Storing DE

[Dutch552]

I just bought another 50lbs of DE this morning and would like to know how everyone stores the stuff so it stays dry and is easy to scoop out when needed.

I just keep mine in a dry spot in a bag in the coop

Mine also stays in the bag but I also drop the bag inside a large metal trash can with a lid, all stored in the feed & equipment area in the breeder house. When I need to treat the pen's and birds I just scoop it into a bucket and go from pen to pen sprinkling it with a scoop.

In bag, in a Rubbermaid bin.

Same here. I put the bag in the bin to protect it from getting wet.

I puor it into the Rubbermaid, and I store it in a pen (more like a stall, really). When it's time for baths, I just remove the lid and dunk each bird into the powder, fluffing it all around them. I overdo it a bit, so when I put them back down and they shake off the excess, the bedding gets dusted as well!

I use a plastic clamp to keep the bag clamped shut.
