For many backyard poultry keepers, the daily chore of keeping birds hydrated and fed can feel like an endless cycle of refilling containers and cleaning up spills. Traditional small water bowls often dry out quickly, leaving flocks thirsty, while basic feeders can lead to scattered feed, inviting unwanted pests and creating daily messes. Like many keepers, we’ve faced these challenges firsthand. 

Scouring for solutions, we discovered that a chicken gravity feeder combined with a high-quality waterer offers a powerful way to minimize mess, reduce waste, and simplify the daily routine. This combination lets you spend less time on chores and more time enjoying your flock.

We understand that water is the most vital nutrient to maintain flock health. Yet, many poultry owners underestimate the importance of reliable watering setups. Without constant clean water, a flock’s egg production and overall health can decline rapidly. That’s why the search for systems like the 5 gallon poultry waterer is growing fast—they marry convenience with reliability, making them a crucial tool for every keeper.

The Vision and Innovation of Erik Diedrichsen: Solving Real Problems

Innovation often springs from personal experience, and that’s true for Riverbend Resources. Founder Erik Diedrichsen encountered these exact frustrations raising his own poultry. His search for efficient, mess-free feeding and watering led him to develop a solution that is now trusted nationwide. By applying real-world insights into design, Erik crafted the poultry pro system. This includes the gravity feeder that ensures feed delivery matches your chickens’ appetite with virtually zero waste, alongside the 5 gallon poultry waterer that maintains consistent hydration without drips or overflow.

Erik's story resonates because it’s grounded in practical necessity and passion. His experience sparked the creation of products made right here in the USA, guaranteeing durability, quality, and support. This authentic approach differentiates Riverbend Resources in a market flooded with cheap, unreliable imports that often fail backyard keepers.

Why the Right Feeder and Waterer Make All the Difference

A holistic approach to poultry care means recognizing how feeding and watering systems complement each other. Our gravity feeder, with specially engineered chicken feeder ports, reduces feed spillage by allowing chickens to eat cleanly from inside closed bins or buckets—minimizing waste and contamination. This same focus on efficiency extends to our waterer design, crafted for easy filling, minimal cleanup, and durability.

The 5 gallon poultry waterer, a crucial part of this system, features antimicrobial materials and a gravity-fed mechanism to keep water fresh. It’s no surprise that positive chicken waterer reviews highlight its reliability and how it dramatically reduces daily labor.

Together, these products create a synergistic duo that optimizes both feeding and watering, essential to raising robust, productive chickens with minimal fuss.
