Two jobs every morning: top up the feed, tip out the water
Feed raked onto the floor. A bowl full of shavings, or knocked over completely. Sparrows helping themselves while your hens wait. This kit puts both jobs on the wall: feed stays in the feeder, water stays clean, and the morning round gets a lot shorter. It is the kit we would send to anyone setting up a small coop for the first time, and more than 80,000 chook keepers across Australia and New Zealand have made the switch.
What is in the kit?
A 3.5L Small Chicken Feeder, a 4L Chicken Drinker with two Lubing cups, an upgraded float in each cup, and a mounting kit for each unit: 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. The 4L drinker is about two days' water for four hens, a day for eight, because a hen drinks around 500ml a day and up to a litre in real heat. Two cups means two birds drink at the same moment, which matters more than you would think in a flock with a bossy hen. These are figures from our own coops. Breed, weather and free-ranging all move them.
Only two or three hens? The one cup kit is the same feeder and drinker with a single cup. Want to leave them for a long weekend? The feeder and two drinker kit doubles the water.
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 does the drinker keep water clean?
Water sits in a sealed, opaque 4L reservoir and only reaches the birds through the 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.
