Rooster doesn’t like feeder

[NDchickenlady]

Now that my rooster has a full grown comb, which is quite large he doesn’t like to stick his head in the rent a coop feeder with the holes. Is this a normal behavior? I like these feeders because it’s covered and holds a lot of feed.

Can the port covers be removed?

Yes it is normal. Sometimes their combs don't even fit in the holes, but sometimes roosters don't want to sick their head in places instead of being on the lookout for predators. My roosters pick at the bits the hens spill and I have an oops hole smaller but no port from making my own feeder. In my other coop I put a small amount in a rubber dish to make sure the roos have a chance at some feed.
