Darn it! That yard rooster that hopped the fence and went to my neighbors the other day and they said that they would keep him for a pet, came back! Now I still have 3 yard roosters left again!

Toss him over the fence and pretend you know nothing.

I would, but I don't think he would obey me. I guess he got lonely over at the neighbors. They don't have any chickens.

I wish it was that easy!

It's for feed. It fills up the base and doesn't spill over, but the amount in the base is the same as the amount in the Mason jar. Maybe I need a bigger Mason jar? I have a pint one on there. If there was more feed in the jar, it would release slowly as the feed is eaten.

You most likely have this feeder.
I use these also. It just happens the small jars fit since the thread on them is same as the quart size.

I load up mine in the feed bucket and try to fill the bottom somewhat as I screw it onto the jar. When I set it right side up like in pix, the feed only drops about 1/3 of the way down. The feed is available to the chicks for extended time VS using an open container. Also keeps out the chick gumdrops out of feed.
You may also find that other jars from things like pickles from the grocery store use the same neck size . They can screw onto the feed holder and hold larger quantities as well.

I have one like that too. When I use it I fill the feeder, then the jar, then quick flip the jar into the feeder and rotate backwards until the threads match and then screw it in. It's great for the first week with new chicks as they don't go through feed that fast yet, but after they they become little pigs and I upgrade them to something bigger.

If I remember (which often I don't) @Babycat was closer to you, the swap is north of 101, we should set one up for the south side....
