Description

Does anyone know what this is? The top and bottom separate and it looks like the bottom can be set inside the top portion. Anyone have any idea what this object is used for?

I just happen to live in lower DE,the chicken capital of the east coast. Therefore I know exactly what it is. It is a chicken feeder. a bottle goes on top full of feed allowing several chicken to feed at one time. People have started to paint the bottles with the approiate picture for the holiday and filling them with small candies.

Thank you LucyB123, I appreciate the input. We didn't have a clue what it was used for and it was driving us nuts. It's so easy to see what it is after you know. Thanks again.
