They won't eat at night since they can't see nor will they come off the roost unless there is a light.
Thxs, I didn't know they have terrible vision at night. They do have a dim night light inside the coop. I will be removing the feeder at night from now on. Don't need rodents coming around. Yuck lolChickens don't really eat at night. They have terrible night vision so they don't do much other than sleep. Food left out at night will only attract unwanted pests.
They really don't need the night light either. It probably isn't a problem but a completely dark period is good for them and their psyche. If there is enough light, they may come down off the roost in the middle of the night.Thxs, I didn't know they have terrible vision at night. They do have a dim night light inside the coop.

I love the homemade bucket trap. You can catch multiple mice in a single night.I agree! I used to leave feed out at night, but as mentioned above it attracts unwanted rodents. I have a mice issue right now. I put my feed away in a metal bin every night. I do the same with the water feeders. I'm trying different methods catching these nasty little critters.
