Riverbend Resources, run by West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, inventor Erik Diedrichsen, makes the Poultry Pro Feeder, a kit that turns plastic containers into no-mess chicken feeders, along with a matching waterer. On the March 14, 2025 episode, most sharks passed, but chicken owner Daymond John invested $300,000 for 20%. Diedrichsen told WBZ NewsRadio that sales jumped after the broadcast and that the business was evolving from a single feeder into a broader poultry products company.
