RentACoop 25lb BPA-Free Chicken Feeder with 4 Large Ports and Adjustable Stand - Center Placement

Best feeder ever they dont waste anymore

We run our chickens in electric netting paddocks and rotate them. The feeders are used outside and the plastic practically disintegrated after a year. I wouldn’t recommend these to anyone planning to use them outdoors. The plastic is so brittle and snaps off in shards and is completely unsafe. I was pressing the lid onto the container and it caved in.

I purchased the feeder and Waterer for my 5 hens. My hens are in a nice size coop 24/7 due to all the predators I have here in the country. Both work extremely well and stay free of droppings. Also there is very little waste which is a great money saver. I do have one problem, because I use pine shavings on the floor of the coop, I have constant pine shavings in the feeder opening. I have to clear the shavings twice a day. I have raised the feeder up on cement blocks but I have one bantam hen so I have to be careful not to get the feeder too high for her. I try to keep the shavings at a minimum but they do help keep the floor clean and reduce odor. Also dust cakes around the water spouts so I clean those daily with a spray water bottle. I would highly recommend both. I live in Texas and it’s very hot. I no longer worry about the chickens running out of water.

We bought this Chicken 2-port corner feeder 3 months ago for our 2 new pullets, Barbara Ann and Rhonda. It looks great with the matching red/white nipple waterer (also from Rent-A-Coop) in their "Little Deuce Coop" that we built for them. It's very sturdy and great that you can see how much feed is left through the translucent container (true with the waterer also). This holds a lot of feed, so for just 2 chickens we should only have to refill it every several months.

We have about 4" of coarse sand at the bottom of the coop, so we made bases to sit the feeder and waterer on top of that raises them about 6" higher. They immediately starting eating and drinking out of both containers...cheekins are so smart! They still drop some outside in the run near the feeder which has actually sprouted into edible grass making their run even more interesting for them!

Now we can spend more time watching and playing with our new pets. If someone (are you listening Rent-A-Coop???) would just make an automatic roost cleaner, our chores would be done except collecting the eggs of course!

UPDATE: My chickens are still enjoying their feeder. It has made feeding much easier and not have to worry about them having their food. I did run into a bit of a snag. I ended up having a problem with mice. Little suckers figure how to get in the openings and have a feast. I wasn't sure what to do so I posted on the "question & answers". The owners left a message to contact them. I did and they sent me some caps for the feeder. I got them the other day and they are perfect. I do have to take them out every morning but that's not a problem since I have to let the chickens out of the coop anyway. ..... This company takes care of their customers. I will be expanding my chicken pen and will probably add another feeder since I plan on getting a few more chickens. *Thank you RentaCoop for resolving my issue.

My girls took to this right away. They love it! I love it. I'm not sure how long it will hold up in this Arizona heat. I will just buy another one. That is how much I like this feeder. Before I had so much waste. I use pellets and the feeder I had before everything landed on the ground. I have four hens and I buy 20 lbs of feed at a time cause I can't life more than that. Wish I had seen this before I spent all that money on the other feeder that the food kept getting wet. We are having rain now and food is nice and dry.

Been using these feeders for a couple of years they are great and you can put a large quantity of feed in them, but my chickens have no feathers left on their necks because going in and out of the holes rubs their feathers off ….thinking of switching to a different kind of feeder because they look terrible.

This is the best chicken feeder. It’s a bit more than what wanted to pay but it makes up for all the food that’s not wasted. I have 15 chickens so I just purchased another one

I’ve always loved RentACoop products and currently use two of their 10 lb 4-port feeders with zero issues. Because of that, I decided to upgrade to this larger feeder so I wouldn’t have to refill as often.Unfortunately, this one has been a big disappointment. The amount of feed my chickens are spilling out of it is excessive and has never been a problem with my other RentACoop feeders. At this point, the larger capacity doesn’t even matter because so much feed ends up on the ground.To make matters more frustrating, it looks like I purchased this right before a newer version was released, so I may have gotten an older design.I really wanted to love this like I do their other products, but this one just isn’t working for me. I wish there was a better solution.

Ad for a chicken feeder, it really is great. Everything works just as you hope it will. However, it appears the only way to keep mice out if to suspend it in the air...we've tried everything else. Every night when I go to check that the youngest Flock members have made in to the coop at night, no less than 10 mice come flying out of the feeder :(

I bought this feeder in November 2021. It's now June 2024 and it broke today. While it lasted, it worked perfectly and I was very happy with it. Unfortunately, it's not as UV resistant as I had hoped, so the plastic crumbled after just over 2 1/2 years. I found that they sell just the vents on Amazon, so I'm going to buy them next and make my own for much cheaper using a 5 gallon bucket. We'll see how long my homemade version lasts compared to this one.

I don't write many product reviews, but felt very compelled to write one for the Rent-A-Coop feeder. I made a chicken feeder that seemed to work well (it lived inside the coop but we could fill it from outside the coop) until our hens decided they preferred to carpet their coop in chicken feed. It was disgusting and it was expensive. We were going through a bag of food per week with only four hens and as the weather got damp, the food on the coop floor became foul.

We purchased the Rent-A-Coop and at first I was skeptical. It seemed pricy for what seemed like a bucket with a few thoughtfully placed holes and plastic ducts. But I figured, if it made a bag of chicken feed last even an extra week, it would quickly pay for itself. I'm writing this review because I see the chickens eating from it, but we have been stretching the same bag of food for a lot longer than we ever had. I am now realizing that we ALWAYS had a problem with the chickens wasting food, it just got worse before we bought this product. We would have easily gone through four bags of food by now which would have been substantially more expensive than this feeder. You are paying for the design. And, while it may seem simple, it is a great design. The economics of this purchase turned out to be superb.

The only thing I could wish for is a way to purchase extra lids. If I had an extra lid I could drill a four inch hole in so I could fill the feeder from the outside of the coup using a PVC pipe, I would have the perfect feeder. I just don't want to do anything experimental with the lid if I don't have a way to replace it in case I botch something up. But overall, I am grateful we made the leap and purchased this product. We are happy campers.

I was having a tough time keeping the wild birds of all sizes out of the chicken run where I had the traditional galvanized feeder. Throughout the day, there wasn't a moment birds weren't flying in and just sitting in their food and picking out the layered feed. I tried not leaving food out and throwing feed down on the ground 3x a day but as soon as I'd turn my back, wild birds were down there eating it with them - ugh! I even have wild bird feeders full of food but nope, they ate my girls feed too.

Found this and have been using for about 6 weeks. Not one wild bird has gone in the hole to eat their food! I hardly ever see them fly into the run now and when they do, they hop around a min or two looking but fly off. I'm no longer worried about wild bird poop, lice, mites and whatever else wild birds can pass onto my ladies. Great product!

I realized I never wrote a review on this item when I searched it up to buy another one since my flock has doubled. I read a few bad reviews that really ticked me off.
One that had a 6 week old chick get stuck and die... this one is dumb, it clearly reads not for under age of 12 weeks. Duh!
The other most retarded review said they bought it before the left out of town for 5 days and this was their main food source. So let me get this straight, you bought it before you left without monitoring how your chickens would adapt? Seems like you ARE NOT a good chicken owner! I wish I could comment on the review. Pathetic!!
Once they get used to this it will work great. I have 10 chickens and this is fine but I am still wanting to add another because the feeder is most busy in the morning. If you don't add additional grains to it and just use layer feed they will not make a mess! If you add crap or use crap feed of course they will scoop out what they dont want to get to the 'junk' food or the only good food you have in there.

This feeder is great in many ways. It's held up in rain & snow. The "dome" you can place on top keeps the chickens from roosting on it. Mine just sits in the corner of my run, but I'll probably hang it once we've built our larger run. I like that it has that flexibility. I've been through several feeders, both purchased and homemade, and this is by far the best. My only complaint, and I don't know if it's a flaw with my feeder or if they are all like this for security, but it is really really tough to open the top. I love that the lid keeps out weather and moisture, but it's a struggle and takes a good bit of hand/finger strength to open. It came with instructions for how to open it, and I've followed them, but it still is a struggle. And although the lid has been holding up, I don't know how long the plastic edges can hold up under the amount of stress that is put on them. The plus side is that since it's so large, I can go a long time without filling it. But I like to check on the food every few days. I want to make sure the feed hasn't gotten moldy or infested with insects. As much as I love every other feature of this feeder, I'm not sure I would buy it again for this one reason.
