You might be needing some of these if you can find some cheaper used ones?

We never have clean ones here. Or at least I mean if your getting from CL or marketplace.
I do always see plastic ones of various sizes. I just ain't keen on plastic because my luck a hoard of rats would decide to show up and eat holes in them.
Maybe get a few for short term emergency storage. Or maybe quit being a cheap @$$ and by a $50 or $75 freezer.

I don't use the plastic ones neither. I bought some of those Behrens 31 gallon trash cans with lids. The handle on the lid had small gaps, so I filled them in with a sealant so that bugs couldn't get in. I have those sitting on an old budwieser delivery pallet that handles the weight and holds up well. No rodents can chew through it.

I give it about 2 years and you'll be looking for chest freezers and a few of them. :lau

As the number of chickens and the feed need grows, I will keep that in mind.

Edited to add....
Better yet, I can always start looking now, or I can buy a new one for the house, and then move this old one out there. I bought this one used from a friend that had bought a new one several years ago.

@The Moonshiner Is it possible to turn old refrigerators or deep chest freezers that don't work into some huge incubator's?

Ya of course.
Never thought about how to lay out a design for a chest freezer but I'm sure you could.
Don't tease me, tell me you're seriously considering it.
