Bakeries and grocery stores are also a place to find empty, you may have to clean them, food grade buckets with lids.

This is awesome. Looks like it would be in the permanent category. It is at my house. Chickens are a labor of love. One theme I've noticed on BYC is those of us that re-use, up-cycle and recycle stuff for our girls.
Any grocery store, we have Food Lion here, with a bakery should have both the large 5 gal and the smaller size food grade buckets. Wal-Mart charges for them here in Washington, NC but the grocery stores do not. But I think the Wal-Mart charge just depends on who is working when you go in and ask. I use the smaller buckets for making FF and to carry scraps, water, etc.. I have 8 girls and expanding as we speak. Maybe adding 5 more, Ameraucana's if I'm lucky enough to find some, and a silkie . I know this isn't a lot but it's all I have room for right now.
Thanks for the pepper spray idea. I use the extra large totes with the locking handles and under a lean to. It's been >5 years and nothing in it yet. Better safe than sorry and will be spraying away with pepper spray!

Posting so I can find this later. I do think it was very clever a build.
