Does anyone have some cheaper suggestions for storing chicken feed.
The galvanised ones I found online all vary between £80-£180.

I keep mine in plastic dustbins and haven't had any trouble(yet!!) they only cost a few quid each. -
We use plastic dustbins from B&Q for our dog and chicken food...
We regularly have mice etc in the garage, but in a year they haven't attempted to chew through the bins...Comment

I bought a galvanised bin from the local equine store.
Think it cost about £25 - was going to get a plastic one, but I've seen holes made by rats ( or giant mice) and they contaminated the feed, so I changed my mind!

I store my horse feed in a dead freezer, it's in a shed, but has been rat proof for over 10 years. I know vermin have tried to get in cos the seal has been nibbled all around, but nothing has got in so far.All at once I hear your voice

I also use plastic bin... stored in shed (end of garage).
The omlet grub is excellent for keeping rain off food too - rather than the expensive galvanised feeders with hoods! Approx. a third of the price!

I opted for B&Q refuse bins. At £10 a shot, the mice will have to chew through a bunch of them before it becomes uneconomincalOriginally posted by OverWyreGrower View Post

I use plastic drums from CJ Birdfoods, they are in a wooden storage locker up against the house - so far (6 months) no problems.The weeks and the years are fine. It's the days I can't cope with!Comment

We've used galvanised trash cans for years with no problems, well worth the outlay. I just don't trust plastic ones to keep the vermin out. What's an omlet grub, please?

Omlet Feeders (click here)
They are quite cheap and good at keeping the rain etc off food (and come in snazzy colours!)
