Feed going bad?

Would your laundry room be cool and dry?

yes, it's always between 75-76 degrees in there, and I'm gonna get a food storage container like the ones you use for dog food and put their food in there.

it's always between 75-76 degrees in there,

That would be about 24°C and I would not consider this "cool."

That's the temp of the house I'm in Florida and in the garage where the feed is it's always 85-100 degrees depending on how hot it is, the laundry room compared to the garage is pretty big you can feel it. And the house is the only cold place to store the food.

For me, cooler temperatures suitable for storage starts at 15°C (59° F) downwards.

Perhaps buying smaller amounts and/or storing in the freezer might work?

Sammie if you can, buy a metal trash can to store their feed in.

oh okay makes sense.

I don't know if my parents would be fine with my putting food in there I could try I would have to ask and when we go to tsc we always get the 50lbs bag bc for layer feed they only have 40 lbs and 50lbs and the 40lbs ones are more money

my mom wants to put the food in like those aluminum saltine cracker containers but it would even fit 5lbs and when i told her about this storage container she said no so I'm gonna ask my dad if we can buy this and put this in the laundry room.

i feel like you would prefer to have it right by the coop to access it easily but you can do what you want

I would but it gets super hot outside and that'll make it go bad faster and when I feed them I fill up the feeder and I leave it there until it's empty and I fill it up again and i don't put too much bc whenever I do it always rains but i don't have to fill it for like 3 days but now i have to make their food until i can go to tsc which idk when but ill ask
