RentACoop Chicken Treat Dispenser (Small)

This clever invention from Rent A Coop has been a great addition to our quail coop (see photos). 5 stars, quail approved. It keeps them entertained as they can self-dispense their BSFL treats throughout the day after I hand feed as much as they want to eat in the AM. For our 16 full grown quail, this will last on average one day, so I fill it 1-2x/day, depending on how hungry they are, but YMMV. I’ll be ordering another one for the other coop as our covey grows. Super easy to mount to the wooden frame of the coops with two stainless screws. I really appreciate how sturdy this was designed and made. As far as filling, I keep their treats in a large Rubberm*de cereal storage container, pop the whole lid off, and scoop the dispenser tubes through the treats until full. Super quick and easy. I also highly recommend the Rent a Coop horizontal water nipples, what a game changer for keeping the birds healthy and hydrated with almost no fuss or maintenance! Thank you Rent a Coop!

Easy to mount. Chickens had no problem figuring how to use. Wish they held a bit more so the fun would last longer than 10 minutes, but then again they are meant for treats so it shouldn’t be a constant flow.

love!!!

My chickens love their RentACoop treat dispenser! I usually put dried meal worms in there and they go crazy for it every time. Such a great way to entertain them in their coop as well. Recommended for all chicken keepers :)

My chickens love to get treats in this toy. There are two different dispensing options. One cap has a single larger opening which works well with larger dried mealworms. The other cap has 3 smaller holes in it which work great for dispensing black soldier fly larva. When I installed it, I envisioned the chickens pecking it so it would swing and treats would sprinkle out, but they seem so prefer pecking underneath at the openings. Sometimes a few treats fall out and sometimes the tubes get a little swing and a few pieces come out. I raised the toy a little from the height I originally had placed it so they could use it the way they prefer. To get it ready, I have found it is easiest to slide the treat tube on the metal bar with the treat opening up, and then gently rotate the tube down. That limits the treats that come out while setting it up. My only wish was that the little endcap that screws on had an opening on only one side so it wouldn't screw past the end of the cap.
