RentACoop Small Chicken Treat Dispenser

Simple set up, good quality, I think my chickens will figure it out soon not sure it’s worth the money but I would buy it again.

Our chickens love this treat dispenser!!

I added wooden craft beads to the dispenser to keep the tubes from moving too close to the chicken run wall (see picture). The beads also keep the tubes slightly apart. I had the wooden beads left over from a prior project where we built a chicken swing. I had purchased an assorted pack at Michaels near me for that project and it was enough for both projects.

Do not bring the treats in a bag to refill the dispensers or the chickens will tear a whole in it or take it away from you. I now have plastic bowls with lids (old salsa, feta cheese, or cottage cheese containers) to take the treats to the chicken run. I pinch the sides of the bowl to fill the dispenser. Another option would be to fill a water bottle to transport the treats to the chicken run.

This clever invention from Rent A Coop has been a great addition to our quail coop (see photos). 5 stars, quail approved. It keeps them entertained as they can self-dispense their BSFL treats throughout the day after I hand feed as much as they want to eat in the AM. For our 16 full grown quail, this will last on average one day, so I fill it 1-2x/day, depending on how hungry they are, but YMMV. I’ll be ordering another one for the other coop as our covey grows. Super easy to mount to the wooden frame of the coops with two stainless screws. I really appreciate how sturdy this was designed and made. As far as filling, I keep their treats in a large Rubberm*de cereal storage container, pop the whole lid off, and scoop the dispenser tubes through the treats until full. Super quick and easy. I also highly recommend the Rent a Coop horizontal water nipples, what a game changer for keeping the birds healthy and hydrated with almost no fuss or maintenance! Thank you Rent a Coop!

The holes are to big the treats fall right out. I ended up putting blueberries in the larger hole container they liked that but the scratch treats came out as fast as I poured it in. I’m going to have to make some sorta insert into the cap to adjust the flow. May you all should do this instead of the customer when you’re paying $30 for an enrichment toy.

I thought the holes were too big but it works!

My chickens love their RentACoop treat dispenser!I usually put dried meal worms in there and they go crazy for it every time. Such a great way to entertain them in their coop as well. Recommended for all chicken keepers :)

love!!!

a bit overpriced, but it is good quality and will last

My chickens absolutely love this! The only downside I could give is the holes on the bottom need to be a little smaller. The treats fall out easily after you feel it up. It takes them about 10 minutes to empty it.Ita easy to assemble. Good for what I paid.It functions great.

Love it! Chickens figured it out fast.

My chickens go crazy when they see me coming to fill these! They are awesome and really keep them busy for a long time! Great chicken enrichment.

Easy to mount. Chickens had no problem figuring how to use. Wish they held a bit more so the fun would last longer than 10 minutes, but then again they are meant for treats so it shouldn’t be a constant flow.

Chickens really seem to enjoy this and had no trouble figuring it out once treats were loaded up. It’s reasonably sturdy and easy to use. An end cap popped off after a week or so, but snapped right back on.

The chickens love it, but the red knob keeps getting twisted off and getting lost.

This was easy to put together, and the chickens learned quickly how to use it. It came with two different ends where the treat comes out. The problem is even the smallest holes are too large, and the seed ours out of it too quickly.

Easy to use and the girls had fun!

My chickens love it! It didn't take them long to figure out how to make the treats drop

I really appreciate this company for providing durable feeders, waterers, and now this fun toy. Thank you for sharing what works on your farm with all of us.

As soon as I walk by this treat dispenser my chickens go nuts! They love their worms and this makes it fun!

This was so simple to set up and it’s easy entertainment for the chickens and easy entertainment for me as I watch them! Love that it’s simple to move around and not a permanent location so I can put it in or out of their enclosed run. Highly recommend! The tubes have two different caps each that have different sized holes to dispense the treats. It’s perfect for different sized treats!

Our chickens love this. Good toy to keep them interested not bored

It's nice that they can't just inhale their bugs now...

The girls love it! My only issue is I repeatedly have to find one of the red screw cap pieces on the end. Last time I lost it for a week and finally found it in the coop. Currently it's missing again and I can't seem to buy the little end piece I need to keep the tubes on. Other than that it's great! I ended up putting some of the hintastic treats in it and I don't have to worry about it. If I ever find it I'm going to glue it on!

This product is great for keeping my chickens busy. I like to try and find things to keep them from getting too bored and pecking each other, they love this and keeps them busy for a while!

My chickens love to get treats in this toy. There are two different dispensing options. One cap has a single larger opening which works well with larger dried mealworms. The other cap has 3 smaller holes in it which work great for dispensing black soldier fly larva. When I installed it, I envisioned the chickens pecking it so it would swing and treats would sprinkle out, but they seem so prefer pecking underneath at the openings. Sometimes a few treats fall out and sometimes the tubes get a little swing and a few pieces come out. I raised the toy a little from the height I originally had placed it so they could use it the way they prefer. To get it ready, I have found it is easiest to slide the treat tube on the metal bar with the treat opening up, and then gently rotate the tube down. That limits the treats that come out while setting it up. My only wish was that the little endcap that screws on had an opening on only one side so it wouldn't screw past the end of the cap.
