How do you store your chicken supplies?

Very cute, but in my coop with open shelving all those pastels will look gray-brown in 6 months.

I'll stick with my freebie jars.

they are freebie jars! folgers coffee cans spray painted whatever colors the creater had on hand. i only have black, blue, and red on hand. not pretty pastels! it's still a good idea if you dont live on an acre of land, and need your small backyard to look like a backyard. it also demonstrates ideas

I have one breeder male and a backup for my breeds, all large fowl. My breeding coops and pens are one male to around 10 females at the most. The backup male goes in another coop and pen with the other females from that breed and I do the same for all of the breeds.

Q:"How do you store your chicken supplies?" A:Strewn about here and there.

I actually keep it in the back of my car where it stays nice and dry but it doesn't stay there very long and I put it in buckets for easier handling. It's easier to put it in the buckets out of the back of my car. I'm an old lady so I like to make things as easy as possible.

I also keep some thing in the garage and other things in the barn, like extra feeders incubator, hatchers, brooder etc.

So right now I have a bag of crumbles in my trailers (temporary housing while I build a house!) living room, a bag of pellets and another bag of crumbles in an old deep freezer (mouse proof!) in the barn closest to my trailer (plus ten bags of dairy texture for my cows). I have my summer collected and sun dried wood chainsaw shavings for the deep litter coop in old feed bags in a barn a km or so between me and that coop. The main coop has two metal garbage cans of feed one layer pellets and one whole wheat. My oyster shell is in old cat litter buckets with lids in the main coop shed. Going to move most of this once my house is complete, but basically right now stuff is scattered from one end of our property (600 acres) to the other!

All you organized neat people make me SO jealous!

i buy 2 pounds-4 pounds at a time. 500 lbs.

Oh, and my feed store will give me $1off per bag if I order a full ton! Maybe when I get some meat birds? We also have a carefully mouseproofed feed room in the big sheep barn... not for chicken feed, mostly for cow and sheep texture and supplements, but that’s fairly neat... I’ll see if I can get a photo!
