FAQs
Can this feeder hold water?
Yes, it can be used for water, though its small capacity makes it better suited for supplements or small amounts of grit.
Is the plastic BPA-free?
The Eton D-Cup is manufactured from high-quality, food-grade safe plastics suitable for poultry use.
How do I mount this on a wooden wall?
The feeder is intended for wire mesh. To use on wood, you must install two small hooks or screws and hang the wire clips onto them.
Can I put this in a dishwasher?
While the plastic is durable, hand-washing with warm soapy water is recommended to maintain the longevity of the wire hooks.
What is the total capacity?
The cup has a 300ml capacity, ideal for supplements or small treats.
Troubleshooting
The feeder constantly swings or tilts.
Ensure both wire hooks are securely engaged over a horizontal bar of the wire mesh to stabilize the unit.
The cup is difficult to snap onto the wire.
Check if the wire gauge of your coop mesh is too thick; the hooks are designed for standard-gauge poultry fencing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Heavy-duty wire hooks for secure attachment
- High-quality plastic construction resists cracking
- Compact size saves valuable floor space
- Multi-purpose usage for grit, treats, or meds
Cons
- Small 300ml capacity is unsuitable for main feed intake
- Only compatible with wire-style fencing
- Requires frequent refilling for larger groups
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the feeder, simply align the rear wire hooks with the spacing of your coop’s wire mesh and press firmly to lock it into place. Ensure the feeder is positioned at a height reachable by your flock but high enough to prevent debris from being scratched into the contents.
Compatibility: This feeder is designed specifically for wire-mesh coops or cages. It will not attach to solid wooden walls unless small hooks or nails are installed first.
Care: Clean the cup regularly with warm, soapy water to prevent the buildup of bacteria or mold. Because the plastic is high-quality, it can be easily scrubbed and sanitized without compromising the structural integrity of the unit.
