I had planned to use something similar, but this is what I am afraid of. We're in the city and there are rats. They normally stick to alleys, but our block doesn't have one so they roam more. I don't want to do anything else than can tempt them to get more comfortable in our yard or our neighbors.
Ours are currently on growers feed which we get in small 5lb bags, but do plan to get larger bags once they are on layer feed
I think I know the jars you mean. We used to keep pet food in them in our condo when it needed to be stored in the open. I think that will be too small for what we're...
My flock is tiny in comparison. Just 4. So I'd need a bag to stay fresher longer.
Do you find it stays dry in the metal cans? I don't see why not, but they're also not sealed generally.
What systems/containers do you prefer for storing feed and supplements/treats and keeping them fresh? We will store food in the walkout of our basement.. We currently store wild bird food in the same area in covered plastic buckets, but we'll have things like scratch in much smaller quantities...
