DIY Chicken Feeder Rain Proof Poultry Feeder Port Gravity Feed Kit for Buckets, Barrels, Bins, Troughs

We have another brand of these chicken feeder ports and have been pleased with them. When one of our hens decided to hatch out some baby chicks for us, we realized we needed another feeder bucket so they wouldn't be crowded. The ones we ordered before are no longer available, so we decided to try these. They are much larger and at first my husband wasn't sure they would fit very well on a round bucket. But they do and even the little chicks can eat out of them. They do scatter some feed around, but that's just what chickens do! Having the hole saw made the project very easy. We have them in a 5 gallon bucket, which holds enough feed to last a while. These also came with covers so you can close the ports off. We have trouble with mice from time to time, so that might come in handy if we need to close up the ports at night to keep them out. All in all, we highly recommend these!

Very easy to set up and happy so far with this kit. Came with everything needed to use with a 5 gallon food grade bucket with water tight, snap- tight fitting lid that I bought at Tractor Supply. The bucket with feeder kit installed is kept under the cover of a roof in the run, sheltered from rain. My 6 week old pullets figured out how to use it right away, no issues whatsoever. I love that it comes with plug caps to plug it up at night to stop rodents from eating the feed. Yes, there’s going to be some spillage because chickens are messy and they do push some feed out onto the ground. This is no big deal to me, as the main reason I purchased the kit was so I could fill a 5 gallon bucket and if I have to go away for a couple days, I know my chickens have plenty of fresh, dry feed to eat. I’ve been plugging the holes an hour or 2 before the girls head up to coop to roost, so they only have whatever feed they’ve spilled on the ground left to eat, and they tend to clean most of it up.

The media could not be loaded. Best design I've seen yet! My chickens figured it out right away and I now have less waste. I was a bit concerned my turkey's head wouldn't fit, but he figured it out within a few mins. He's 20 years old and had no problem understanding the concept. The caps are a huge plus for me! I have struggled to keep wild birds away during the day and mice away at night. This system works great. I bought a see through 32gallon Rubermaid feed bucket and put it on wheels. Now I can keep a couple bags of feed in there at a time. I tried a diy system years ago, this is so much better. I highly recommend

I thought this was very easy to use and kept the feed dry. However, my chickens didn’t seem to use it as much as other feeders. My chickens prefer to see the food.

I was totally surprised this works well. I was skeptical, but the chicken seemed to love it. My only suggestion is get the six pack rather than the four pack the chickens getting impatient, waiting for take turns. Six will fit easily into a 5 gallon bucket. Cutting down on a lot of wasted chicken feed. This product will pay for itself very very quickly.

Came with everything needed (except bucket of course). Easy and fun to create. Quality material and lightening fast delivery!

I do not usually write reviews, but this is the best item for making a feeder for poultry! Should have done it years ago! They love it too! I have recommended it to many chicken owners!

Great product very easy to build feeder took 15min
