@Sally Sunshine Any vet tape should be colored blue so the chickens don't peck it right? or is there a better color to use?
 
I usually tell my son to get his hands -out- of his pockets but I'm going to tell you to keep them -in- your pockets.

I got told that a lot.

Head shape reminds me of a jungle fowl dont it?
Yep, something on the wild side.

you will laugh when I tell you how I started doing it since I am not to lift more than 50lbs. I use a snow sled, drop the feed off the top of the stack on it and drag it through the gravel to the coops, lay the trash can sideways slide the entire sled into the trash can and tilt lift the trash can back upright and then just open the feed and let it in the bag.... Hey a girls gotta do what she has to do! they wont bag at 50lbs! only 100s
Ummm. Are you saying you do this with 100# bags? (they don't even offer 100# bags in my area that I know of.) But... if that's the case, then, even though you are working very smart, you're still lifting 100# when you tip that trash can back up. I hadn't considered laying my can down to slide the bag into it. But, I usually double up, so there's still a bag in the can when I add the second bag, so that wouldn't work for me. I use a kid sled in the winter, and when the ground is bare, I use a luggage dolly that I bought for $15 at the Habitat for Humanity Restore. If you folks haven't visited your local Habitat store, please do. Worthy cause, and lots of coop building supplies to be had!!!
