What do you put the treats in?

[Crabella]

I went to the local "dollar store" and bought a half dozen round layer cake pans... no corners to gunk up... I use 3 at a time to scatter the food so everyone can get a chance at the goodies... I've been giving them warm food twice a day because of the persistant single digit temps we have been having... They must like it, I went from 3-5 eggs a day to 8-10 and I do not have supplemental light.

Round cake pans, that's an idea. I have a similar type flat pan that looks like an oil change pan except with a lower lip around the edge. It came from the dog section of WalMart for about $3, but cake pans sound practically identical and if they are only a dollar that is cheaper too.

I also use the rubber TSC bowls, but I have the small ones and they flip them. Doesn't bother me, they can eat it off the ground. For less-messy treats I usually just throw them around on the ground anyway, a bunch in one spot, and then smaller amounts off to the sides so the lower ranking birds get a chance for them while everyone else is storming the big pile.
