Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

Is it possible to buy grain in CARDBOARD or PAPER bags?
I have made a feed plan for my flock but I'm having trouble with the grains. I need Whole Wheat, Whole oats, and cracked/whole corn.
My local-ish produce store sells all the grains,
Hard Wheat 25kg $.22.50
whole oat 25kg $.23.50
cracked corn 25kg $.26.50
75kg = $.72.50
Which is a very good price for value, but it is in large plastic bags and I am trying to reduce the waste(or waste altogether) from the farm.
Any company/mill suggestions? I am on the Southcoast NSW.
Don't have any company mill suggestions but I've seen people reuse the bags to sell manure. If you have any livestock, scoop up their poops, bag them and stick them out the front with a sign. $2 a bag. If people steal them, so be it, but most people are honest. Can help feed the chooks if its an option for you.
 
Anyone on here know where to find chocolate Pekin bantams? I have other colours but I love the chocolate variety..

You can only ask, but this time of year most breeders only have pullets and cockerels available. I can PM you a list of bird transport companies if they don't have any fertile eggs.
I’m not in a rush, happy to wait a while, I just found the one you sent said no shipping so I’ll keep looking
I’ll wait til spring to look for fertile eggs or young chicks

Have you tried contacting a poultry club local to you? They would really have the best connections for you, as they know what's in your area and who has what.

Are you sure this is safe and admitted with the bird flu spreading?
