We have baby chicks and the mason-jar feeder just isn't cutting it... especially because you have to fill it up and then quickly invert it, and you lose a ton of volume doing so
So I took a much larger container that I can fill from the top.
Here's what I came up with.

- I down - resized the chicken feeder for Ø100 PVC pipe V2 to make it match my plastic container size: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6681158
- I customized this Bulkhead fitting to make it a good fit for the top of my container to top-fill
