Verified Reviews for Chicken Feeders & Waterers

I got one of these with my new Eglu cube and it's no easier to get the food in than the last model. I carry food around in a large plastic jug and it's impossible to pour food into without spilling it. Granted, the food stays dry in there but that's no good if the food won't go into it! You have to unhook it, lay it on its back and then hook it back on. That's no fun in the rain and when you have four henhouses to replenish. I've bought four of the new drinkers instead.

I bought this for just two hens. One is happy to use it, the other doesn't like to, she seems fearful to put her head inside and therefore not be able to see around. It would be better less deep.

Too small and don’t think it’s a great product for what it stands for

Sorry no interest from my bensi

Pros: convenient, easy to hang on chicken cage, keeps food clean and dry. Cons: the container is too deep and the adult chickens (RIR, and BSL) can’t or will not get the food from the bottom of the feeder. I am using plastic containers in the bottom of the feeder to raise the food level. It is not the best solution but it keeps from wasting a lot of food.

I have one of these as well as the one that comes with the Eglu GoUp, and I only use the one that came with the GoUp any more. I have 5 hens, and if it has 1 1/2 days worth of food, they flick it out of the feeder and it goes on the ground. After a few days, it's a lot of wasted feed. Might be fine as long as you don't overfill, but even when I don't I still get flicked food.

I have bought a number of coops and have been delighted with their quality. The Feeder Drinker Stand was very disappointing at £21.00 purchase price, I expected a more robust item. Most definitely not worth the price paid.

This feeder attaches securely to the mesh wall and keeps the food dry. But after a few months of use I have identified a few problems: it's quite big and it's impossible to make sure the oldest food is consumed first as you just top it up on top of the oldest food; it is extremely difficult to clip and unclip to empty and clean (Omlet promised me a replacement one in case mine was faulty but this has failed to materialise); and finally, my girls now have damaged feathers on their chests because the edge of the feeder when they put their heads in and out is abrasive. I wondered what was causing it and have now worked it out.

unfortunately had to stop using it because chickens nocked off the grub feeder twice, luckily i was around and could go in and re hang it. sorry but wouldn't buy it again :(

Well, it looks like a good idea and they both used to peck at drops on the bottom of the glug but they simply won't drink from the nipples. We showed them how it worked, Suki seemed to work out how it worked but Daphne didn't. We added the old glug back in and they drank like they'd been in the desert. We tried this for a week and it was like some sort of CIA deprivation torture - each time we brought another water source in they drank and drink and drank. Daphne even tried to stretch to drink from the top! So now its almost at ground level and they do drink from the top. As far as our girls are concerned a big thumbs down.
