Farming rodents for me is a cost of doing business that is aggravating and often difficult to avoid once we start confining the chickens. With my chickens on a maintenance diet only, the feed is put out so consumed in its entirety before dark. Being very lazy, I do not consistently put up feed after dark. What has worked is to make so feeder is on elevated platform in a large bowl that the chickens my fly up to and rodents cannot reach by climbing or jumping. That makes your feeding system more complicated and some chickens have to be more motivated by hunger than is ideal for egg production. being smart takes energy.Oh boy. Does everyone move the feed inside at night? Do you have a suggestion?
