RE: Did you know chickens can live without food?
Thank you for this idea! I have some old rain gutter I can use for a trough and some cement blocks. That should make it high enough to keep the dirt out. Also much as I try ti keep the ground level under there, that's where they do their dust baths so it is always getting dug up and uneven. Cement blocks will prevent that too.
Yes that would work well! Just make sure it's heavy enough that if they stand on it it wont tip over as sometimes they fly up on to the side - you could maybe prop it somehow so that it won't tip. Good luck :)
