How to DIY no roost for buckets?

[WhySayWhat]

I realize I'm "late to the party", but you could use those flimsy plastic cutting boards they sell at Dollar Tree...2 come in a pack. Fashion it into a cone and staple/sew/tie into shape. The same cutting boards work well for making templates for sewing patterns.

What about an upside-down tomato cage? zip tied in place and with the pointy bits folded over or snipped off?

I've spent a couple hours googling and looking for a decent DIY solution to this problem. There's got to be something cheap and readily available that I can use to keep the girls off the top of the 5 gallon bucket I'm using for their feeder. I've done a cursory search of the forums here as well but I'm apparently not using the right combination of search terms.

I went to the Dollar store and got a large plastic bowl, flipped it upside down and put a C hook in it. The bowl fits perfectly upside down on the lid of the 5 gallon bucket, and the C hook stops the chickens from roosting on it. I got 2 for $2.70

That is genius! Thank you
