BYOB CluckKit™: Bring Your Own Buckets

Let's be honest. If you've got chickens, you've probably got a stack of five-gallon buckets hiding in the garage, the barn, or the back of the truck. Nobody remembers where they all came from, but somehow they multiply right alongside the flock.

Instead of buying another expensive feeder, waterer, or nesting box, put those buckets to work. The BYOB CluckKit™: Bring Your Own Buckets turns three ordinary buckets into a low-waste feeder, a leak-resistant waterer, and a cozy nesting box using quality components designed for everyday chicken keeping.

It's budget-friendly, easy to customize, and easy to expand when your flock inevitably grows because somehow six chickens always turn into twelve.

What's Included

• 2 Poultry Pro Feeder Ports help keep feed dry while reducing waste from enthusiastic beak-flinging.
• 1 Poultry Pro Waterer Port provides clean, leak-resistant hydration without the soggy bedding.
• 1 Happy Hen Nesting Bucket Kit turns a standard bucket into a cozy nesting space hens actually want to use.
• Buckets not included. You'll need three standard 5-gallon buckets with lids to complete your setup.

How to Use

1. Gather three standard 5-gallon buckets with lids. Food-grade buckets are recommended for feed and water.
2. Measure and drill the appropriate holes following the included instructions for each port.
3. Install the feeder ports and waterer port according to the manufacturer's directions.
4. Add nesting material to the nesting bucket and position it with a slight upward tilt to help keep eggs from rolling out.
5. Fill the buckets, snap the lids in place, and adjust the height so your chickens can comfortably reach the feeder and waterer.
6. Clean the ports regularly, refresh nesting material as needed, and enjoy spending less time dealing with wasted feed and messy water.
