The Original Poultry Pro DIY Chicken Feeder | 3 Ports Poultry Feeders for Chicken Coop | Use for Buckets & Bins | Rain Proof, Weather Resistant - Original Feeder 3-Pack with Hole Saw

I purchased the 3 port capacity for my chickens. I just purchased a 5 gallon bucket with a lid from my local hardware store. The instructions included are very simple and clear. I was very impressed that included is a circular blade attachment for an drill. And I was able to set it all up without any assistance from anyone. This design really has completely eliminated any wasted food due to rain. I was hoping this would deter rodents, though it has not. At least I don't believe the rodents are able to get inside the bucket, but I'm not 100% sure, however, there is always some feed left on the ground, not too much though. I have my bucket elevated on a small stand, and when the feed runs low, there have been times when the bucket has toppled over, but typically it's sturdy and my hens have no issues eating from it. I love that you can select and size bucket/container that works for you, it's very versatile and has made my life much easier and I feel better that I've had no wasted feed.

I really like how this product keeps the chicken feeder dry even in the rain. It really prevents waste by keeping the chickens from just pulling food onto the ground.Very easy to install with the included hole saw. I added a screw top lid to make it easy to fill.Highly recommend!!As much as I really like the feeder is equally how I dislike the water attachment!! When you fill the bucket and attach the water bottom, the bottom always partially detaches and spills out a portion of the water. I find it tends to leak as well.Summary : Feeder great - Waterer not!!

We purchased these for our small flock only 6 months ago. I took the feeders apart to wash them before refilling (which we have only done twice total) and one of the pieces broke as I was rinsing it. There were no drops or mishandling it, it just gently came apart as I ran water over it. The part that broke was the inside of the port ring so it's not exposed to sun and we don't get terribly cold weather here. For how well we have taken care of these, their age, and the overall price, I'm very disappointed they didn't last longer and would not continue to recommend them unfortunately.To review the idea of this feeder instead of the quality: we originally put all 3 ports on 1 5-gallon bucket and hung it from our coop. We quickly switched to using 3 5-gallon buckets with 1 port in each so that we could fit a full bag of chicken feed in the containers all at once. This were perfect when we first set it up using crumbles, no mess at all. I was beyond impressed and happy with my purchase. Everything was perfect, so naturally, I wanted to shake things up... We switched to pellets and our chickens immediately went on an eating strike. The strike took a turn for the worse when the tiny dinosaurs began eating parts of their coop and run instead of their actual food. Their eggs became alarmingly deformed with the main nutritional content being styrofoam from a trampoline mat. Management had no choice but to gave in to their demands, returning to the feed store to purchase crumbles once again. From that day forward the chickens have decided to fling their crumble everywhere as a reminder that they are the ones in charge here.

Excellent product (both waterer and feeder) and support! I’ve been creating my own feeders for numerous years now at great expense using schedule 40 PVC elbows. The Poultry Pro Feeders are extremely simple to assemble and work well. The drinker base is an ingenious device as well. Very well thought out!I did have one of the two drinker bases that I ordered arrive cracked and unusable. However, when I reached out to Erik At Riverbend Resources, LLC , he promptly responded and send out a replacement. Top quality customer service. I highly recommend the products from Riverbend Resources, and will continue to use there products myself.

Easy to setup and makes it easy to keep water fresh and clean.

This design is fantastic. This waterer is easy to set up for immediate use. Nothing leaks and it’s easy to clean. I’m using this for two bantam chickens who figured it out right away. I would definitely buy another one for other small animals on my farm.

I like the theory of this waterer as you can use it on almost any 5 gallon bucket, however, it is not very sturdy. The good: it fit a 5 gallon bucket, which I really liked the idea since buckets are readily available. It is easy to clean, functions exactly as it should. All you have to do is keep it in a fairly level surface. The bad: the plastic is rigid and not really very thick on the bottom. With changing temperatures, this makes it easy to split or break during cold weather when you are attaching it to the bucket because you have to give it some force to snap it on the bucket. I wish it were made out of a more flexible material such as some of the other waters. I felt like the price was fair until it only lasted 6 months. I won’t buy another like this because it is too fragile.

When I received this product it was missing a component that the company promptly responded to and fixed the issue. I am now a day into using the waterer and it is FANTASTIC!! So much better than the cups or nipples I have used previously. I hope to get years and years of use out of it. It is so easy to clean out when refilling. And with it being a full 5 gallons it lasts quite a while before needing to be refilled. Happy customer! (Thanks, Erik)
