MANY, MANY THANKS!! This chicken feeder FINALLY solved my ground squirrel problems! The little SOB were eating half the chicken feed but no more. I put in four feed ports and raised it up with a smooth sided bucket like in the initial video shot, to prevent ground squirrels from climbing up. Some can still stand up on their hind legs and stretch enough to get their front claws on the lip of the feed port. But since it's smooth and there's nothing to grab, they end up falling when they try to raise themselves up. I watched one try three times before giving up. No need to worry about rats and mice at night either so I can leave it out overnight. The handle makes it easy to move anywhere but I did bend it flatter so it can't swing past the lid. I didn't want it hanging on the side which might help the squirrels trying to hoist themselves up. We don't have tree squirrels so I don't know how well it will work with them. But it is 100% effective on California ground squirrels which are a real plague in my rural area. Just an FYI: I bought my food grade 5-gallon bucket and lid from the paint department at Walmart. This white bucket has no markings and the labels are easily removed after heating lightly with a hair dryer.

Sweet feeder!!! Just a tip that I've seen before, if you use the whole 90 coupling for each hole and you keep the bottom of the 90 an inch or two off the bottom of the bucket and you won't have to tape that little cut off piece in and worry about it coming off.

I made this over the weekend for our chickens. Really appreciate the video and directions on your blog. BTW - parts list is for a 90 degree PVC elbow, however the link to Amzn goes to a 45 degree elbow. Have you found the 45 or 90 elbow to work better? So far the new feeders are much cleaner than the old commercial style feeders with so much less waste. I have a chicken house on the farm so I raised the new feeders on cinder blocks and seem to work just fine.

That looked like a 'long sweep 90 deg.' elbow you used, a short(er) pattern 90 deg. will not give you the same shape for your 'feed chute'. I suggest to your subscribers (2) 3" 45 deg. street elbows. The fitting you use maybe hard to find, I'm speaking strictly from a plumbers eye. I really like the total design. This feed bucket looks like it may keep the feed drier from rain etc. Thanks for the video and God Bless

If I know a live feed is coming, I arrange my schedule to be inside - canning, bread making, etc. Today I'm canning pumpkins and tomatoes so I have internet. I receive a signal maybe 30% of the time outside. I'd keep the time the same (12 PM here) because when I'm dealing with snow - I'll probably be back inside that time to warm back up! :D

@@richardbohlingsr3490 Saturday after last Thanksgiving we bought 6 hens and raised them. When the first of March arrived I put them into a portable coop and kept them in for a week/ten days, then opened the door so they could free range. Every night at sundown [when our driveway lights come on] I go out and close the door to the coop. They are always already in and headed for the enclosed section where the nest boxes are located. The key is to keep them confined for. a while so they know where 'home' is at. Good luck with your adventure.
