I know we do get rats in the chicken coops on my allotment because I have seen them but this does look like a good idea to me.

Looks good to me.

It won't feed a lot of birds at one time
It should keep mice out though

I'd be reluctant to purchase a $75 feeder whose reviews state comb damage, sucess of squirrels operating it and chickens slow in operating it, chickens scarred of it and rats probably able to operate so find alternatives to dealing with rat problem. But that's me.

Seems to save on feed when wild birds are the theives. Do you live in continental Europe for shipping?

I live in England, they are in Wales. So no problem there.

I think that if you could afford it, this feeder would be better: http://www.grandpasfeeders.co.uk/ I think the design and materials are better and if I could have afforded it I would have bought one. Two or three chickens can feed at once too, which is all you need if you have a smaller flock. If you have wild birds or mice/rats or both eating your chicken feed, you'll notice a big savings in feed right away. Under bad situations, it wouldn't take long for it to pay for itself. I ended up making one from wood; you can find plans in my sig.
