Waste-Reducing Design
With Dine-A-Chook, you’ll never have to sweep up spilled, ruined feed again. Our feeders require chickens to fully insert their heads to access food, preventing waste and saving you money.
Rodent Resistant
Rodents love easy access to food, but our feeders help keep your coop less attractive to rats, mice, and pest birds by keeping feed off the ground and in the feeder.
Weather-Proofing System
Tested in the tropical downpours of North Queensland, our patented rain hood and gutter system keeps feed dry even in the wettest weather. The unique click-together design has no screws or joins to leak in the rain.
Why We Use ASA Thermoplastic
Our feeders are made from ASA thermoplastic, which is more resistant to environmental stress than PVC. ASA retains its gloss and resists cracking or deterioration, making it ideal for outdoor use. All ASA components are UV-treated for additional durability.
Getting the Most Out of Your Feeder
We recommend using pellet or mash feed to discourage selective feeding. Scratch mixes encourage chickens to eat only their favorite grains, leading to waste and nutritional deficiencies. Pellet or mash feed ensures better nutrition and less waste.
Easy Installation
Install your Dine-A-Chook Automatic ASA Feeder in minutes with the supplied mounting kit. Suitable for timber, colour-bond, and some wire-mesh setups.
Where to Place Your Feeder
- Small Coops: Near the door or just inside, away from the sun and elements
- Large Runs: One feeder near the coop and another on the run's cage wire, in a shady spot
For best results, install feeders inside a rodent-proof coop.
