No Waste Chicken Feeder for Everyday Flock Care
Help keep more feed in the feeder and less on the coop floor with the VFeedr. This compact, wall-mounted no waste chicken feeder holds up to approximately 5 lb of dry poultry feed, with actual capacity varying by the type and density of feed used. Its raised design also keeps the feeder out of busy floor space.
The VFeedr is designed for adult poultry and everyday backyard-flock use. Its simple gravity-fed layout provides access to feed without an open pan that birds can step into or scratch through.
How the V-Shaped Feeding Opening Works
Chickens often flick feed from an open trough while searching for preferred pieces. The VFeedr uses a narrow V-shaped entrance positioned at the bird’s neck. As a chicken reaches in to eat, its neck occupies part of the opening, helping limit the space available for feed to be raked or tossed outward.
This design helps reduce spills; it does not guarantee that every bird or feed texture will produce zero waste. Correct mounting height and a freely flowing dry feed are important to performance.
What Is Included
- VFeedr feeder body and lid
- Removable internal divider
- Wall-mount bracket
The divider helps regulate access to the feed area as feed moves downward. It can also be removed temporarily while birds learn to use the feeder.
Mounting and Placement
Fasten the supplied bracket to a secure vertical surface and hang the feeder so the lower portion of the V-shaped entrance is approximately at the birds’ neck height. Check that the feeder is stable before filling it. Because flock members can differ in size, observe them eating and adjust the mounting position if they cannot reach comfortably or can easily flick feed out.
The feeder can be used indoors or in a sheltered outdoor location. It is not weather-sealed. Keep the opening beneath cover or face it away from wind-driven rain so moisture does not enter and spoil the feed. For broader moisture and pest precautions, review our guide to storing chicken feed safely.
Filling, Acclimation and Daily Use
Fill the feeder from the top with suitable dry poultry feed, replace the lid, and confirm that feed moves into the lower feeding area. Choose a ration appropriate for the flock’s age and purpose using our chicken feeding guide. Do not use the feeder for wet or fermented feed. Check the feed routinely for moisture, clumping, mold, insects, or other contamination.
Some birds need a few days to recognize a new feeding system. If they hesitate to use it, temporarily remove the internal divider so the feed is easier to see and reach. Once the flock is feeding confidently, reinstall the divider for normal operation.
Cleaning and Product Details
Empty old feed before cleaning. Remove the feeder from its bracket, separate the removable components, and wash away feed dust and residue. Rinse thoroughly and allow every part to dry completely before refilling. Inspect the bracket, lid, divider, and plastic body regularly, and stop using the feeder if any part is damaged or unstable.

No Waste Chicken Feeder: Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VFeedr help reduce feed waste?
The feeder uses a narrow V-shaped opening positioned at a chicken’s neck height. As a bird reaches in, its neck occupies part of the opening, helping limit the space available for feed to be flicked or raked outward. Results can vary with mounting height, bird behavior, and feed texture.
How much feed does the VFeedr hold?
It holds up to approximately 5 lb of dry poultry feed. Actual capacity varies with the size, shape, and density of the feed.
How high should I mount this chicken feeder?
Mount it so the lower portion of the V-shaped entrance is approximately at your birds’ neck height. Observe the flock while it eats and adjust the height if birds cannot reach comfortably or can easily flick feed from the opening.
Can the VFeedr be used outdoors?
Yes, but use it in a sheltered location. The feeder is not weather-sealed, so keep the opening under cover or face it away from wind-driven rain to help prevent wet or spoiled feed.
What type of feed can I put in the VFeedr?
Use suitable dry poultry feed that moves freely through the feeder. Do not use it for wet or fermented feed, and check the contents routinely for moisture, clumping, mold, insects, or other contamination.
What is the removable divider used for?
The divider helps regulate access to the lower feeding area. If birds hesitate to use the new feeder, remove it temporarily so the feed is easier to see and reach, then reinstall it after the flock is feeding confidently.
How should I clean the VFeedr?
Empty old feed, lift the feeder from its bracket, and separate the removable components. Wash away feed dust and residue, rinse thoroughly, and let every part dry completely before reassembly and refilling.
