The Revolutionary Chicken Blue Barrel Feeder is extremely sturdy and durable and holds a whopping 90 lbs. of feed. Great for large flocks or if you just want to go on vacation!
Chickens stick their heads into 90° ports to eat, so the feed stays in the feeder. Hoods and a rubber gasket on each feeder port keep the feed protected from rain, and the slick surface of the feeder prevents mice from climbing in.
Plan on about four chickens per feeding port, so the four port version can feed up to 16 chickens. The six port version can feed up to 24 chickens. If you have more chickens, don’t worry–they will eventually all get their fill. The ports are also designed with chickens’ comfort in mind. There are no corners or sharp edges that will irritate their necks as they eat. If you have small chickens (bantams, polish, or silkies), you can put a paver stone or two underneath a port so they can hop up and eat comfortably. Note that in the picture of the chickens eating from it, the small hen on the right is standing on a large brick.
Repurposed from local supplement companies, the blue barrels are made of HDPE plastic and are food-safe.
To assemble, push the feeding port inside the feeder until all four notches pop in (see video example). Notches on the ports lock them into place. It may help to wear work gloves.
Place the feeder on an 8″ base, like a cinder block (not included) for full-grown chickens. Chicks must be at least seven weeks old to use this feeder.
The barrels are made out of food-grade plastic and are used. They are repurposed from a company that makes plant-based supplements, such as green coffee extract or biotin (not harmful to chickens). We do clean them inside and out before we ship.
