That's a good idea. If they are getting deliveries from a local mill maybe you could just have them order extra and have the feed truck auger some into a drum for you while they are getting a bin filled.
If they are milling/mixing their own grains maybe they'll give you a better...
Try to find a mill in the area and ask them what their minimum bulk order is. If you could go out to the mill and fill a 55 gallon drum that would be close to 500 lbs of feed.
What were you using for bedding? We buy a bale of shavings to start chicks on and after that it's old hay or straw...
