Feed inside coop or not??

[Gallo del Cielo]

I just like posting this cos I built it. It does solve my chook feeding problems as it stops the wild birds stealing the feed, and it is less messy.
Here is the link for info on how to build it https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/building-a-treadle-chicken-feeder

Whatever you decide to do there will likely be some problem, that's the way having chickens is. Then you'll have a look on Backyard Chickens cos someone else has probably already come up with a way of solving it.

That's a good looking feeder!

Couldn't have made it without your helpful info, Gallo.

It's a year since I built mine and I reckon I've saved what it cost me to build it by not feeding the wild birds. I've gotten a few more hens since then and one was a bit smaller so I had to tack on a bit more weight to the step so she could work it.
