Go away for the long weekend. Come home to fed, watered chooks.
With a bowl on the floor, water is the thing that runs out first. This kit gives a small flock a week of feed and eight litres of clean water, in two sealed drinkers the birds cannot stand in or tip over. One feeder, two drinking stations, everything mounted on the wall. It is the kit for anyone who wants to leave the coop for three or four days without asking the neighbour, and more than 80,000 chook keepers across Australia and New Zealand run this gear.
What is in the kit?
A 3.5L Small Chicken Feeder, two 4L Chicken Drinkers with two Lubing cups each and an upgraded float in every cup, and a mounting kit for each of the three units: two steel brackets and four screws apiece, for timber or metal. Nothing else to buy if you are mounting to timber.
Mounting to wire mesh? Contact us about the stainless wire mesh mounting kit before you order.
What size flock is this kit for?
The 3.5L feeder suits 2–8 hens and holds roughly 2.6kg of feed: about 7 days for a pair, around 5 days for six on quality complete pellets. Two 4L drinkers hold 8 litres, about four days' water for four hens, two days for eight, because a hen drinks around 500ml a day and up to a litre in real heat. So for four hens the feed and the water both last about the same four to five days, which is the point of the kit. These are figures from our own coops. Breed, weather and free-ranging all move them.
Bigger flock? Put the drinkers in two different spots so the quieter birds always have a cup to themselves. Not planning to go away? The feeder and single drinker kit is the same pair with one drinker.
How does the feeder keep feed off the ground?
Feed gravity-feeds into a hooded base. The hood gives your hens room to eat comfortably, but the shape stops the flicking and raking that scatters feed across the floor, and a built-in rain hood channels water away from the opening so the feed stays dry outdoors. No moving parts, no treadle, no training. Your chickens work it out in minutes. Less feed on the ground also means less on offer for sparrows and rodents.
How do the drinkers keep water clean?
Each drinker is a sealed, opaque 4L reservoir, and water only reaches the birds through the two Lubing cups, which refill themselves as the level drops. No open bowl collecting shavings, dirt or droppings, nothing standing on the ground to be tipped over, and no sunlight on the water to grow algae. Rinse the cups when you refill and the flock is drinking what came out of your tap.
What feed should I use with this kit?
Quality complete feed, crumble or pellets. These give your hens balanced nutrition in every bite and reduce selective eating. Grain mixes let hens pick out their favourites and leave the rest, which is both waste and a nutrition gap.
If the feed level looks low in the tray, that is by design: it keeps feed away from the edges so it cannot be flicked out. Try the finger test: push your finger into the opening. If you can move the feed, your chickens can reach it.
How is it built, and how is it backed?
Every component is injection moulded in Brisbane and assembled by hand in Townsville, a genuine Australian made product. UV-treated ASA plastic handles sun and rain year after year, and with no moving parts there is nothing to jam or seize. Dine-A-Chook started in 2009 as a weekend project in the garage, and we are still a family business that answers its own emails, New Zealand included. Backed by a 3-year warranty on the feeder and the drinker components we manufacture, and 12 months on the Lubing cups. Colour loss and fading, and rodent damage, are not covered. Full terms on our warranty page. Delivery is a flat $22.95 NZ-wide, any size order.
