Predator getting into food

[Strix-Aliana]

Every morning I can see that something has gotten into their food bins. Unfortunately so much of the room in our coop is being occupied by a bunch of broodies! I really have no space to keep their bins indoors... my question is, do you dump the food if you know that something has gotten into it or can it still be fed to the chickens???

As long as the 'predator' is not defecating or urinating in the feed, it is still fine. It might be a good idea to remove the feed in the evening.

Feeding unwanted visitors is a bad idea! It's usable, as @sourland said, but do something about that situation soonest!

Agreed. It only puts my flock in danger... will definitely remedy the issue.

To the OP, get a cheap ($30) game camera, which comes in handy in oh so many ways. In this case, to find out who your intruder is so you can do something about it.

You may be shocked to find out what goes on around the chicken house and storage areas once the sun goes down. Shocked.
