The Dine a Chook Difference
We had chickens long before we started Dine a Chook, and we still do! We understand the problems that backyard chicken keepers face and our goal is to provide solutions.
That is why Dine a Chook Chicken Feeders and Drinkers stand out from the competition: Our products have been extensively tested in Australian backyards, including our own! Our patented innovations and unique design features really work to make backyard chicken keeping easier.
We know how important good coop management is. A clean, dry coop, and uncontaminated feed and water, are essential for poultry health. Our Feeders reduce waste, keeping feed dry and off the floor. And our Waterers keep water clean and prevent spillage.
Dine a Chook Feeders and Drinkers are made in Australia, supporting Aussie jobs. And we use genuine Lubing Drinker Outlets from Germany because they are the best for poultry. Our products are built to last and come with an exclusive guarantee. Tested in the harsh Australian climate, don’t run over them with a tractor and we bet you won’t need to buy another Feeder or Drinker again!
As a family business, the most important thing to us is our customers. Need help with an order? Want chicken keeping advice? If you have a question about your flock, give us a call on 1800 103 326 during Queensland business hours.

FAQ
>Q. Does the sun damage the Drum?
A. The Drum is UV treated. However, chickens prefer cool water and can become dehydrated if their drinking water becomes too warm. For this reason, Chicken Drinkers should always be placed in a shady spot.
Q. How do I stop algae growing inside?
A. The design of the Drum helps prevent UV light getting to the water and helps prevent algae.
Q. What sort of outlet can I use with this Drum?
A. We recommend genuine Lubing brand outlets for all Chicken Drinkers - they are the most hygienic and reliable option. We stock Lubing Drinker Cups and Nipples, complete with Dine a Chook outlets that fit this Drum perfectly, for the easiest DIY Drinker System.
Q. How many chickens will this provide water for?
A. On average, chickens drink about 500 ml of water per day, so this Drum will provide water for approximately 10 hens for 4 days. But water consumption varies depending on breed, diet and weather, so you should always monitor water levels in the Drum carefully.
