Where do you keep chicken/coop supplies?

My coop is inside part of a 16' x 16' wooden shed, so I can store everything I need right there....a luxury I am very grateful for.
Bags of feed are in a galvanized 30 gallon trash can to exclude mouses.
 
I've got stuff in an assortment of spots. Feed is in Feed Vaults in the coop. Right now I've got 3 bags of pine shavings stored in the coop, as well. Luckily, the coop is 8 x 10 and I've only got 8 chickens so I have a bit of room to store stuff inside.

Outside the coop is one of those rubbermaid outdoor storage cabinets. Small stuff is stored in there. Feeders/Waterers from when they were chicks. Heat lamps. Rubber gloves should I need them. Stuff like that.

Meds purchased for the chickens are in the house so they won't freeze.
 
I have feed in a Rubbermaid trash can on wheels, with some treats, just outside the run so it doesn't get poo'd on. The shovel and wheelbarrow and rake live next to that. I attached some metal hooks inside for galvanized buckets that hold a dustpan, brush, Blue kote and other small supplies. In the coop next to a nest box is a hard plastic container of mealworms...which I plan to move inside for half the year when our temps soar. They can't get into it, but they probably lay their eggs staring at it wondering how to break in. :) I have a block of pine shavings in my sunroom that will probably find a home in our shop until I get another Rubbermaid on wheels.

Hubby wants to build an 8x8x8 coop for my girls, but I would prefer a shed to store everything in...they do fine with the smaller coops.
