One of our girls likes to sit on the feeder that is hanging from the roof of the coop. I'm worried about her pooping in the food, what should we d

Could you make some kind of a cardboard cone to put on top of it?

try to hang it so the feeder is directly under the overhang without keeping any distance between feeder and where it's being hung from. You may have to make a small table and hang from under it. Guaranteed, if they can get on top of it, they will!
