Rat proof chicken feeder

[JohnMac]

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

The rats only are about in the evening at ours so i just bring my feeder in every night........ ooh and we have some serious rat traps set at all times and when the weather is warmer we do stake out nights with an air rifle. Very efficient system i find.
