This yellow Closure Cap is designed to fit all Dine-A-Chook Chicken Feeders, offering a simple and effective way to temporarily block feed access when needed. Whether you're managing pests, taking a break from feeding, or adjusting your coop routine, this cap adds convenience and control to your poultry care system.
Supports Better Pest Management
Many backyard chicken keepers face challenges with rats, sparrows, and even ibis gaining access to open feed. While no feeder is completely rat-proof, this closure cap offers a helpful solution by sealing off the outlet, especially overnight or during non-feeding hours. It works best as part of a multi-faceted pest control plan that includes coop hygiene and safe baiting practices.
We recommend pairing this cap with our Rat Bait Station and Poultry-Safe Rat Bait for a complete strategy.
Simple, Durable, and Built for Dine-A-Chook Systems
3D printed from high-quality PETG plastic, this closure cap is UV-stable and weather-resistant. It’s easy to apply and remove without tools, and is engineered specifically to fit Dine-A-Chook Chicken Feeders – no guesswork or modifications required. Add one to your order for extra peace of mind when managing feed access or discouraging unwanted visitors in the coop.

When should I use a feeder closure cap?
The closure cap is ideal for temporary use—such as at night or when rotating feeding routines—to prevent pest access to feed. It’s a smart addition for chicken keepers looking to improve rodent and bird control without modifying their entire setup.
Will this cap stop rats from accessing my chicken feed?
It helps, but it’s not a standalone rat-proof solution. Rats are persistent and can chew through many materials. This cap blocks direct access to feed but should be used in conjunction with a clean coop, proper feed storage, and a safe baiting strategy. We recommend our bait station and Poultry-Safe Rat Bait for full protection.
Does this help with pest birds like sparrows or ibis?
Yes. Blocking feed access discourages birds like sparrows, which may relocate when food is no longer available. For ibis, sealing the feeder during non-use hours is typically enough to drive them off. Managing feeding times (e.g., morning and evening) can help retrain local bird behaviour.
Is it compatible with all Dine-A-Chook Feeders?
Yes – this cap is precision-designed to fit all standard Dine-A-Chook Chicken Feeders. No tools or adjustments required.
What material is the cap made from?
It’s made from premium PETG plastic – UV-resistant and built for long-term outdoor exposure. It's printed in-house to the exact specifications of our system.
