I’d caution using these. I have the same design and have lost at least 2 young chickens because they try to crawl up into the tube as it gets empty and they get stuck. I’m installing wire over the opening so they can’t enter.

Our water bottles and plastic ware that we use all contain chemicals that may cause some kind of harmful effect to us. So what’s the differense? Even the foods we eat contain some kind of harmful chemicals.

In reply to BlueEyes. I would like to know what kind of filter that you could have in your household would filter out these kind of contaminants. Maybe a very expensive reverse osmosis system...

In reply to YTG137. Using drinking water PVC is safe. Using sewer PVC is not. Need the "food" grade PVC which is labeled for carrying drinking water.

In reply to BlueEyes. Better check- your filter housings are probably plastic as well. And whatever factory processed the chicken feed is probably using a variety of plastics. I think you're chasing ghosts.

I like the idea of this. The addition of the ‘low feed’ flag in the linked article is a great one also and one I haven’t seen before on other blogs.

What about using 1″ PEX instead?
