Feed storage?

[ceyoung77]

I had been using (2)55 gallon barrels to store feed, but while remodeling my coop recently I have discovered that that the weight has caused some unwanted settling. I like to keep at least one of the barrels full, approx. 250-300lbs, so I am not running to the feed store every week. What is everyone's go-to for feed storage containers? Thanks!

I use several Vittles Vaults. They have large, threaded lids, and one on my deck - for birdseed - even frustrated a squirrel.

I use the metal garbage cans, which hold two fifty pound feed bags.

Same, although I have one that fits 2 50 lb bags and one that holds 3.

I’ve seen smaller sizes too that likely hold 1 bag, but sounds like you’re looking fo larger.

Where do you store the food? I'd like to keep it outside next the coop. Do I have to worry about raccoons getting into it like I do with cat food?
