Welcome to

Feather & Fur

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I am a passionate individual who loves the outdoors and creating and trying new things.


I am also a huge animal lover and enjoy raising hyline chickens as a hobby. They are looked after & raised to the highest standard & care by myself. They are very quiet & tame as they are handled daily. They are also egg laying machines!

About Me & My Small Business

Hello, my name is Rochelle. I was born and bred in Dargaville, Northland, New Zealand and have a huge passion for animals and the outdoors.

I enjoy the west coast beach, hunting wild game with my bow, 4X4 driving and horseback riding.

I first started raising hyline chickens in October 2021 and haven't looked back since. I love working with my customers and meeting new people though my small hobby business.

I'm always keen to try new things and hear tips and tricks from other people!

Chicken/Bird Feeder Ports

DIY Chicken/Poultry Feeder Set, Rain Proof, Gravity Feed Kit for Buckets & ​Containers.

Installation Steps: (also see auction pictures)

1.Cut holes with hole saw.

2.Screw in feeder port.

3.Tighten the feeder ports.

Suitable for most containers.

Material: PP+ Silicone, Colour: Red & white, Size: See Picture Details

REDUCE WASTE & KEEP AREA CLEAN - These DIY chicken feeder ports are ​designed with a concave arc shape for automatic gravity which results in ​continuous & stable feeding. Thus minimizing feed spillage & mess. No more ​wasted food on the ground with this snazzy design!

RAINPROOF AND DURABLE - This weatherproof feeder can be outside! Made of ​sturdy & durable PP material, thick & not easily damaged by rodents. The ​chicken ports have a covered rainproof design with a connecting seal for a ​snug fit against the container. This prevents rain from wetting the feed & ​keeps the food fresh & dry. Makes the coop cleaner & more comfortable with ​less mess.

VERSATILE AND EASY TO INSTALL - The feeder ports are suitable for plastic ​containers such as buckets, boxes, bins & troughs. You will need to prepare a ​drill, hole saw, & a container. The larger the container, the less often you have ​to fill it up with feed.

ACCOMODATES LARGER FLOCKS - I would suggest have 1 feed port per approx ​2-3 hens. This feeder port design gives them easy access to all their feed ​(narrower & longer or taller containers work best). I have found that building ​a little platform to sit the container/bucket on works great.

$3.50 per port + shipping


I use these for my own chickens & they work great!

The water cups automatically refill themselves, ​ensuring your feathered friends always have access to ​clean water.

They are super easy to install. You just need to drill a ​correct sized holes in a plastic bucket or container to ​connect the bucket & cups. The cups pipe with a screw ​& wing nut system (See picture for detailed ​instructions)

Note: Please prepare the bucket yourself. Also do not ​make the bucket/container airtight. If you are putting ​a lid on, just drill a small hole in the top for airflow.


These automatic filling waterers are made from a ​high-quality PVC material, which is strong & durable. ​The poultry water cups are large, smooth, & hassle ​free. They are simple to disassemble, easy to clean, & ​not easy blocked by dirt & pieces of grass etc.

Material: Plastic

Color: Red

Drinking bowl size: 6cm x 4cm - See measurements on ​pictures.

I would recommend around 2-3 hens per cup.



Automatic Chicken/Bird Water Drinking Cups

Plastic Identification Leg Bands

Super easy to use and stay on the legs great. Tried and tested by myself on my chickens.


Chickens need to be around 7-8 weeks old before putting these on otherwise their legs may be too small for the band.

Great for identifying different ages in your flock etc.

They are a nice light plastic, and the hens don't even notice them. Please measure some of your birds legs before purchasing so you know they will fit.


There are 5 colours available: PURPLE, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE

1.6cm wide (see picture for measurements)


Please let me know how many you are wanting. I can do a bulk price for larger qty orders.

SHIPPING/COLLECTION:

I am able to ship older chickens/roosters on the pet bus (at your expense). Please contact me for pricing and I can recommend the best company and shipping rates.

Pickup from me personally in Dargaville is absolutely recommended. I am located approx 3 minutes from the Dargaville town center so nice and close to town. No driving down dusty gravel back roads and getting lost!

You can then see where the chickens are raised and cared for and meet me (and my animal family if you wish). Delivery to a collection point in Whangarei for $5 a box (approx 5 birds to a box) can be arranged Monday - Friday.


Day old chicks are pickup from me in Dargaville only due to how fragile they are and the fact that they need to be kept warm. I recommend bring a hot water bottle for me to fill with hot water for their journey home with you.

These must be collected within 1 day of hatching. I would recommend pre ordering these cuties to ensure you don't miss out as numbers are limited in each batch I raise and I can sometimes be booked out a month or two in advance.
