Sometimes, the chickens aren't the problem.

[Mother of Chaos]

I didn't tighten the treadle correctly on one of my treadle feeders. So after a few days, it stopped opening the door. But the chickens knew how it worked, knew that standing on the treadle should make it open. And hilariously, I watched one of them angrily peck at the treadle feeder, like an annoyed person kicking a non-functioning vending machine.

That is a chicken after my own heart!!!

Mine peck the lid of their dust bath if I don't open it. Sorry girls, if it's pouring rain, pool's closed.

I got one similar to this and my dad asked if I was getting ducks, lol. When I explained it was a sandbox for the chickens he just walked away, lol.
