Customers praised this durable metal feeder as "the best" for poultry, with a magnetic lid and no-waste design. Many noted it's "well constructed" and ideal for small flocks or brooders. However, some found the feed port too small for larger birds and hooks too short for certain wire setups. Customers appreciated the anti-vermin sliding feature and rust-resistant construction.

Absolutely love this—I’m using it as an Oyster Shell & Black Soldier Fly Larvae feeder! No more mess, no more waste. It was a breeze to put together, and the magnetic top is amazingly strong. Perfect size and looks great alongside my other RentACoop waterers and feeders. Exactly what I was looking for—already planning to grab another for grit! I’ll be adding custom lettering to the front of each container to make them look extra cute and help me easily remember which goes where.

TL;DR; Very high Quality single port feeder;
We raise poultry on a homestead scale farm operation.
The small details make this an excellent feeder.
Unit is 6” wide (6 ¼”) with hardware. By 3 ½” deep. And 8 ¼” tall. Easy to assemble. It has magnets for the lid so nothing is knocking it off. All the corners are nicely bent and professional.
The slide for food access is tough to close - with feed dust and grime I imagine it to be useless.
The hanger is good for small hardware cloth only - limited with its use out of the box, although easily adapted.
I’m not sure a 3 day old chick could use this. They would have to get right in there to get food. Awesome unit, but unless you only have a few chickens you either need a bunch or a much bigger one.
5 stars – high price and high quality. Good match of listing to item.
How I review:
Reviews start with 5 stars and I subtract points.
- 0 for value but I try to provide guidance
-0.5 to -3 for product not matching description e.g. stainless steel is actually plated steel
-0.5 to -3 for product missing badly on execution
I select products carefully so low (1-3 scores) are rare but detailed comments and critiques almost always are in the review. Most of my reviews come out 4-5 range.
If possible I dismantle or destroy items to examine inner workings.

I am loving RentACoop more and more. This medium port chicken feeder is the 3rd product I am purchased from them. This is by far the best quality of a port feeder I’ve ever owned. I love that the lid is magnetic! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve struggled with the plastic lids and plastic containers. I seem to always have something else in my hand and this lid being magnetic makes this a one handed job. This was very easy to assemble. It comes with a manual, but I didn’t need it. I also really like the hooks to hang this box. They are like little swivel latches. Very unique. The latches makes this so easy to hang on hardware mesh. At $34.95 this is exactly as described. I’m a repeat customer, so obviously I highly recommend!

This feeder from the RentACoop store is made of sturdy metal, which is an upgrade compared to my other plastic feeders. It was easy to install, especially since I had some previous experience with other types of feeders. What I like the most is how easily it can attach and detach from the chicken run sides. It is waterproof, but I also placed it in a place where the coop is covered by a tarp, to make sure rain does not reach inside if it falls from the direction of the opening. The size is small for several chickens, so this is not my main feeder. I use it for oyster shells, which my hens eat to supplement their calcium intake. I am very pleased with this feeder, and I highly recommend it!
This is the perfect little compact, mess free feeder. It is really quick to assemble and hangs well on chicken wire or sits upright on a flat surface. The lid is my favorite part, because it is magnetized. You can carry it by the handle, even full of feed, and the lid stays secure. I am personally using it as a feeder for inside my coop for the chicks at night time. It would also be perfect for a chick brooder box as it's compact and easy to refill from the top without removing.

It hangs nicely from hardware cloth, the lid stays on well, love feeding ports in general, but…-it is too heavy to hang from the hardware cloth for too long, it will damage it-the feeding port works for smaller birds but is too small for full size birds to comfortably get their head in :( Other reviews said this too but I decided to try it myself since the concept and size was exactly what I was looking for.I am going to cut the hole in the port much bigger, which means I can’t close it off anymore :/

Not convenient for hanging in coop
While I'm a huge fan of Rent-A-Coop products, this one is a miss for full grown hens because the opening is just too small, so they are not using it. Might be good for smaller birds but not full grown hens. The hooks work great for attaching to hardware cloth and the weight isn't too much for that mounting method.
Ive tried many different styles of feeders for my quail over the 5 or so years ive raised them. This is the best. Durable well constructed and has a great capacity. Im gradually replacing those junky plastic trough feeders with these.
No spilling of the food, easy to refill. Best feeder I have used in my 40 years with poultry. Many thanks!

This feeder is great for small chicken coop with half a dozen or less birds. Got this for my replacement pre-teen hens that aren't quite ready to join the big girls yet. My young ladies are 3-4 months old (ready to be outside, yet not old enough to be in our main coop and run, though they share fence between the runs to get to know each other safely. Rent-a-coop makes quality poultry products and is a trustworthy brand.

This little feeder is nice out in the chicken run so the chickens can have food available at all times. The feeder box and lid are galvanized to prevent rust. There is a large plastic feed hole with a shroud that adult chickens can use. They supply two hanging hooks, one on each side to hang in your chicken run fencing.
