Local pickup in Orem and Midvale

All of the feeders have four 90° ports that chickens stick their heads in to eat. This greatly minimizes waste and spills. The four ports can be placed all on one side, or spaced evenly around the feeder. The feeders are also rainproof, and mouseproof. Feeders should be placed on a cinder block or an 8-10" base for full-grown chickens.

Q: How big is it and how much feed does it hold?

A: It is 14" diameter and 24" tall. It holds 90 lbs of chicken feed.

Q: How are they mouseproof?

A: The mice can't get a toe-hold on the smooth surface of the plastic, so they can't climb up. It is important that there is an overhang from the feeder to the base to prevent mice from getting in. In other words, the base should be smaller than the bottom of the feeder (an 8"x8" cinderblock works well). You do not need to cover this at night to prevent mice from getting in.

Q: How are they rainproof?

A: The hoods on each feeding port prevent rain from getting into the feeder, plus I run a bead of clear silicone between each feeding port and the feeder, so that water can't penetrate where they meet.

Q: How many chickens can use this feeder?

A: I recommend approximately four chickens per feeding port, but this is not a hard and fast rule. All chickens will eventually get their fill.

Q: Is there a waterer to match?

A: Yes! See my other listings.

Q: Can other birds use this feeder?

A: This feeder can be used for ducks, pheasants, turkeys, peafowl, etc...

Q: How do chickens learn to use this feeder?

A: When putting a feeder out for your chickens for the first time, put a little feed (or treats) on the edge of the ports and remove other feeders. You can also stick your hand into the port and pull some feed up a little big higher to make it easier. Soon they will be sticking their heads down into the ports to eat.

Q: Can I get additional feeding ports? Can I use fewer?

A: Yes. Eacher feeder comes with four ports, but it can hold a maximum of six feeding ports. Each additional port beyond the first four is $8. And I will reduce the cost by $8/each for fewer feeding ports.

Q: Can I have the feeding ports positioned so that I can stick the feeder against a wall or in the corner?

A: Yes. As a space-saver, I can put the ports on one side. This still leaves enough room so that multiple chickens can eat at the same time.

Q: At what age can chickens use this feeder?

A: I have had chicks as early as six weeks old use this feeder if it is placed on the ground. However, in order for it to be mouseproof, it needs to be on an 8-10" base with an overhang between the feeder and the base.

Q: Why use a cinderblock? Why not just put the ports up higher?

A: I can certainly do this for you if you prefer. However, a lot of feed will be left inside the feeder uneaten. I don't have a problem with these falling off the base because the feed provides plenty of weight.

Q: How do I order and pay?

A: Just text or call me (801-369-4931) and let me know what you'd like. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Venmo is preferred, but I can also take Paypal and credit card numbers over the phone. I can also take cash if you pick up in Orem. Because Revolutionary Chicken is a business, I do need to charge sales tax.

Q: Where can I get a cinderblock?

A: You can purchase an 8"x8" cinderblock at Home Depot or Lowes for less than $2. (Near the building materials).

Q: Can I use any type of chicken feed with this feeder?

A: Yes. Although the recommended feed for this type of feeder is crumbles or mash.

Buy with confidence! I have been selling these since 2019 and have sold over 500 feeders and have had great feedback.

Most recent feedback: I'm loving the feeder and waterer and so is my buddy. He's had chickens before and he can't believe how easy it is now. --Dusty
