seems as tho i have a hen roosting on the top of the feeder, its an open top and there's a pile in it most every morning. If i put the feeder under the nest box, it will keep them from roosting on it, but is that a good or bad place to put it? if i put it there, they wont be able to access all the way around the feeder.
or, should i try hanging it and will this stop the roosting problem? they have a roost bar (2x2) but im not sure if they even use it other than to stand on.
(my chickens do not live at my residence and by the time i get there in the am, they are already outside in the run and when i leave at nite, it is still light out. also, the door makes alot of noise when opened so im not sure they would stay on it if i went down late a nite to check. while the roost bar is dirty from dirty feet, i dont know if they sleep on it.)
