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

Very easy to install. Very pleased with the product food stays clean far less wastage of chicken feed on the ground. everything seems to stay inside the container highly recommended and will purchase again.

These feeder ports are great, and allow you to make feeders which are infinitely better than the off-the-shelf options currently available. Commercial feeders are overpriced, undersized, and poorly designed.Building your own feeder is a much smarter and more cost-effective option. You need a hand drill, a suitable container, and about 10 minutes to spare. You can use a cheap and easy 5 gallon bucket with a lid, or if you have a larger flock, a trash can. I used a 32 gallon can, and it holds 2x 50lb bags of feed.Oriented properly, these ports keep rain, dirt, and poop out, and greatly reduce feed spillage and waste. Feeders can be indoors or out. In the case of an indoor feeder where space or access is limited, an outdoor hopper can easily be added, so that the feeder will self-fill through gravity, and the hopper becomes easy to reach and fill.One note: the 3" diameter hole saw that is included, is a bit shallow (about 1/2" cutting depth), and the teeth are coarse. This can make drilling into smaller containers, such as 4" PVC pipe, a bit tricky. The hole saw can usually be rocked side to side to handle this, but for tightly curved surfaces, a deeper hole saw may be needed. Drilling through metal, like a galvanized steel trash can, could be tricky with the coarse teeth. These are fine for wood and plastic, but seem like they could snag on sheet metal. A hole saw designed for sheet metal, or a carbide grit version, may be helpful here.

Our chicken run was overrun with rats. I tried a variety of feeders but none proved to be rat resistant - until this one. I installed the plastic feeders in a big plastic bucket and hung it from a tripod so that the chickens have to stretch slightly to get at the feed. We haven't seen a rat in the chicken run for over two months. They just can't get at the feed and seem to have moved on.

exactly as described, im about to buy more, great product, thanks

Love this, its easy and water proof. I no longer have to feed the chickens every day. They knew how to eat from it right away. Just remember to check the food level regularly
