RentACoop 1 Liter Chick Feeder and 1.5 Liter Chick Drinker Set with Two (2) Poultry Platform Adjustable Stands

I suddenly had to create a sick ward for a couple hens. Separating my coop into two sections was luckily doable with some effort, but I had to get portable water and feeder containers. These were a great size. They need to sit on top of a wood block or brick to help reduce hens pooping into it. And they can knock the feeder over once its less full. But its so handy to have portable stuff, especially when you need to drench the hens and provide meds daily in the water. Now I'm using them for my pullets and its working well. Needs daily cleaning for the water, but they only hold maybe 1 liter of water, and 2-3 cups of dry food. Could be found cheaper at Lemos...but if you want it delivered to your door...these work great.

Clearly a product designed and engineered by people who have chickens!! The 1.5L waterer with its tall front lip keep more bedding and debis out of the water, and very easy to clean out in place. The folding loop makes it nice to hang when you want. The 1L feeder is great for chicks up to pullet size and seems to do fine with mash, crumble and even pellets. The feed openings are large, but just the right size to keep the chickens feet out :) , so less mess. The injection molded plastic has no sharp edges like the stamped metal versions out there.I have tried several different designed feeders over the years, this duo tops the rest!! Cheers

Chick-size feeder and waterer are sturdy plastic and come with the bottoms and tops so you don't have to order separate. Easy to assemble and convenient. Keep the chicks from making as much of a mess as an open feeder. Chicks are not at all likely to drown in this size waterer. If you have micro-size breed chicks, place pebbles or marbles in the rim of the waterer to keep them from falling in, but this is not necessary for standard size chicken chicks. For some reason, the product looked larger in the ad but is a serviceable size for our group of 11 chicks in a brooder tank. I know everything has gone up in price after Covid, but they are cheaper at the farm store like TSC (if the farm store had only had the matching reservoir tops available). Would have rated higher if they had been a better price.

Ease of use is splendid for my chicks.

Got this set for our 12 chicks and it was great. Easy to fill and keep clean. The adjustable stands were perfect to keep up with the little nuggets as they grew. Stores easily so they’ll be ready for the next batch.

This set includes a feeder and a waterer. I'll review them separately.Feeder:Pros:Easy to fill and easy to assemble.Cons:I'm feeding the chicks Purina Start and Grow chick feed. The hole that should let additional food out of the storage container is too small for chick feed. It does not "auto feed". I developed the technique of rotating the feeder back and forth to get the feed to fill the tray from the storage container. That's ok, I guess, but not great. Multiple times per day, I had to do this to keep the feed tray full of chick feed.Waterer:Pros:The size of holes for the chicks to drink from is good.Cons:The "neck" on the water container is so large that when you upright the waterer after filling the container, most of it quickly dumps out . I would upright this very fast to try to minimize the water loss, but in the end, each "refill" only left about 10-15% of the water in the storage container. Perhaps, if the neck of the water container were smaller, like a hummingbird feeder, this would not be an issue.This set is "ok" for very small chicks, but it's really not great.

I have purchased many items from Rent-A-Coop and have never been disappointed in the quality, design and durability. I was a little unhappy that they have discontinued the wonderful little window decals of the company logo. I have one on all my vehicles and was looking forward to having one for a new pickup truck.Everywhere I go people ask me about the decal and I am able to share my delight with the company. I also get numerous questions about buying eggs, which is a bonus.Be careful of inferior brands, I have been burned.

This was one of the first things we bought when we bought our baby chickens. They are a perfect size for brand new chicks, very easy to clean and the perfect size for week old chicks. I still use the water container as a backup I also have other larger water containers as well but my chicks seem to still like this. When we purchased the set months back it was a great value and necessary item for starter checks.
