I would go with 5 gallons bucket. It' won't rust and much larger size. You can get free from many bakeries, groceries, etc..

You can also train your chickens. When you call they will run to you.

I purchased a Dorking rooster cheap recently and he doesn't like to mate.  My guess the fertilized rate for Dorking may be on the low side.

Have anyone done taste test between 6 months vs. 2yrs old with this breed?  And also fresh vs. frozen from freezer?

I would think you can modify so only allow the chicken to stick there neck into a hole that big enough for it to eat.  Of course, it's going to limit 3-5 holes total.

I would not bother with mash.  The chickens end up waste a lot of feed.
