Sadly yes

So if I’m doing a lamb should I just buy like 6 bags? Will the food go bad? Same with chicken feed.

I've stocked up on my flour and keep it in a cool room sealed on a shelf as I don't have sufficient freezer space. It seems too be lasting really well. I'm worried about the chickens feed to be honest.

By the way I tried too reply but it wasn't working for some reason

When I needed to store a larger amount of chicken feed...chick starter, layer, and scratch grains, I kept them in the house in my utility room.
Cold doesn't so much cause feed to go bad, though it will effect the vitamins and minerals added to feed, it's heat that can cause things to go rancid faster than normal.
If there is a cooler place inside your home I'd aim for storing feed there.

When you get the feed, try to check the expiration date, or the milling date. Usually it's in the stitching or on the bottom of the bag. Often a feed is good for 4 to 6 months (under normal storage conditions) from the mill date. If you can find the freshest milled feed possible for your lamb, store it well, it should last.

Since covid hit I've had a harder time sourcing things I needed for GF baking. When there was a break and things were easier to find for a little while, I stocked up because I have a large freezer for the various flours. Rice too.
Currently potato starch is scarce, which is a common flour addition in GF baking.

For some reason it's hard for me to simply reply. I have replied and I don't know if you have seen it.

Below is a link of where our chicken feed came from but this was in 2019, it's all I could find

Broccoli and cheddar quiche is done. The recipe is in the index. That’s what I was trying to say earlier when I said the post number

Thank you so much. I’m probably going to donate part of my room to a stack of feed bags.

Do any of y’all have a Breadtopia account? I just joined the forum. Love it so far!

Not really baking, but I made some lovely energy blocks for the garden birds.

Fat from the chicken skin, some mixed grains and dried black soldier fly larvae
