I'm trying to avoid having to build something to cover the feeder, so I'm hoping for a low cost, safe and effective (where have I heard that before) way of keeping the top of my feeder clean.
I know chickens tend to poop on everything, and it normally doesn't bother me that they do, but we had a storm come through last night, and it wet the poop. Now, there were puddles of poop water on the feeder and I caught one of the chickens drinking it. And I had just put three gallons of clean water in the coop.
Picture of my feeder.
Is there anything I could put on lid that would perhaps persuade the birds from getting on top? Or at least make it uncomfortable or tricky enough to not want to stay up there. I thought about filling it with some of the landscaping rocks I have around the A/C, but some of them could have sharp edges.
Thanks!
