the blue barrels are either twenty or forty here... at the feed store. I havent looked on Craigslist.

But Dang even at 40 thats ten dollars a piece for nest boxes that would hold two to three birds.... And AND about an hour or two woth of work.... Waterproof bug proof....

Pressure washable....

even Steam washable for those who dont want to use insectacides.....

Some car washes have a steaming option for getting grease....

I got mine for 100 at the feed store.... But mine was 250 gallons.

people around here use them for Aquaponics so the price stays pretty high.

The ones I saw on on craigslist said 275, I just went out and checked mine, 330, must be they make them different sizes.
I was on another thread where someone posted their aquaponics setup and they had those tanks.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is an emissions control liquid required by modern diesel engines. It is injected into the exhaust stream. DEF is never added to diesel fuel. It is a non-hazardous solution of 32.5% urea in 67.5% de-ionized water.

Urea is pretty benign organic compound

I think a good rinse and you could use them.

@perchie.girl thanks! That's what I wanted to hear from someone else beside my mind. I figured they should be safe but didn't really want to risk anything!

I agree with deb, should be safe, it's just piss lol.
Ours are rinsed out good before we can take them. They had potassium hydroxide in them, they use it in food we eat so it must be safe right? Lol. The 55 gallon barrels I can get just had soap in them.
