Three months and four different feeders later, I finally got one that works

I spent all summer trying to stop the rats from getting into my chickens' feed, bought a treadle feeder off Amazon, a cheap plastic one from Tractor Supply, and even tried hanging a bucket with a lid. The rats chewed through the plastic one in a week, the treadle kept jamming when wet, and the bucket ended up spilling everywhere. Has anyone else had luck with a specific kind of feeder that actually keeps rodents out but is still easy for the hens to use?

that treadle feeder jamming thing sounds like a total nightmare honestly

Is it really that bad though... I've had mine jam once or twice and it wasn't a big deal.
