Anybody have a favorite way to store extra chicken feed? We buy a 3 month supply at one time, and just added to our flock… so like 30 birds now. We have a few plastic mismatched trash can type feed cans, but I’d like to improve on this if possible. Would you do food grade steel? Some kind of tote? TIA #chickens #grownosrt #question #homestead #backyardchickens

I would go with metal trash cans, the plastic ones rodents can chew through. We have a few dead fridges that some friends gave us and we're going to bury them and use them to store feed too. Anything so that the wood rats and field mice can't get into the feed.

Something like this would work well. I used them for storing malted barley for home brewing.
Thank you. That is a good size. My husband was looking at the 50 gallon ones and we were worried that those would be too big to reach down to the bottom. BTW- I have been praying for you and your wife. I hope you are recovering well from your surgery and that she is feeling strong and healthy.
Thank you so much! Prayers are always appreciated. We know there's only so much we can do, and that the healing comes from God. I'm mostly recovered from my surgery, and will be meeting with another doc next week about another surgery to fix this one. 😒 I was reluctant to get this one done, but the hernia was getting worse and didn't want it to advance to serious complications. I waited almost 2 months for our schedules to work out for this one surgeon, only to have his first hernia failure in about 10 years. God works in mysterious ways.
Oh good grief. That’s rough. He does indeed, but sometimes I wish he would explain things ahead of time. 😂
