The gluttony of chickens is well known and for this reason they always need food, as well as water to moisten their throats and quench their thirst. Feeding and watering these birds takes a lot of time and effort. By making a simple structure from PVC pipes and tees, as well as 20-liter PET bottles, and giving the chickens food and water once a day, you can no longer worry for up to 3-7 days.
Will need
Materials:
- 3 plastic PVC pipes with a socket with a diameter of 100 mm;
- 2 plastic PVC tees 90 degrees with a diameter of 100 mm;
- 2 plastic PVC plugs with a diameter of 100 mm;
- a piece of plastic sheet;
- 2 wooden prismatic stands;
- 2 plastic clamps;
- 2 PET bottles for 20 liters.
Tools: construction hair dryer, grinder; glue gun, screwdriver, etc.

The process of making feeders and drinking bowls for chickens from PVC pipes and PET bottles
Set the heat gun to 630 degrees Celsius and carefully, keeping a distance, heat the end of the pipe until it softens (but does not lose its shape!) and insert the plastic plug until it stops.
For the second pipe, cut out the plug from a plastic sheet, tracing its outline along the outer generatrix.
Having processed the edges, we place the plug on the grinder disc and press on the pipe. As a result, the plug ends up in the pipe at some distance from the end.
We fill the contact line between the pipe and the plug with glue for gluing the plastic.
From the tee bends, we cut off the rings along the outer collar and clean the cutting lines around the circumference.
After making sure there is an o-ring, insert the pipe without a plug into the socket of the tee. We put a pipe with a plug made of a plastic sheet with a socket onto the other end of the first tee.
We put a second tee on the end of the second pipe, also making sure there is a seal. We put a pipe with a factory plug on the free end of the second tee.
At a certain distance horizontally, we install two identical prismatic wooden stands transversely. We attach one plastic clamp to each of them with screws on top, into which we place the structure assembled from pipes and tees, and snap the clamp ends.
Using the template from above, we cut rectangular slots of the maximum possible size in the three nozzles. We remove irregularities and burrs from the edges of the slots.
The socket of the open end of the pipe with the sealing ring is securely closed with a second factory plug.
Pour the feed into another bottle.
Drill two small holes in the lid of the water container and fill the bottle with water.
We place the container with water in the outlet of the tee, into which the factory plug is inserted with interference. We place the neck of the container with forage in a free outlet.
The chickens will feed and quench their thirst as needed, and the supply of both will be gradually replenished from bottles.
