Hi all - I don't know if this should go under "feeding & watering" or "predators & pests", so I'm posting under both. We have a BAD rat problem all of a sudden, and they are starting to gnaw through the heavy wooden feeder (with a pressure-plate opening) that my friend built, so we're looking at other solutions. The metal versions of that feeder, where stepping on a plate opens a lid on the feeder trough, is very expensive for our small flock of seven (mostly elderly) hens, but if that's the best solution, I'm open to getting one. Just thought I'd check here first to see what others have found helpful. Thanks so much - I always get great advice here!
