Loading... Please wait...These drinkers and feeders overcome many of the common problems associated with the metal or plastic feeders that you regularly see in pet or fodder stores. We regularly had customers asking us how to prevent a range of problems they were experiencing with their drinkers and feeders (and to be honest, we had the same problems with our chickens). So we decided to make our own!
Please note: due to the popularity of these sets we currently have a two-three week wait due to a delay from one of our parts suppliers.
Our new drinkers overcome the problems of evaporation, spillage and soiled water. These drinkers incorporate a professional valve operated drinker cup (used by poultry experts) that only allow a small amount of water in the red cup at any one time. When the chickens come to drink, they naturally move the yellow 'tongue' with their beaks which brings more water into the cup. With the traditional drinkers, we regularly had to change the water, as the chickens had scratched dirt into the drinker. Like us, chickens need a fresh supply of clean water. The drinkers holds approximately 4 litres of water and are 50cm tall.
Our new feeders overcome the common problem of feed wastage. We used to have so much grain wasted by chickens who would scratch all their feed onto the ground in search of the tastiest piece of grain! This is a very common thing for chickens to do. The uniquely designed tray that forms part of this feeder, has special divisions which discourages the chickens from 'swiping' the grain from the feed tray and onto the ground. Many dollars are saved using this type of feeder. The feeders hold approximately 3kg of feed and are 50cm tall.
The drinker and feeders are also:
If you would like two feeders or two drinkers rather that one of each, the price is the same. Just let us know after you order, so we can package up the right combination for you.
This is what some of our customers have had to say:
Drinker and feeder sets are currently to be dispatched in 2-3 weeks time due to a supplier delay. For individual sets we use Australia Post and TNT for orders of more than one set.
These feeders will need to be kept under cover in wet weather to prevent water entering the feeder tray. Some finer grain mixes are unsuitable to use in these feeders in damp weather, as moisture is absorbed into the feed which affects the flow of the grain into the tray.
