How do you store your chicken supplies?

[Fluffy&Cutie]

400 pounds a week? How many birds do you have?!

When I built my coop I incorporated a storage cabinet into the design. The top comes off and there are four latchable plastic containers inside to keep things dry. Two hold 50# of Flock Raiser crumbles (which I ferment on a daily rotating basis), one holds treats and the third miscellaneous stuff like the SweetPDZ I use in their poop trays. The top of cabinet is far enough below the trays so it doesn't take away from "floor space" and also provides a step up/down from their roosts.

I may get a little dampness around the edges of the floor when it rains real hard, but never had any problems with damp feed. No rats, bugs or snakes either, so I guess it's working.

i love that!

Feed bag goes into one 30gal metal galvanized trash can in the barn.
I have a storage shelf that I use. I got it for next to nothing when our local Boston Store went out of business. Everything, and I mean everything, else goes on that shelf that is even remotely chicken related. Medication, extension cords, lights, syringes, waterers, heaters, buckets, treats, etc. I have 4 or 5 of these shelves but only use one for poultry stuff.

Due to the possibility of certain medicines freezing, and having brooder chicks in the garage, certain supplies now resides neatly in my room

I don't store my feed because I buy it weekly and so I fill the feeders and it lasts the birds for a week but I go through 300 to 400 lbs weekly but I have a lot of birds. I do store my treats, scratch grains and seeds, in a large metal trash can in my barn.

Yikes!

View attachment 1617665 I purchased a used rattan shelving unit. They were popular in the 90's ++ and are easy to find on craigslist for a fair price. I keep it outside our backdoor, where I usually get mobbed by our sweet fuzzy babies. I am able to keep dog, cat, crumble and scratch, plus bones, treats and meds. I do clean it up every so often :/... Costco airtight storage containers rock, plus any reuseable old plastic jars, small buckets and tubs. All has to be bug, dirt and moisture proof. So far pretty perfect. I'm also thinking about finding another shelving unit as this may be a little outgrown.

GREAT! i love the shoes added there too. (we have black and brown widows, so our shoes will stay inside ) those containers are the bees knees!

I keep everything in the basement on our "Chicken Shelf". On the top shelf I keep grit, treats, etc. Then there is the emergency supplies- such as Nutri-Drench, Vetericyn, Corid, bandages, saline, splints, etc.
On the bottom shelf I keep heat lamps, heated waterers, etc.

nice organization!

My nest box is a repurposed tv stand. I store my containers on that. Metal trash can for feed. Metal popcorn tin for bags of mealworms, grit, and OS. 5 gallon bucket for scratch. Plastic tote for extra feeders, waterer etc. I have a bag of crumble in my mud room as I feed warm mash in the morning and it’s easier to have it in the house and vitamins and corrid in the bathroom cabinet as I fill waterer in there. Broody breaker cage and shavings next to nest box.

amazing. i ve got my silkies in the living room because i dont want to part from them. that lit a fire under the hubby's bottom to finish the coop. it;s not done, yet-so i ve still got time!

I keep all the bags of stuff in the garage. Feed is in metal trashcans for additional pest protection. Smaller amounts of snacks, grit and oyster shell are in the coop for easy access.
