Bought just one to make sure this wasn't a gimick. The money spent on waterers over the years has been insane! This waterer attached to a lowes bucket has worked amazingly well! What I didn't expect was how much cleaner the water stays, even when placed on hemp bedding. So now I'm back to buy more. They're easy to set up and use. So far, I've had no green slime growing inside the bucket, plus it's 100x faster and easier to clean than those octogon units with the red bottom.**Edit** Jan 17, 2025 We just went through 2 winter storms w/temps in the single digets. Took the risk of using a heater underneath, and it paid off. No issues with warping or melting at all. The water in the "lip" was just warm enough to make them want to drink more. Back to buy a few more! Can't recommend this enough!

Put this on top of a heater and it's 5deg at night with no freezing water. Works great.

I have these installed on 5 gallon buckets sitting outdoors where we get excessive rain and have yet to have feed get wet. Nor have I had any issues with birds pulling feed out and wasting it. Properly installed these things work!

I got this so my small brood of hens can feed mostly independently if I’m away for the day or overnight. It came with a hole saw that you attach to a drill which is very handy. The ports are a nice quality. I attached three pieces at the recommended height, around a 5-gallon bucket and added a screw-on lid. I raised the entire set up about 3 inches off the ground with a cross section of log that fits under the bucket. The hens knew what to do pretty quickly. Great product but, the wild birds can self feed, too. I’m going to try a treadle feeder next.

These feeder ports are great, and allow you to make feeders which are infinitely better than the off-the-shelf options currently available. Commercial feeders are overpriced, undersized, and poorly designed.Building your own feeder is a much smarter and more cost-effective option. You need a hand drill, a suitable container, and about 10 minutes to spare. You can use a cheap and easy 5 gallon bucket with a lid, or if you have a larger flock, a trash can. I used a 32 gallon can, and it holds 2x 50lb bags of feed.Oriented properly, these ports keep rain, dirt, and poop out, and greatly reduce feed spillage and waste. Feeders can be indoors or out. In the case of an indoor feeder where space or access is limited, an outdoor hopper can easily be added, so that the feeder will self-fill through gravity, and the hopper becomes easy to reach and fill.One note: the 3" diameter hole saw that is included, is a bit shallow (about 1/2" cutting depth), and the teeth are coarse. This can make drilling into smaller containers, such as 4" PVC pipe, a bit tricky. The hole saw can usually be rocked side to side to handle this, but for tightly curved surfaces, a deeper hole saw may be needed. Drilling through metal, like a galvanized steel trash can, could be tricky with the coarse teeth. These are fine for wood and plastic, but seem like they could snag on sheet metal. A hole saw designed for sheet metal, or a carbide grit version, may be helpful here.

With two coops and 30 ish chickens I was having problems keeping them in feed. I had 2 hanging feeders and I knew I was getting mice in them from time to time but I wasn't prepared for how MANY mice I was actually feeding. I started filling them, 2.5 pounds per day and as there was a lot of scatter on the ground I thought it was just randy roos in the wintertime knocking the feeders around chaising the ladies. So I bought and built ONE of these and put it in my run with the most losses. That run stopped going empty. Worried that with only three feeding holes I wasn't feeding enough chickens I put a second one in and things were great. I put blocks underneath which I take is to keep feeders from falling and crushing birds. Food was all over the floor again. It was mice. I was using half blocks underneath the suspended buckets and the stinking little fellas would run up on the block, get the feeder swining and jump into the holes and then just start digging the food out like a chipper/shredder. Removed the blocks and the wastage was gone again. I'll have to provide some other obstacle for chicken safety HOWEVER I also found out in the last year that a certain big box store with Blue buckets are better, thicker buckets with a more substantial handle. It's pretty clear when you're taking the handle off to run chain links on it to suspend it. Gotta know the tricks to getting it out when the Orange or other sellers of buckets just flex and come out. Plus, those other buckets are NOT UV resistant. Leave them out in the summer and your Orange, Red, Pink, light blue buckets will fade to white and become quite brittle in half a summer. The Dark Blue buckets don't seem to mind and my feed/water buckets are inside runs out of direct sunlight. So, three buckets converted with Poultry Pro feeder packages and my wastage has dis-appeared. My chickens are well fed and thanks to several bucket traps, my mouse population is 128 captured less in two runs (only 30 in the smaller run). You're always going to have mice if you have chickens BUT you don't have to give them an all you can eat buffet. Now I top off the food buckets up once a week.

Our chicken run was overrun with rats. I tried a variety of feeders but none proved to be rat resistant - until this one. I installed the plastic feeders in a big plastic bucket and hung it from a tripod so that the chickens have to stretch slightly to get at the feed. We haven't seen a rat in the chicken run for over two months. They just can't get at the feed and seem to have moved on.

Very easy to install. Very pleased with the product food stays clean far less wastage of chicken feed on the ground. everything seems to stay inside the container highly recommended and will purchase again.

I ordered this because in the main advertising photo it showed a whole feeder not just the attachments. I was very disappointed to learn I had paid more for these than some other advertisements based on the fact I thought it was a whole product. The advert is very misleading! Be aware all you get is three attachments not the whole product!

The items were assembled in a manner that caused the screws to be threaded, which made them impossible to undo. Product returned.
