Cocktails with chickens here: My husband was the chicken whisper. After he passed two years ago, I took over, with the help of my good neighbors, the care of "the girls." We had 6 backyard chickens but I lost 3 with the summer heat in Florida. I'm not real happy with the girls right now...

My husband used aluminum cans from the very start of raising chickens. I have a rat problem in the coop. Haven't been able to get any with traps. I never let food out overnight. I use one can to mix the feed and one to store the open bags. No rat issues with the cans.
