We have several roosters in our flock and are unable to free range and the boys will fight each other even through the wire between their lots. They have individual coops, waterers and feeders. To simplify their care, I am looking for ideas for the feeders. We currently recycle the gallon size water bottles by cutting out one of the sides large enough for them to get their head into to the feed. I gather these each night because of rodent concerns and there is no way to close these. I was wondering if you all have thoughts for a feeder that would allow them to get their heads and combs in to feed but allow me not to have to collect them each night and redistrbute each morning. We currently have seven roosters. I appreciate your outreach. You are absolutely right. Working with these roosters, I've seen their behavior is very, very misunderstood. It's nice to know there are others who see it, too.
