    I made a chicken feeder from scraps lying around on our farm. This method saved me a lot of money and works well.
    I did not plan this project and made it up as I went along. I got the idea when I saw an old drain pipe laying around. Then I started to look for old planks and was fortunate enough to get all the parts that I needed from a previous project.

    You can off-course go out and buy the materials I used in this video to make a chicken feeder and it will still end up being cheaper, but if you are fortunate enough to recycle and use that material, why not?

    Chicken feeders come in many different types, including no-waste, automatic, and trough feeders. Chicken feeders can be expensive, but you can save money by making your own chicken feeder. Make a simple feeder using buckets and PVC pipes, or create a trough feeder with different length pipes and an elbow pipe join

    In this video I will guide you through on how I made my own chicken feeder. You do not have to follow it step by step, but the concept is good enough and you can feed a lot of chickens at the same time.
