How do YOU store your chicken feed???

[blueskylen]

same as most - galvanized trash cans with tight fitting lids. i had put some in an old cooler, but those darn mice chewed out the drain plug and got in.
Our old barn cat passed away and need to get a new one

Me too, except I made 1/4 plywood dividers to make 4 large sections in mine for different types of feed. I also use a defunct fridge for my flock raiser, since I buy 8-10 bags at a time. The smaller end section is a great place for meds/supplements. The freezers (for those who haven't seen this type of set up) is that the old fridge/freezer is set up on blocks/bricks on it's back, so it's then top loading. I can keep bird, horse & cattle feeds in one place

We use metal trash cans and keep them in their original bags. I can get a whole bag of scratch and layer food in one can.

WE store feed in sacks; 2 50lb bags to a 50 gallon blue HEAVY plastic barrels that have heavy screw on Lids.

I would say the gauge of plastic is at least 1/2 inch. I would hate to get clocked with one.

We also keep our chicken and dog food in really large galvaized trashcans with bungee cords from one handle--thru the lid --to the other handle.. I leave the food in the org bag, just open the top and use my large metal scoop to get it out.. I have two cans at the chicken coop==one with birdseed and treats, the other one holds extra bags laying pellets.

I usually leave stuff in the bag for the steel trashcans, but for the giant plastic one, we just dump it in.

We just dump our feeds in those metal trash cans, no plastic here. The rats would have a field day

I use one of these bins made by Suncast for chicken feed and another for dog food. They're stackable, and easy to get into. And they're pretty cheap, I got them for under $10 each.

We built a small hopper inside the chicken coop. It fits 2 bags of feed, and the feed just comes out the bottom when you open the hatch. No critters get to it because it is inside the coop in the corner.

I use one of those metal toolboxes, that go across the back of a pick up. You can find used ones pretty cheap. They hang on the wall, with a good sturdy bracket under each side. It holds 1 bail of shavings, & 3 50# bags of feed. Not to mention the hand tools & spools of wire that fit in the trays.
