No you can use it but you would make some adjustments for their size and weight. I believe the minimum weight for the kind I have is two pounds, so really small bantams under that wouldn’t be able to use it. You can also put or add on a wider step so they can get closer, for instance there’s a wide duck step available, and others have added a strip of wood. Both of these changes make it somewhat less rat-proof because treadle feeders work by distance and weight but I think it’s still better than an open feeder. I don’t have rats (yet) but field mice.Wow great job there that is a wonderful playground for them
I guess my wee chooks wouldn’t be able to use the treadle feeder then, most of mine are so small.
Spoiler for @RoyalChick needed!
Nice! Did they get to play in the yard today?
OH NO! Speak of the devil. Glad you were there to intervene. How did it pin her against the fence with the netting in the way?
Awww, if she wernt molting, I'd pick her right up and snuggle her. I'd love to see a pic of your sweeter heater set up. I'm in CT and the cold doesnt seem to stop them too much, but they all like to do a mild molt this time of year so a sweeter heater might not be a bad idea to have layin' around just in case. Nice lookin' chickens btw

Not today, my dog was out. And my parent's dog is out now helping the guys stack firewood.
they'll get to come out soon though.
