Yes 18 months ago me and my husband decided to get 4-5 chickens to help with the Tick problem in the yard, he wanted guinea fowl so I got silkies LOL. I got 13 (my mom's fault as they were a birthday present) after re homing a few cockerels I had 8. Then I got an incubator for Christmas last year and that was the it for chicken math, I found a new love for hatching and brooding chicks on top of my girls insisting that they be broody and raise chicks (why I keep the broody buster right in the coop, with silkies its a constant battle). After selling many chicks I currently have 21 silkies. One nice things about the silkies are they don't fly up onto things so it makes storing in the coop easy as they are not roosting above it and pooing all over the stuff. I got my Christmas present early- 4 Serama girls, they are still in quarantine in my spare bedroom but we will see how this set up works for chickens that fly and roost.

I wouldn't buy it for just the jar but it's a nice side benefit. :) I have even more inside the house, as jars for freezer jam, an easy snack container for things like chips, storage for tiny things on the desk or in drawers, etc.

That's funny because I was in a Facebook group that made homemade whipped body butter and such that use to buy this ice cream for the jars and would say the ice cream was a nice bonus. :D I have never bought any but I heard the ice cream is really good.

hi all. so it's been about 6 months i've been raising chickens. my supplies have gone from an extra canister of feed to bags of dried crickets in my pantry! HELP! that won't work for me. how do you store your chicken supplies. OCD ideas are very welcome as are anything Martha Stewart fancy!
i know they have to be critter proof, but how do you store your feed, snacks, fodder, oyster shells, grit, etc? pictures would be great.
Happy Day

PS: We keep the dog & cat food in the pantry. And since our chickens are pets, we store the feed in the pet section of the pantry. That's how the dried bugs got into the pantry, Eeek!

Everything goes in my shed. It’s rain proof and has plenty of room.

Oh it really is good (though I can't find my favorite flavor anywhere even though they still make it :p). The jars are seriously nice though, I've never had one crack or break even though I've used them repeatedly for years. They're obviously food safe too. Probably can't microwave them but they freeze very well.

Spoiler alert: The coop made it to the finish line. Just three years and a whole life chapter later.
