In an attempt to keep the hogs in view longer, I made a pig pipe. I took a wild guess on proper hole size and did 5/8”. Looked about right, but I just guessed.
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

Pt corn in it and see how it flows. You want the corn to just be able to come out without letting too much out. I think, and I stress think, I wound up with 5/8". I started small and gradually increased the size to get the flow I wanted. Dang, that almost sounds dirty. I think you'll be fine. If it's letting too much out just put some duct tape over a few of the holes to slow the flow.

I second the 1/2". I did mine at 5/8 to start which was a bit too large. Then the field mice, etc., decided that wasn't large enough for them and chewed them out even larger. Way too much corn flows out now. Thinking about using some 5 minute epoxy to stick some 1/2" washers over those.
