NEW twin version for ducks!
Become one of the
thousands
of Australians who have flocked to Royal Rooster’s drinker and feeder sets!
As seen in Gardening Australia, Organic Gardener, Good Organic Gardening, G Magazine, Earth Garden and Grass Roots.
We have had many ducks owners wanting to use our very popular drinker and feeder sets for ducks instead of chickens - so with some slight product changes, we're excited to be able to offer these now for ducks!
Your package will include:
1 x Feeder
- holds 3kg of feed, approx 50cm tall, with specially designed divisions to reduce feed wastage. The duck feeder has just one divider up the centre (compared with 3 in our feeder for chickens) to allow for ducks wider beaks.
1 x Feeder Rain Cover
– included at no extra charge! The rain cover will keep your feed nice and dry in wet weather, giving you the flexibility of positioning your feeder inside or outside your coop.
1 x Drinker with Twin Cups
- holds 4 litres of water, approx 50cm tall, with the
important NEW style
'blue tongue' drinker cups which allows for the extra dust and dirt associated with backyard poultry. We've found this 4 litre capacity drinker to be ideal and works very well with the 'Lubing' brand drinker cups.
2 x Lids
- these are
ergonomically designed
and made for these sets; very easy to remove.
4 x Rear Hooks
- specially designed rear hooks (shaped to fit the feeder) so you can easy and regularly
unhook your sets
from their normal location (mesh, solid wall etc) for cleaning and refilling. Great feature!
4 x Solid Wall Brackets
– included at no extra charge! For those who plan to attach their set to a
solid wall
rather than mesh, 4 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 drinkers and feeders 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 DRINKER
- You can rest easy knowing your ducks will have a regular supply of
clean water
without issues of evaporation, algae growth, spilled or dirtied water or sun-perished containers. Two 'blue tounge' style drinker cups are included - made for backyard poultry keeping.
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 set and take directly to your feed bin or tap for refilling and cleaning. Most of our customers hook these sets onto the mesh of their coop (as shown in the previous pictures) but if you plan to position these on a solid wall, 4 brackets will be included free of charge for the drinkers & 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 feeder rain cover allows you to 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.
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.
Keep your water clean
– Chicken owners have better things to do than clean out a dirty drinker every day! Our drinkers provide a regular supply of clean water without the hassles of dirty water. These drinker cups do not require any training by your ducks and are wide enough for their beaks. They'll take to the drinker straight away.
Valve operated drinker cup
– We use German-made, valve-operated 'Lubing' cups on our drinkers (used by poultry experts). When the water level goes down in the cup the valve automatically activates to allow more water to replenish the red drinker cup. Our drinkers hold 4 litres of water, which we have found to be the ideal amount of water for one drinker cup.
**NEW STYLE DRINKER CUP**
:
The company 'Lubing' manufacture these cups for large poultry houses and therefore do not account for the dust and dirt that backyard chickens can flick into the drinker cups. As such, Royal Rooster who are dedicated to being innovators in this field, has manufactured a specially designed 'blue tongue' float that replaces the yellow float seen on all other Lubing cups. This is made from the same material, but has a slightly different shape to the rear part of the float, to allow a greater amount of water to enter and remain in the cup, without the dust and dirt affecting the valve mechanism. In the ‘early years’ we had lots of customers complain that their drinker cup wasn’t working and their birds were thirsty… but with the blue tongue in place, we have very happy customers and consistently hydrated animals!
Royal Rooster are the ONLY seller of these cups with the blue tongue float. No rusty screws, no 'professional modification' necessary.
UV Resistant -
These UV resistant sets will not heat up like metal containers or degrade easily like other plastic ones on the market. Unlike transparent drinkers, our drinker does not allow light through meaning that algae will not form. You can look forward to less cleaning, cleaner water and a much more durable product.
Alternatives
If you would like a single or double feeder or a single or double drinker rather than a standard set (i.e. one feeder and one drinker), please have a look at our ‘other items’ for these combinations. Different versions for ducks and chickens available.
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.
