Why our Chicken Feeders are best
Unlike treadle feeders or trough-like feeders, the Dine-A-Chook Feeder does not have any moving parts. Also it is rain proof so your feed will not get wet in the rain. Of most importance, our feeder keeps the chickens out of the feed. Chickens are their own worst enemy when it comes to feed contamination! These inquisitive creatures are more than happy to hop about in the feed, spreading the dirt and fecal matter on their feet into what they are about to eat.
By keeping your birds out of their feed and keeping the rain out and the feed dry you will have a chicken feeder that is more hygienic with less attraction to rodents.
Difference between ASA and PVC plastic
Genuine Dine-A-Chook uses ASA thermoplastic. Compared to PVC, ASA is significantly more resistant to environmental stress in the outdoors. It retains its gloss and resists cracking or deterioration in the elements far better than PVC. Quality outdoor furniture uses ASA because of its strength and durability in an out-of-doors environment. When buying genuine Dine-A-Chook, you are buying the best in design as well as construction and materials.
The Dine-A-Chook style of Poultry Feeder is also known as:
- Tube feeder
- Silo feeder
- Pipe feeder
- Automatic chicken feeder
But over 50,000 backyard chicken keepers worldwide simply call Dine-A-Chook Feeders their best mate.

FAQ
Q. How many chickens will each feeder suit?
A. As a guide, each large feeder is typically suited to around 6–8 hens, depending on breed, diet, and how much they free-range. With a twin pack, spacing the feeders apart helps reduce crowding and ensures more even access for the flock.
Q. Will my chickens use it straight away?
A. Most flocks work it out quickly. Cautious birds can take a little longer — especially if they’ve been bowl-fed. Removing other feed sources and allowing time to adapt usually helps.
Q. What height should the feeders be installed?
A. There’s no fixed height. Mount each feeder so the bottom of the feeding opening aligns with the back of your chicken’s neck when she’s standing naturally. If you have mixed sizes, set them for your smaller birds.
Q. What type of feed works best?
A. Quality complete feeds such as crumble and pellets flow most consistently and help reduce selective eating. Grain or scratch mixes — particularly those containing molasses — can clump in humid conditions and may restrict flow.
Q. Does this feeder stop rats and mice?
A. The design is vermin-resistant, not vermin-proof. It helps by reducing feed on the ground (the main attraction), but established rodent problems still require trapping or baiting alongside good coop hygiene.
Q. How do I clean the feeders?
A. The base cap unscrews for cleaning access. Most feeders don’t need frequent cleaning with good-quality feed, but it’s worth inspecting periodically and cleaning as needed with warm soapy water. Rinse and allow them to fully dry before refilling.
Q. Can other birds use these feeders?
A. Yes. Customers also use these feeders for other poultry such as ducks and geese. The main consideration is mounting height so the bird can eat comfortably without stretching or crouching.
