In the video below I am sharing the how to steps for making Cheap Chicken Feeders.
These Cheap Chicken Feeders are easy to build and easy on the wallet.
Watch the video now!
Below are pictures of these cheap chicken feeders that I have made using mostly free materials. Check them out and see the pictures for part numbers as well near the bottom of this blog post.
As you can see in these pictures the PVC pipe and the green sewer pipe is used. This left me with just having to buy the elbows that I have below with parts numbers for you. You will also see the PVC primer and glue that I am using for these projects.
I used a hand saw with a medium wood blade in it for cutting off these PVC and Sewer pipes to the lengths I wanted. I also used the file and sandpaper mentioned and shown in the video above for smoothing the rough edges.
The picture below is the PVC glue that I am using for these projects and other PVC projects. This is the best and cheapest that I have found. I have never had anything leak that I have used this primer and glue on. This stuff bonds tight and secure.
Make sure that when you put the glued pieces together that you have them where you want them. They are very hard to move within seconds of putting these glued pieces together.
These items with part numbers mentioned above will give you the inside on exactly what you need to build these exact Chicken Feeders very cheap. I got these at Lowe’s which was cheaper than Home Depot and other places I checked.
