thank you, I've been seaching and never came across this one. I'm going to try the tomato cage thing first, if that doesn't keep the crap off the lid, then what's another 25 bucks towards this hobby......

My solution for a homemade waterer. A plastic Pure Leaf tea bottle filled with water. It was out there from July to just now without them trying to roost on it. A gallon milk jug of water would be bigger and weigh 8 lbs so would be difficult to knock off.

Instead of modifying a tomato cage, I threw in the towel and for 13 bucks, ordered one of these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018URW9SK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

That's cheaper than the rent a coop hats...thanks for posting it. I have tried several things, currently using open top hanging feeders which suck when it rains. (but they are easier to fill)

Use a bungee ball to attach the cone to the lid. One hole centered in lid and hole at tip of cone, use your choice of ring/clip to keep cord from slipping back. Or tie a knot in end of cord or think outside of the box.
