    Rats know how to use grandpa feeder now what

    Unfortunately my chicken coop is located in a run so rat avoidance inside is unavoidable. I just hate them eating the food.

    Rats know how to use grandpa feeder now what

    I recently put my grandpa feeder back with the chickens because the rats are too smart. I have used any trick and trap for them and the rats are out day and night. And about an hour ago I looked at my chicken coop and 2 rats jump on the treadle while the 3rd take the food.

    Grandpa’s Feeder help

    I used a weight on mine also but unfortunately the other day when I put the video on at night I noticed the rats knew how to open the feeder. The weight made it light enough for the rats to open! I had to take the weight off. My 3 of my 5 chickens do not use or like the feeder. I don't know what...

I haven't gotten an egg in like 5 days! Ever since Cluck Cluck decided to be broody. She will be going to broody jail in a...

    treadle feeder question

    If I did this at training level I would have to stay there and shoo the rats away. They come morning and night. I have a camera so I see them everywhere. They don't even care when I'm there. They think its feeding time for them too.

    treadle feeder question

    yea thats why I cannot do this. I have a camera on this so I can see if anyone is learning this, and the rats are having a ball hanging on the treadle. they know the food is in there yet they cannot get it. The birds are so used to seeing them its like family. Yuk.

    Grandpa Feeder question

    Ok let’s maybe refrain the question since I got no answers🧐. Anyone ever have chickens that do not understand how the feeder works even after weeks of training? By the way I am now on week 3 and my Ayam Cemanis don’t look like they understand.
