Looking for a feeder that keeps feed off the ground — without taking up half your coop?
Whether you’re setting up your first coop or replacing a messy bowl that scatters feed everywhere, the Dine-A-Chook Small Feeder is built for flocks of 2–6 hens. Compact enough for smaller coops and runs, simple to fill, and trusted by 80,000+ chook keepers across Australia and New Zealand.
How does the Small 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 stops them from flicking, raking, or billing feed onto the ground. A built-in rain hood channels water away from the opening, keeping feed dry outdoors. No moving parts, no training — your chickens start eating within minutes.
What size flock is the Small Feeder for?
The 3.5L size suits flocks of around 2–6 hens. It holds roughly 2.6kg of feed — about 7 days’ worth for a pair, or around 5 days for a small flock on quality complete pellets. Browse our chicken feeder range for all sizes.
Bigger flock or more space to play with? The Large Chicken Feeder holds 3.7kg and suits flocks of 6–8 hens. Want two feeding stations to reduce competition at feeding time? The Small Feeder Twin Pack covers 4–10 hens across two feeders.
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.

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 Small Feeder built to last?
Every component is injection moulded in Brisbane and assembled in Townsville — a genuine Australian made product. 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 shipped free to any New Zealand address.
