I have an old feeder that looks just like that! I am going to do that! My MIL will love it! Everyone else will think I have finally lost it

DD & I bought a chick feeder at a yardsale. The lady said it was a "country-style candy dish." I told her it WAS candy dish & would be dirtied by chicks by nightfall.

For the record, I would never, ever bring something in from the coop & serve food in it.

not even an egg????

The lady said it was a "country-style candy dish."

Now that's hysterical. So did she figure she was putting one over on you, or do you think she really didn't know?​

Cute but my "old"chick feeders don't come close to looking like that even if they did go through the dishwasher. Would be better for me to start with a new one.
