- 1 x Lid - these are ergonomically designed and made for these feeders; very easy to remove
- 2 x Rear Hooks - specially designed rear hooks so you can easy and regularly unhook your feeder from its normal location (mesh, solid wall etc) for cleaning and refilling. Great feature!
- 2 x Solid Wall Brackets – included at no extra charge! For those who plan to attach their set to a solid wall rather than mesh, 2 specially designed aluminum brackets are included with your order free of charge.
- You can also look forward to super-fast postage, excellent ongoing customer service and very happy ducks!
These feeders (as well as the drinkers we also sell) overcome many of the common problems associated with the metal or plastic feeders that you regularly see in pet or fodder stores, as well as those listed on Ebay.
As owners of Royal Rooster (one of Australia's most popular chicken coop manufacturers) we regularly had customers asking us how to prevent a range of problems they were experiencing with their traditional style drinkers and feeders (and to be honest, we had the same problems with our chickens).... So we decided to design and manufacture our own! We are overwhelmed with the response we’ve received about our humble Aussie invention - which is now also available for ducks!
THE FEEDER - You can look forward to saving many dollars by using these feeders as they discourage birds from scratching their grain or pellets onto the ground to be wasted. Plus, the wild birds and possums find it very difficult to steal your feed (see customer feedback about this, below).
So many features...
Hook these anywhere - Place inside or outside your coop, on mesh or on a solid structure. The rear hooks and specially designed removable lids make cleaning and refilling just so easy! You can conveniently unhook your feeder and take directly to your feed bin for refilling and cleaning. Most of our customers hook these feeders onto the mesh of their coop (as shown in the previous pictures) but if you plan to position these on a solid wall, 2 brackets will be included free of charge for the feeder to attach to (see below).
Save feed going to wild birds & possums - Our customers have found an additional benefit - sparrows and possums find it very hard to steal the feed! Even more money saved by NOT feeling the local wildlife as well as your ducks.
Keep your feed dry – The rain cover means you can place your feeder out in the open without having to deal with wet and wasted feed.These covers are professionally designed and manufactured by Royal Rooster specially for this purpose (no silicon required).
Easy to remove lids - We have specially designed these lids ourselves making them very easy to remove. The lids feature a lip around the top edge, which you curl your fingers over when you lift to remove. In the 'early days' we used basic PVC end caps but these are made to fit PVC pipe 'snugly' and are therefore difficult to remove. These lids are super easy to put on and off.
UV Resistant - These UV resistant feeders will not heat up like metal containers or degrade easily like other plastic ones on the market.

Feedback
Hi Kerry and Brad - Thanks so much for the feed and waterer set. I have been trailing the waterer to see if it's suitable for ducks because of the way they have to immerse their bills in the water to drink. It's working fantastically, they are able to get their bills into the drinker cup without any problems and the blue tongue float doesn't cause and problems, in fact I think it prevents them getting as much mud and dirt caught in the cup as they were getting in their old water feeders.
As anyone with ducks will know they love mud and are able to get it everywhere, that is one of the major problems I was having in finding something that would not get clogged with mud and dirt and prevent them from being able to drink. The little bit of mud that does get into the cup is easily washed out when in refill the waterer by pouring a bit of water straight into the cup. They have been able to get mud all over the outside of the waterer but the water inside is still nice and clean.
My ducks also have access to pond water through the day as well as the waterer but I find that they are going back to the waterer to drink during the day. At night they are locked away and only have the waterer for accessing water. The design of the water and feed set makes it very easy to move them from inside to outside of their duck house when I am letting them in or out. The feeder is also saving me food as all the local birds are not coming in to eat it now. I couldn't be happier with the set it is easy and hassle free to use and I'm not worried about whether the ducks have spilt their water and feed over a night. I would be happy to recommend your product and please pass my email address onto anyone that would like to know more as I would be only too happy to answer their questions regarding how the ducks use the product.
