfortunately, the only way to really know for sure is testing it. We don't have any other birds around so I can't directly answer your question. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer.
Can mice still get in? Do I need to cap it or put it up at night? Can I still buy this?
Where can I order to ship out to me
Does this feeder work with fermented food?
So I can't buy these from you?
Id like to order the medium size feeder but can't locate where to purchase and cost. Please advise
Will it keep mice out?
No
Does this work with crumble feed? I have one similar and crumble pours out the holes
I built a very small one using a small tub for my quail. They always tossed more feed than they ate. The feed was crumbles. It worked with no more lost feed. If feed is pouring out the holes then the 90 deg pvc is too short.
how many chickens can it feed for 2 weeks during my travel??
Does the feed rot at the way bottom of it ever? That's my only concern otherwise love this!
NEVER, not for me in 4 years. I have yet to get water in mine.
Are they rain proof for outdoor use ?
How do I teach my chickens how to eat out of it?
Do you have a website where I can purchase this?? I don’t want to make my own, please help!! I would really appreciate your help
Too bad your not selling them I was going to buy one
How do you get the birds to use this? I have one But the chickens are not eating from it??? Mine is the 5 gallon bucket....also my chickens are 4 weeks old...should they be an age or size to use this
If you have one from me, please contact me via email. Thanks
I made two different sizes. The young buffs have wasted a lot of pellets out of it.
I have only three chickens. What is your smallest one?
Whole lot of wasted feed in the bottom that never cycles through. And a hole saw tip, start in reverse first. Then switch to forward and angle the hole saw to cut one section at a time as you rotate it.
Critters eat right through rubber and plastic to get to the feed.
Are these plastics food grade?
can the pekin ducks eat out of that? also what genetic breeds are your nice looking pekin ducks?
Yes, the ducks eat out it. Not sure on breed.
What keeps the weight of the feed from pushing the pipes back out of the can?
Actually, its the weight of the feed that keeps them in place! Design.
How do you deal with other pests getting into this? Thanks!
Don't have that issue.
