Some You Win, Some You Lose



My Other Half went to a farm sale yesterday. He scratched his head and found that he had bought twenty economy size, galvanize chicken feeders and an assortment of poultry water troughs. WE HAVEN'T GOT ANY CHICKENS.
Ever been had?

  1. Well, if chicken feeders and water troughs are painted bright blue and come with red wheels - put me down for one!
    No! Make that two!
    A bargain and no mistake. :)

    1. Chickens and veggie gardens don't go together.

    1. I think car boot is probably the front runner.

    1. I might keep one or two for herbs. Claire's idea is a good one.

  6. Oh Molly, let's hope you can sell them for a profit. It reminded me of my mother buying a huge gong (It stood about 80 -90 cm high) at an auction - I think she was just trying to put the price up although she had nothing to do with the auction.

    I wonder what happened to it.

    1. You never know - it might be worth a small fortune now, if you came across it.

    1. I must admit I was non too amused when he turned up with them meself but I don't think he'll ever change. Perhaps life would be a lot less interesting if he did so I guess I'll have to stick with him.

    1. No - I think they're John's department - 2 cats keep me busy.

  9. Ooops, I'd buy a couple from you Molly, but I think the postage might be a killer.
    How about planting them up or turning them into mini herb gardens!!

    Claire :}

  13. Galvanized chicken feeders when decorated with fall leaves, acorns, pumpkins and such are real pretty in the house. I speak the truth-have seen them on the blogs. Thanks so much for your prayers, surgery soon.

  14. I love all these creative ideas. Maybe I'll keep a couple and see what I can do. Hope so much, that surgery goes well for you xx

  15. oh my that's a whole lot of something to have when you don't have a use for it. yes, you need to get creative Molly. I'm sure you can find some way to put them to use. Perhaps you need some chickens? It may be a sign from the universe that you're about to become an owner of chickens! happy week to you Molly.

  16. Well, they say that the price of scrap metal has gone sky-high, Molly. :-) Otherwise do you fancy going into organic egg production....?

  17. Pity I don't live nearer, I'd have had a poultry water trough from you!
