A feeder is not just for storing grain. Above all, it must prevent the grain from ending up on the ground, wet, soiled, or accessible to rats, mice, and birds.
The DIY kit follows the Cocobol logic: limit losses, better contain the grain, and let you choose the tank capacity with a DN100 PVC pipe.
Sorting and scratching scatter some of the feed on the ground. This grain often ends up trampled, soiled, dampened, or mixed with droppings, which degrades its quality.
Result: more waste and less clean feed for the poultry.
When grain is scattered on the ground, it creates several small access points around the chicken coop. Birds, mice, and rats quickly spot these easy-to-reach leftovers.
The less grain there is on the ground, the fewer things there are to attract them.
A classic feeder rarely protects the feed well. In case of rain or humidity, the grain can swell, stick, block the flow, or mold more quickly.
Then, you need to clean, empty, or move the feeder more often.
A good feeder does not replace pest control if an infestation is already established, but it does reduce what attracts pests on a daily basis.
DIY kit version
The kit contains the useful part of the feeder: the mouth, the lid, and the wall bracket. You simply add a DN100 PVC pipe to create a reserve adapted to your chicken coop.
The Cocobol logic: less waste, fewer seeds accessible to the ground, and a calibrated opening.
A standard DN100 PVC pipe, chosen according to the desired height and capacity.
The simulator will help you choose the length.
You invest in the useful part of Cocobol while using an easy-to-find tank.
The length of the tube allows you to adapt the feeder's capacity to your chicken coop. See the capacity calculator.
With your DN100 PVC pipe as a reservoir, the kit retains the essentials: cleaner, better contained distribution that is easier to adapt to your chicken coop.
The tube acts as a reservoir, while the Cocobol spout controls access to the feed to limit waste.
The narrow opening and compact bowl reduce the movements that throw seeds out of the feeder.
The cap better protects the entrance and helps keep the grain drier in bad weather.
The feeder attaches quickly, detaches easily, and fills from the top for simple daily use.
The kit uses the Cocobol distribution logic: less grain accessible on the ground, a calibrated opening, and a reservoir that you adapt with a DN100 PVC pipe.
Access is designed for chickens, with less room to scratch and throw feed.
The edges help contain the feed in the bowl and reduce losses to the ground.
The bowl provides access to the grain without creating a large open reserve where the hens can sort through it.
The food descends progressively: old seeds do not get stuck at the bottom.
Access remains designed for poultry, including roosters with more developed combs like our Blanco.
In case of a strong presence of pests, it completes the installation by closing access when the chickens are sleeping.
The result also depends on a good installation: suitable height, stable support and a night cap if pests are very present.
DIY assembly kit
You prepare the tank with a DN100 PVC pipe, then you install the Cocobol base at the appropriate height for the chickens.
Choose a DN100 PVC pipe suitable for the desired capacity.
For the length, see our capacity calculator.
Install the Cocobowl on a stable support, at a good height for the hens.
The tube becomes the reservoir: you simply fill from the top according to your setup.
The Cocobol kit is designed and manufactured in small batches in Puy-de-Dôme. We keep control over the parts, improvements, and customer support, to offer a durable, repairable, and coherent solution for actual use in the chicken coop.
Short answers about actual use, installation, and limitations to be aware of.
The kit helps limit the attraction of pests by reducing the amount of accessible seeds on the ground. If there is a high presence of rats, the installation must also be properly set up, closed with the night cap, and the chicken coop's surroundings treated.
The kit is designed for a standard DN100 PVC pipe. The pipe acts as a reservoir and is not supplied with the kit.
Yes, access is still designed for poultry, including roosters with larger combs.
The cap protects the entrance and helps keep the grain drier. As with any outdoor installation, orientation and wind exposure also matter.
The feeder is suitable for dry and fluid foods. Very irregular mixtures should be tested, as they may flow less easily.
The lower part can be removed for emptying and cleaning. Regular checks prevent the accumulation of grain dust.
It allows you to cut off access to food when the chickens are sleeping, especially if pests are common around the coop.
