Dine a Chook Customer Feedback says it all!
The reviews of our Chicken Feeders and Drinkers tell you everything you need to know about Australia's favourite Feeder and Drinker Kit:
Dine a Chook feeders - working so well for my small Silkie Bantams attached temporarily here while I adjust height required. They can all feed with the food dropping down the feeder and no spillage to ground. Stayed dry inside during recent rain. Put some fresh sweet corn in to get them interested as some of these birds were not used to a feeder as they were rescued from total neglect in a small cage with no food apart from what they threw on the ground, so getting these birds used to using a feeder took bribery initially. Now all are happy to put their head right down the back of feeder. I love the carry handle and twist lock lid. These are far better than the other brand widely available on eBay. I will be changing my feeders/drinkers now to Dine a Chook. My set up here includes an automatic chicken door opener and on far right of roof a white battery sensor led light to deter night foxes/cats, combined with a range of Dine a Chook products, my birds' set up is complete.
I was a bit sceptical that i was spending a fair bit of money because I was too lazy to refresh the water every day. Now I realise that my chickens never have to eat feed that’s had rats in it or water that’s not clean. I can go away for a weekend and know they are being fed, well worth the money.
I really love this feeder! Absolutely no waste, no mess & my chooks wasted no time in working out how to use it. Best of all the wild birds can't use it and neither can rats! Thanks for making such a wonderful product AND for keeping the price reasonable too.
I purchased the feeder and waterer as a kit. Was very easy to set up by myself (on wooden fence), using the instructions provided through the website. No mess, no fuss and very sturdy. Excellent postage and packaging too

The Dine a Chook Difference
We had chickens long before we started Dine a Chook, and we still do! We understand the problems that backyard chicken keepers face and our goal is to provide solutions.
That is why Dine a Chook Chicken Feeders and Drinkers stand out from the competition: Our products have been extensively tested in Australian backyards, including our own! Our patented innovations and unique design features really work to make backyard chicken keeping easier.
We know how important good coop management is. A clean, dry coop, and uncontaminated feed and water, are essential for poultry health. Our Feeders reduce waste, keeping feed dry and off the floor. And our Waterers keep water clean and prevent spillage.
Dine a Chook Feeders and Drinkers are made in Australia, supporting Aussie jobs. And we use genuine Lubing Drinker Outlets from Germany because they are the best for poultry. Our products are built to last and come with an exclusive guarantee. Tested in the harsh Australian climate, don’t run over them with a tractor and we bet you won’t need to buy another Feeder or Drinker again!

So far so good! We have only had our chickens for a week, but they have learnt to use the feeder well. Very happy with the delivery and quality of the products.

Our silkies love these products. They got the hang of the feeder and drinker really quickly and they adore the mealworms. We freeze a protein powder shaker of water overnight and pop that into the drinker in the morning on hot days.

Great product and delivered very promptly. Easy to set up as I hung them on the trellis. Easy to teach the chooks to eat from the dispenser with the delicious Mealworms. No trouble learning to drink from the drinker.

I made sure to read some of the other reviews before committing to the purchase of these items as I didn't want to spend money on another feeder or drinker which didn't work (story of my life with these chooks so far!). Someone mentioned it fixed their pigeon problem pretty much immediately and I was sold! We had been feeding not only our chooks, but the local pigeon population on a daily basis, and those pesky birds would eat away half of what was out. The feeder and drinker combo is perfect for what we need, ensures that the chooks have plenty of food and water (meaning we can head away for a long weekend without having to ask anyone else to look after them daily) and I'm stoked with the quality of the product. We've even had a couple of storms and it seems relatively sheltered from the rain (the feeder is hanging outside at the moment). The chickens took to eating out of it very quickly and drinking from the feeder straight away so happy all around!
