I have a problem. I have an open coop that I have no hope of rat proofing and a gravity fed feeder. At night, rats come in and have a feast. That feeder is reserved for the pullets I have. I feel like I either have to change the feeder to a tub with a lid. Although I got the gravity fed feeder to stop them pooping in it. The other solution is to take the gravity feeder in at dusk and put it back at dawn. But... I'm not an early riser I wake up at 9 and the pullets are up by 6. I worry them not having feed available will make them both hungry and compromise their growth.
