Hello all,
I would like to know how you all feed your chickens. I have a large tote with 8 ports around it, I take it out of the coop at night, and return it in the morning, ( free choice ) . My problem is mice, I dont know if I should feed them in the morning before I let them out to free range, or continue to let them eat when they want to. So I would like to know your thoughts, and see some pictures of your feeders.
Thank you in advance.
I see the chickens every now and then catching a mice
I have a 5 gal bucket feeder also, but I dont use it since I made the tote, I have 12 chickens now, had 15, and the tote feeds 8 at a time versus 3 in the bucket.I have a DIY 5 gallon bucket feeder with the PVC elbows like your tote. I keep my feeder in the coop suspended on a chain. I have not noticed any mice problem. I think it would be very difficult for a mouse to get up to the feeder.
