Our Story
Hello there!
My name’s Ryan Biggin, and alongside my wife Kara, we’re the team behind Dine-A-Chook. And if you’re wondering what a “chook” is, that’s just how we say “chicken” in Australia!
Our journey began in 2009 much like yours might—with a simple decision to bring a few chickens into the backyard. Little did we know that these feathered friends would lead us to a new passion and a whole lot of learning.
When we first got our chickens, we experienced all the usual ups and downs: the kids adored them, but caring for them came with challenges we hadn’t anticipated. Wasted feed, messy coops, and an endless battle with pests—all while dealing with the harsh Australian sun that quickly took a toll on every feeder we tried. We were close to giving up on our little flock when my dad stepped in with an idea that would change everything.
With his engineering know-how and determination to help us keep the chickens, Dad set to work. Prototype after prototype, he tested and refined each version until he found a solution that finally solved the problem. His big idea? Design a feeder that brings the chicken to the feed rather than just giving the feed to the chicken. And it worked—no more waste, no more mess, and no more critters raiding the coop!
That’s how Dine-A-Chook was born. Today, we’re still family-run, and our feeders and drinkers are made with the same care and quality control as Dad’s very first prototype. Every product is built to withstand the elements, making backyard chicken-keeping simpler for everyone.

Happy Chicken Keeping!
