Why Choose Dine-A-Chook Chicken Feeders?
- Waste-free by design – the patented outlet reduces spillage and flicking.
- Vermin-resistant & weather-resistant – helps deter rats, mice and wild birds; keeps feed dry.
- Australian made – UV-stabilised, industrial-grade ASA plastic for long life outdoors.
- Low maintenance – large capacity gives you days between refills.

Typical feeders vs Dine‑A‑Chook
Not all chicken feeders are created equal. Traditional troughs, hanging feeders and cheap plastic options often waste feed, attract pests, and break down outdoors. Dine‑A‑Chook takes a different approach — our patented Australian‑made design eliminates common problems and delivers a cleaner, longer‑lasting solution for backyard chicken keepers.
Typical feeder | Common issues | Dine‑A‑Chook advantage | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Troughs & open trays | → | High feed waste, attracts pests, feed gets wet | → | Waste‑reducing outlet, vermin‑resistant, keeps feed dry |
Hanging / gravity feeders | → | Flicking & spillage, hard to weather‑shield | → | Angled rain hood, enclosed outlet prevents flicking |
Cheap thin plastic | → | Cracks, UV damage, short lifespan | → | UV‑stabilised ASA plastic, Australian made, built to last |
With Dine‑A‑Chook, you save feed, reduce pests, and invest once in a feeder that’s built to last.

FAQs About Chicken Feeders
What size chicken feeder do I need for my flock?
For up to 4 hens, choose the 3.5 L Small Feeder (about 3–4 days between refills). For 6–8 hens, the 4.7 L Large Feeder is ideal (around 4–5 days). Multi‑packs extend the time between refills.
Are Dine‑A‑Chook feeders vermin‑resistant?
Yes. The design helps deter rats, mice and wild birds from accessing feed. Pair with good coop hygiene for the best results. We describe our feeders as vermin‑resistant, not vermin‑proof.
Do they keep feed dry?
Yes. The angled rain hood and enclosed outlet help keep feed dry in bad weather when installed correctly.
Which feed types work best?
Commercial layer pellets flow best and minimise waste. Most crumble and many mixed grains also work; monitor consumption when changing feed.
How long will a feeder last?
Made in Brisbane from UV‑stabilised ASA plastic, Dine‑A‑Chook feeders are built for years of outdoor use.
