Came across some cool pictures of a DIY Chicken/Duck feeder. There was no parts list so what do you think I would need to build this?

Maybe something like this but you think there would be a lot of bird waste getting on the food.

Found another DIY build.

material list

8 feet of 3" abs pipe

2 'y' fittings

2 45 degree elbows

3 3" caps

1 3" plywood plug

i used wood screws to hold it together so i can take it apart if i need to clean it.

also the plug is a snug fit made out of plywood so if there is a clog in the pipe i can remove it.

this is where the food is put it. cut the hole with a holesaw, then widened it with a sawsall and roofing tar to seal it.

this is the 1st tier, used a sawsall to cut the top of the pipe

this is the bottom tier, same setup

I had seen that one before, if that was tied into a rainwater catchment system, you could have your food and water on auto pilot pretty much
