I am looking for some secure metal storage bins for my layers mash and mixed corn, can anyone advise please where I could get some at a reasonable price.  I don't want huge ones just big enough to store a 20kg bag.  I could then put the feed in the outside shed rather than keep it inside my house.  thanks alison

I use a metal dustbin, cost 12 quid from he local hardware store.

And us Raeburg
They keep the rats out and as long as the lid is securely fastened (we use a bungy tie ) then no problems!!
We can fit 2x 20 kg sacks in ours!!

We use metal bins as well, but the best thing we have found is a big old broken freezer stores about 10 bags of feed and the rats and mice can't get into it!!!!!
