Redwing Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I use a lot of gravity feeders for my chooks and found that in the night they all got out their tool kits and removed the nuts and bolts leaving the blooming feeders useless and me with a lot of green and red saucers Obviously the chickens spirited away the nuts and bolts and sold them to s"Ooops, word censored!" metal dealers as no trace was ever found Anyway I have cunningly thwarted them by replacing the missing nuts and bolts with cable ties! it works a treat and they can't remove them......although my pliers have gone missing..... I thought this may help anyone else who is binning feeders each week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
