Essilnn DIY Chicken Feeder and Waterer — 6-Port No-Waste Poultry Kit for Buckets & Barrels

Turn any container into a smart poultry feeder and waterer

Essilnn presents a versatile DIY system that transforms common buckets, barrels, boxes, or bins into a gravity fed chicken feeder with built in hydration. Designed for easy setup and tidy coops, this kit helps you manage feed and water with a practical, hands off approach.

What makes it work

With six feeder ports and six water cups, the setup works alongside your existing containers to deliver steady access without constant refilling. A rain hood and waterproof gasket help keep feed dry, while the gravity fed design supports a consistent flow as your birds move about the coop.

• Potentially reduces feed waste by about 5 to 30 percent thanks to controlled flow and a snug seal.
• Dry feed is maintained by a rain hood and gasket, helping to reduce moisture exposure and clumping.
• Six feeding ports and six water cups provide a scalable solution for small to mid sized flocks.
• 3.8 inch cup openings allow hens to drink and peck with ease, promoting natural feeding behavior.
• 1/8 inch NPT thread compatibility opens the door to simple, DIY water line setups for various containers.

Practical setups for your coop

Whether you are working with a bucket, barrel, box, or bin, this kit adapts to your space. The included drill bit helps you install the drinking cups and ports quickly, so you can move from plan to setup in minutes rather than hours.

Real life use cases include year round outdoor coops, mixed poultry operations, and seasonal runs where keeping feed dry and water available matters. The system is designed to be user friendly and adaptable, so you can configure it to suit your flock’s routine while keeping the coop neat and accessible.

• 6 feeder ports with stoppers to control feeding as needed
