Our Story
G'day, I'm Ryan Biggin. Back in 2009, my wife Kara and I got some backyard chooks for the kids. Like most people, we'd only heard the good stuff — fresh eggs, happy hens, the kids would love it.
Nobody mentioned the downsides. The wasted feed from Townsville's tropical rain. The rats helping themselves to dinner. The cheap feeders that fell apart or melted in the North Queensland sun. I was ready to give up and go back to buying eggs from the shops.
That's when my Dad stepped in. He's a retired mechanical engineer who, honestly, had zero interest in chickens. But he could see the kids loved them, and he had a shed full of tools and time on his hands. So we started tinkering.
Prototype after prototype. Testing, failing, modifying. Most ideas were based on what was already on the market — and that was the problem. We had to throw out the rulebook and start fresh. That's when things clicked.
The result? A feeder that's virtually indestructible, keeps rain and rats out, and puts 99.9% of the feed where it belongs — in your chooks. What started as a backyard project is now trusted by over 80,000 chicken keepers across Australia and around the world.
