Hi all! I am a new chicken owner of 6months. I have 11 chickens. I have tried a basic feeder, then a bucket with rodent waste proof inserts to feed my chickens but continue to feed the wild birds and rats more than my chickens. I've heard of people throwing out feed for the chickens twice a day. I'm at my wits end. I continue to bring the buckets in at night and store my food in metal bins, but more and more food keeps disappearing and more and more rat holes are appearing. Do any of you all feed your chickens that way? And what other advice do you all have to prevent feeding the birds and rats more than my chickens.
