Tired of wasted feed, messy coops, and feeding wild birds instead of your flock?
If you’re losing feed to scratching, raking, weather, or a growing audience of sparrows and pigeons — the Dine-A-Chook Large Feeder is designed to stop it. trusted by 80,000+ chook keepers across Australia and New Zealand, this is the most popular feeder in the range.
How does the Large Feeder work?
Easy to refill — just turn the handle on the lid to lift it off, pour in feed, and twist it back on. Feed gravity-feeds into a hooded base opening. The hood gives your hens room to eat comfortably, but the shape prevents the raking and flicking motion that scatters feed onto the ground. A built-in rain hood channels water away from the opening, so feed stays dry outdoors. No moving parts, no training — your chickens start eating within minutes.
What size flock is the Large Feeder for?
The 4.7L size suits flocks of around 6–8 hens. It holds roughly 3.7kg of feed — about 5–7 days’ worth on quality complete pellets. That’s enough to leave your flock for a long weekend without worrying about feed. All Dine-A-Chook chicken feeders share the same waste-reducing design.
Smaller flock or tighter coop? The Small Chicken Feeder holds 2.6kg and suits flocks of up to 6 hens.
What’s in the box?
Feeder with twist-on lid, 2 steel mounting brackets, 4 self-tapping screws, and an installation guide. Mounts directly to timber — ready to install, no extra parts needed.
Mounting to wire mesh? Contact us about the stainless wire mesh mounting kit before you order.
What feed should I use with this feeder?
Works well with quality complete feed — crumble or pellets. These give your hens balanced nutrition in every bite and reduce selective eating. Grain mixes let hens pick their favourites and miss essential nutrients.
If the feed level looks low in the tray, that’s by design — it keeps feed away from edges so your hens can’t flick it out. Try the finger test: push your finger into the opening. If you can move the feed, your chickens can reach it.
Why is the Large Feeder built to last?
Every component is injection moulded in Brisbane and assembled in Townsville — a genuine Australian made product, not just an Australian made sticker. UV-resistant ASA plastic handles sun and rain year after year. No moving parts means nothing to jam, seize, or break. Backed by a 3-year warranty, and delivery is a flat $22.95 NZ-wide, any size order.
