2. Gravity-Fed PVC Wall Silo

If you have a small coop with limited floor space, go vertical! A long PVC pipe mounted to the wall acts as a silo that holds several days’ worth of feed without taking up any walking room.

  • Materials Needed:
    • 4-inch diameter PVC pipe (length of your choice)
    • PVC “Y” junction or 45-degree elbow
    • End caps
  • Steps:
    • Mount the long pipe vertically to the wall studs.
    • Attach the “Y” junction at the bottom so the feed flows into the opening.
    • Put a cap on the top to keep out dust and moisture.
