Years ago, someone suggested to put an old funnel over the top of the chicken feeder, to keep the chickens from sitting on the top and poo'ing into the feeder.
Well, we finally found a metal funnel that fits over the feeder. Considering we have not yet finished the new coop (story of my life, ha ha!) we had to come up with a solution.
We did find some very old feeders at an antique store, but they were all rusted. However, they had a metal piece in the center top, with a hook to hang them. I will be searching more places to find them in decent shape. Or we may build our own.
Anyway, for now, the funnel is a perfect way to keep them from roosting at the top of the feeder.
