Been having a few problems with rats (no doubt the long & severe Winter is making things worse) and commercially available feeder options aren't feasible... too expensive and too big a capacity for my four girls.
So I've made my own rat proof chicken feeder with readily available materials. To get the plan & instructions go to my blog site below.
Hope you find it useful. John
