We have a garbage can w/o a lid and have never had a problem. Although we also have a dog that barks if anything gets remotely close to the house.

lol

If we've never had a problem with any of these animals, will they suddenly just appear b/c there are chickens now?

I live in a subdivision that doesn't have big lots. What types of predators are usually seen in subdivisions?

We use it! Our chicks are only two or three weeks old, but it has worked fine. We homeschool, so since it's the end of the year we had lots of papers to available for shredding. :)

We've got the chicks in the kids' old mega block box. :) http://

That's what I figured. Let them enjoy life for a couple of months, and then eat them before they get miserable. Our chickens will be free ranging in the backyard and I'll throw out feed too, but I won't really be able to specifically limit their diet while also throwing out feed for the others.
