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. Will the Header Tank deteriorate in the sun?
A. You should never put a poultry drinker in direct sunlight. The main reason is that poultry prefer cool water and may become dehydrated if their water is too warm. Even in an Automatic Drinker, water exposed to sunlight will become warm, so you should position your Header Tank in the shade for this reason.
Q. How does the Header Tank work?
A. The horizontal ball valve refills the tank as the water drains, similar to a toilet cistern. The process is automatic.
Q. Can I connect to the mains or only use a hose?
A. You can connect to a tap, the mains or use a garden hose.
