Easy extra coop cup/feeding bowl solution

[stace]

A handy hint if you have bolt-on coop/feeding cups and want to add extra cups/bowls.

Large cookware warehouses usually have a wide range of basic white ramekins. Many of these will fit the 5oz and 10oz coop cup attachments. It's a cheaper way to get extra bowls for easy swapping out and cleaning than buying a whole new set of stainless ones with the attachments. 

Take the attachment in to the shop to be sure to get ones that will fit. You should be able to get basic white ramekins for under $2. They come in a range of sizes and depths, going up by .5cm. 

Here are the usual kinds of bolt-on attachments. It should also work with those hang-on ones as well. 



And here with the ramekins.

Great idea, stace!

Hey that is really good idea! I have a few of those so I think I will see if my ramakins fit them and use them for veggies in the aviary

Well, hopefully the ones you've got fit, Rachael Kellett. Those two attachments I've shown are both 10oz, but one fits an 8.5cm ramekin and the other a 9cm one. Seems there can be a very slight variation depending on the type of attachment.
