You can install a roller, Pulley what ever ya wanna call it, and hoist the feeder UP out of rodent jumping range, wheich is about 6 feet as what I hear.

But it is so much easier to just put the food away or feed them IN COOP in the first place.

I didn't really think that was an option, so many people have told me that feed and water should stay upside once they're grown to reduce mess in the coop, but I could just as easily leave the hanging feeder in the coop I guess. Won't that make them more likely to frequent the coop all day and make more poop mess instead of stay outside and free range? Thanks for answering all my ???s, I'm still super new to all this!

If you throw them out and don't respond, they will call you. I get them for my "farm" even though I only have a backyard flock, and for college grads. The college one is very long, and I quit my education related job 13 years ago, so I hate filling the darn thing out. They will call and hound you until it is done. I ended up doing them over the phone.

Q. Why did the chicken cross the road.
A. To show the opossum and armadillo it could be done.
