This DIY feeder kit enables customers to create cost-effective feeders using buckets. Shoppers praised it as "easy to install and keep clean" with excellent waste reduction and weather protection. However, several noted the medium ports are "too small for adult birds," requiring modifications. Feed flow issues occur with finer feeds that clog ports. Works best for chicks and smaller breeds.
I purchased this product from RentACoop after watching a YouTube video on how to make a DIY chicken feeder with a 5 gallon bucket. The YouTube channel host had been using their products and showed how easy the setup was as well as the positive thoughts that went into the design. I would definitely purchase this product again. I would recommend RentACoop brand as well.

This is great! The drill makes it really easy, and now I have a feeder for when I have to put a chicken in solitary!
The size is perfect!
These are perfect for our chicken coop. We currently have 13 and they all use these very well. Absolutely nothing bad to say about this product. Also assembly was easy, the value for your money is worth the purchase, and no leakage. Highly recommend!
I was hoping they had a bigger opening.
They aren't quite big enough for an adult bird, So i've had to modify them in order for them to get to the feed. The ones they sold that were part of the metal containers were perfect, don't know why they quit selling those feeders.

The best feeders. No waste .
Absolutely love this product! My chickens all love it. We had a flash flood warming. The bucket I had the food it was only covered a foot over by the roof. None of the food got wet!

I couldn’t be happier with the RentACoop Chicken Feeder DIY Kit! As someone who enjoys a hands-on project, this kit made it super easy to build a sturdy, functional feeder for my hens. The instructions were clear, the components were high quality, and the end result looks and works great.
What I really love is how it keeps the feed dry and clean, and it drastically reduced the amount of waste and mess I used to deal with. My chickens caught on quickly and started using it right away. Plus, the rain-proof design has held up really well through a couple of heavy storms.
It’s a cost-effective solution that lets you repurpose a bucket or container you already have, which I appreciated. I’d definitely recommend this kit to any backyard chicken keeper looking for a fun, practical upgrade to their setup!

perfect for all age chickens, love this company so much!
This is my 2nd set from this seller. Love it. I use it for my quail and I have very minimal food loss. I put them in a 5gal bucket. Works perfectly.
I am thrilled that my chickens are no longer tossing food all over the ground, which goes to waste because they don’t eat very much of it up when that happens.
Now the food stays in the container, which happens to be a 5 gallon bucket, and there’s no more waste and no more battling over food.
I can’t stress enough how wonderful this product is if you have chickens. So far I haven’t had any mice try to get the food, but it is elevated off the ground so I’m sure that helps. But, there is a little panel that you can close at night to protect the food if needed.
I have friends who have bought knock offs and are so disappointed that they don’t work as advertised. I always stress to them that they have to get their items from RentACoop!!

This has made my life so much easier and made my chickens happy, happy, happy.
Added 4 into a 5 gallon bucket. Works great. I like it that it has a plate where you can close the opening. No more wasted feed.

I used these in a 5gal bucket I already had. Cutting made a mess, but it worked. I just wish the came with suggestions on how high off the bottom to place these. I seem to have put them too close together and too close to the bottom so the feed doesn't flow unless I shake the bucket at least once a day. Now that the chicks will be moving to hen feed I will have to get another bucket and try staggering the height of the holes. Overall these are great, I just had a learning experience.

No chicken food being wasted
This product works well. It doesn’t leak the food out everywhere. We put it in a 35 gallon trash bin
