Lids – Compare our lids to other products found on eBay and in the marketplace. With other products, you require two hands to carry the feeder. Our lids simply lock into position. This allows you to easily carry the feeder and drinker with just one hand or one in each hand. A great feature! Rear Hooks – Originally we screwed on a rear hook and you will notice that other brands still do this. Now, our super strong hooks are part of the main body on both the drinker and the feeder. They are extremely strong and it also means that there are no rusty screws penetrating through the body of the feeder and drinker. No potential leaks, no chance of coming loose! Solid Wall Brackets – Your pack includes 6 'custom made' steel brackets. Designed specifically to suit our feeder and drinker. We also throw in the screws at no extra cost! This package includes a FREE Sample of our Dried Mealworms THE FEEDER - This is a true ‘NO WASTE FEEDER’ how did we do it? By studying how chickens eat. We went as far as setting up a Go Pro camera so that we could see exactly what was happening and how we could control it. With our patent pending horizontal and vertical paddles found inside the opening of the feeder the chicken simply cannot pull feed from the unit. With the horizontal paddle we have also eliminated the tendency for the chicken to swipe side to side. By mounting the feeder at the birds neck height, or close to, like us....You will waste absolutely NO FEED AUSTRALIAN MADE AND OWNED - With so many imported products on the market, as a family owned Townsville based company, we decided that it was important to also support other Australian businesses. It is for this reason that we undertook the engineering, development and now the production of our new products with a Brisbane based Injection Moulding Company. The production of these parts is truly amazing, and the quality is what you would expect from two Aussie companies committed to representing their business and products to customers all over the world. Hand assembly is still carried out in Townsville where we can maintain a very high level of quality control. All parts are made from high grade PVC. Not only is this material UV stable but it is also super strong and will outlast any other feeder and drinker on the market. ‘Exclusive’ features... When we built the first Dine a Chook, ‘Almost 9 Years Ago!’…We knew that this was only the beginning. For our family, this product and the ongoing ambition to provide the worlds best feeding and drinking systems for backyard chicken keepers has become somewhat…an obsession!. Every design element in our products has a purpose. Take a close look at the leading edge of the moulded rear hooks, the method in which the parts go together, the rain gutter, the locking lid and the handle. All of these elements are a result of our ongoing commitment to produce a quality product that works. You can mount these feeders and drinkers anywhere – On wire mesh, a solid timber fence or a steel post. Clean water and NO algae – If you have ever owned any other drinker for your chickens you will know that algae build up in the water is just awful. You will never have this problem with a Dine a Chook drinker. The cups require ‘no training’ and only a simple flush on occasion under running water will ensure many years of hassle free clean water for your chickens. What about the Blue Float – Is it really important? First and foremost, you should understand that it is scientifically ‘proven’ that chickens are attracted to ‘RED’ and ‘YELLOW’ after all, this is why Lubing, the worlds leading manufacturer of commercial poultry drinkers use exclusively red and yellow drinker components. It is claimed by other businesses who sell Lubing Cups that your chickens need the ‘NEW STYLE DRINKER CUP’. This is only partially true. The difference is simply the back of the float. It is slightly thicker which in turn allows more water into the cup. Dine a chook produces 3 different colour floats. Yellow, Blue and Pink. The Blue and the pink are purely cosmetic and should not be looked upon as a feature or necessity. Our preference is still to use Yellow in line with Lubing, who are undoubtedly the world authority on this topic. Once again, this upgraded part is ‘Made in Australia’. We now upgrade every cup that we sell. Testimonials Backyard chook owners rejoice! These have been a lifesaver in our family. Being a busy family it is not always possible to get up the back to check food & water supplies daily. This problem is made worse if you wait for designated children to do these jobs!! Anyway this product is brilliant - we never run out of food or water & the food last so much longer because there is not one sceric of waste - nothing! The rats don't like but we love it. Thank you saving our chooks (from starvation) & my kids (from guilt at knowing they may have lead to the slow demise of our chooks). Wonderful Products I got this twin set for my 11 chooks, and there is absolutely no mess or wastage, they all learned to use it within two days, and it's easy for my 4 & 6 year old to open and keep topped up. I only wish I had gotten the larger size, and a waterer too, but as we already had a metal self-waterer, I didn't. However, I can't put the apple cider vinegar in the metal one, so I still plan to get the waterer at some point. I also plan to order the feeder for the school chickens as well. The only thing I would have liked to see is perhaps a clear section partway down so you can see at a glance if the food level is below that area and needs refilling. Great! Product: Dine-a-Chook 3.5L Chicken Feeder and 4L Drinker Kit Just received mine and unpacked the kit.. I took it out to the girls (I have 3 chooks) and filled the containers and attached the feeder and waterer to the wire.. Took me all of 5 minutes.. All girls ran straight to them and started feeding... so far so good.. the spoggies will have to go hungry from now on. Thanks for a great Aussie product.. Great product at last. Product: Double Outlet Lubing Cup Drinker After trying many types of waterer, this is by far the easiest to keep clean. Just a quick flush and all done - no more scrubbing of bowls. I thought my chickens would take some time to work out the drinkers, but within 15 mins they had all started using the cups. A well made quality product - thanks. Absolutely brilliant products! Product: Dine-a-Chook 3.5L Chicken Feeder and 4L Drinker Kit Absolutely brilliant products, gone from a perpetual mess to as good as zero wastage, only thing going hungry are the pigeons. :-) Original water container is still there but they don't touch it, way prefer yours. Thank you for an excellent product, will recommend to all. Dine-a-Chook is Dynomite,No Bull Product: Dine-a-Chook 3.5L Chicken Feeder and 4L Drinker Kit I bought the 3 1/2litre feeder & 4 litre water set& a extra individual water&feeder.I am 53years old I've been around chooks since i was 2 years old i can honestly say nothing beats these products .Not wind nor rain nor bird or mouse. The 8 chooks are happy the foods all theirs , I'm happy the 2 water and feeders last them a week .A lot less work 4 me & more money left in my wallet ,best products ever. Wish I had gotten one years ago Product: 4.7 Litre Feeder & 20 Litre Twin Lubing Cup Drinker I have two lots of chickens housed in different areas. I bought one feeder (4lt) and am totally satisfied with it, so much so that I am about to order a new one with a watering system. My girls didn't quite get that this was their new feeder, I rang the guys at Biggin, "Pop a little bit of bacon in there, won't take them long to find it." Yep, you guessed it, they found it and love it, no more wild bird problems, no more mess on the ground, no more wastage, it is definitely saving me money. G’day Guys, I always reckon a bit of good feedback is a good thing as so often in todays busy world there is a lot of negativity and most people only like to give bad feedback. So, here is some good feedback. I have been using your chicken drinker for a while now and I am very happy with it.It works! Recently an elderly friend of mine was having lots of trouble with Satin Bower birds and as he is not on a computer and not living near a Bunnings I decided to buy the chicken feeder for him. It solved his problem IMMEDIATELY ! I was so impressed that I bought one myself as I was in the midst of a Satin Bower bird invasion as well.My problem was solved IMMEDIATELY as well. No more birds at all. Not a one! I am very impressed with the outcome and obviously I am not using nearly as much feed now. A job well done guys and made in Australia. Thank You kindly, Tony Walker Hello Ryan I just wanted to let you know that I did go ahead and purchase your feeder, and it has worked very well with sparrows. I did speak to you on the phone about the need for it to deter sparrows as well and you told me about adding the fishing line if needed, but that has not been required at all. The minute we put your feeder up the entire wild bird population (rosellas, saturn bower birds, currawongs and sparrows) vanished overnight....brilliant! I would strongly encourage you to advertise on your website that your feeder deters sparrows as well. Perhaps you have only sold to two people (now 3) who had sparrow problems because your site does not indicate your feeder deters them? I know I almost skipped over your site when looking for a feeder because it did not state it stopped sparrows when other sites did. Thanks for your feeder, it was very reasonably priced and well worth the money spent. I also really like that it was a creative idea by a backyard Australian, and has stayed Australian Made, Australian owned Cheers Kelly Country Guest House | Horse Retirement and Boarding | Transition to Bitless Riding | Barehoof Trimming | Horse Connection We've been using the Dineachook feeder and drinker for a period of 3 months now and it's saved a lot of mucking around feeding the chooks in the cold and muddy conditions of late. It's good to know that, even if the weather is less than average, there is a ready supply of fresh water and feed available for the girls! Your products are working well! We'd love to have one of your Drum Drinkers and the photo of our set-up is attached. "Thanks to everyone at Dine-a-chook for a great product and excellent service. I purchased the Feeder / Drinker package a few months ago. It took approximately 10 minutes to install and the chooks worked out how to use them within a few hours. I (and the chooks) loved the product so much that I bought another Feeder / Drinker package to install in the coop. The new mounting bracket system is a great idea and makes them very easy to remove for cleaning. Both my my feeders are in the weather and I no longer have issues with wild birds or rain getting into the feed. With the quality of these feeders I doubt they will ever need replacing." "The chook feeder is fantastic and all of my chooks are now using it. I have five different breeds from a Silkie to an Australorp and all have learnt how to feed from it successfully without the mess of usual feeders. My feed bill has halved and rodents are now a thing of the past because of it's clever design." From Michael - Junction Hill NSW You are a legend, you have bent over backwards to accommodate my needs and got my order cut, packed and shipped within 20 mins of ordering. Very Highly recommended. NOW THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Hi Ryan, thanks for the great service. Your ability to build what I was after and arrange delivery so quickly is greatly appreciated by me and the 'girls'. Thanks again, Sarah Dear Dine-a-Chook I just wanted to pass on my feedback. I have had the feeder installed for two days. Some birds are very unhappy, and some are very happy. The pigeons and sparrows don’t know what to do with themselves! Before we would have hordes of them flying in when I put out food. Now they are getting none. It is fantastic. I still keep checking to see if the birds have figured it out, but I am fairly sure they couldn’t fit in it – especially not the doves / pigeons. The chooks took about half a day to be really comfortable eating out of it. I have 4 full size chooks and I bantam. I have adjusted the height to suit the bantam, but she has no problems at all. In fact, I think it is great for the two different sized birds, because she would be picked on and pecked away before. Now she may get a peck on the back when she is eating, but now it is only on her back. And I know now, that she can go back to feeding when the others are finished and she won’t miss out. I have even found it can be portable. I tie it up in their run during the day, and just relocate it out in the backyard when they want to free range. No problems. Yet to work out a more portable fixing solution than tying up! Overall, very, very happy with the product. Even my husband is impressed. We had chook food all over the shed floor before – now we have just about zero wastage. Will keep you updated if we have any issues / comments, but thank you for a great product. Have a great Easter! Regards Kerry I am so pleased with my Dine-a-Chook feeder and drinker set!! As a chook owner for just over 2 years, I have always been on the lookout for an inexpensive, reliable feeder. As a huge bonus, Dine-a-Chook is not wild bird or rodent friendly! I purchased the feeder first, and as we were having so many problems with pigeons hanging around. This mean that we were wasting so much money on expensive feed, especially when we went away. We would have to put so much out in a container and hope that the chooks got some after they had finished. Not to mention the attraction of rats and mice. The feeder arrived a few days before we had planned to go away on a 3 day holiday. Perfect timing! We set the feeder up, and straight away I could see that the pigeons would have no chance of getting into the feeder to perch, as well as not accessible to rats and mice. I was absolutely rapt with it! We normally have someone to feed and check our five chooks, but after having the feeder set up for those few days, I knew I would not have to worry at all about their food supply when we were away. When we got back, it still had lots of food in it. I didn't fill the feeder until it was empty. No refill was necessary until 6 days later! This is excellent piece of mind when you can't attend to the chooks (and knowing you don't have to!) Before I was going out to feed them about 4 times a day – so much wasted time. I would also go out to chase the pigeons away! And then I knew they weren't getting all of it. I knew straight away that we were saving so much money on expensive food. We use a layer mix, not pellet, and have found no issue with it moving through the pipe. I experimented a little with the height of the feeder. I have both standard and bantam chooks, but in no time I found the best height. I first temporarily tied the feeder up so I could adjust it, then used the fittings supplied after I found the right height. My little bantam leghorn is a bit cheeky, and I found if the feeder was too low, she could flick a little of the feed out. But making it so she had to reach up a bit, stopped the sweeping action of her beak that pushed the food out. There are other bonuses with the feeder, too. I used to find having a mixed flock, the boss chook would always force the bantam away from the food and peck her on the head. Now, my bantam can feed whenever she wants to, knowing that she can go back when the bullies have had their share. Also, as their head is in the feeder, if she does get pecked, it is on her back, and not on her huge leghorn comb, which was getting peck marks all over it. I also love the fact that the food is totally dry and protected from the rain. I know longer have to run out I the rain to put the food away, knowing that once the food gets wet, it can go sour. Once of the main things that also is fantastic compared to some of the other options around (which are also very expensive), is the fact that there are no moving parts. This means it is maintenance free and weather-proof, but the main advantage is that there is nothing to scare the chooks when they are feeding. No clanging or opening and shutting. This means that it is very easy to train the chooks to use the feeder. My chooks learned to eat out of the feeder within minutes. They were a little dubious at first, and then I gently trained the calmest chook's head to the feeder so she could understand what it was there for. It wasn't long that when one started, the others followed. We always had the plan to cover the chook yard as well to make it more secure from predators and safer when we are away. We purchased some netting from Dine-a-Chook and have installed it. It is fantastic quality, and I am sure it will last for years. At the same time I decided I should have purchased the feeder and water set – I was so taken on the quality and performance of the feeder. I purchased the the cup style drinker. At first I thought the chooks may have trouble operating it, but they also learned very quickly. It is fantastic as it is mounted right next to the feeder. They then have it on hand whenever they need a drink. I have put the both of them outside in their run where they spend most of the time (near their gate, where they wait to be let out!!). I find the Wet-a-Chook is excellent – no algae build up, lots of clean, fresh water. Make sure it is mounted not too low, as chooks can scratch up dirt into the cup. As a backup in the shed for at night, I have another high volume waterer. It is a good idea to have lots of water available. Overall, I am a very happy chook owner with my Dine-a-Chook products. I cannot stop recommending them to other chook owners. As a bonus, I can actually see the improvement in my chooks too! They look so much sleeker, even my old ISA Brown who was a bit on the scrawny side has put on condition, too. Having unlimited food and water on hand is the best way to ensure happy, healthy chooks and the best egg supply possible! Kerry, Adelaide
