How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Ness3103]

i was just wondering what you all use for storing the food, bedding, etc

 

i've got no room in the shed, (which is why i have two big bags of hemcore and a big bag of layers mash in my front room ) so want something weather resistant.

I have metal bins for the food and a big green plastic dustbin for the Aubiose (trouble is it puffs up so you always have half left in the bag )

 

I got my metal bins from Ikea (as did a few others on the forum) they are about £11 and a little smaller than a proper dustbin but a bag of feed fits almost exactly

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I keep feed etc in a metal bin inside a shed. If that's not an option how about something like

this?

 

I think you can get all sorts of sizes of them .

[Egluntyne]

Metal TopCat type bins for food, with luggage cords to hold the lids in place for food, and the Aubiose lives in the shed.

Metal bins for food/corn.

 

The Aubiose stays in the plastic sacks in the shed.

All of my stuff is in the side passage.

Guinea Pig + Quail food is in little plastic bins but the lapers pellets + mixed corn stays in the sacks and on a bench/chair. I used to put it in bins in the shed but used to go to get some in the morning and see a little mouse peering up

 

I found if its in the side passage in bins, because its a bit warmer and more humid the bottom would get hot and the pellets would stick together. It's fine in the bags so I do that and just scoop it up into the feeder

I keep mine in a big plastic dustbin! All their sundries are on a high shelf!

Hemcore bags are really strong so as long as you open it from the top end (or cut) if you fold it over it should stay pretty dry(or cover it with a small tarpaulin and bricks) but I keep mine in an open front barn and as I say the bags are stronger than the aubiose bags.

 

Even if it does get wet or damp it wil dry out pretty quickly as it was designed to be wetted before use with horses

 

good luck indie

Main supplies in garage in plastic dustbin and hemcore stood with it. I got an upright storage cabinet from B&Q where I keep brooms, rake, stalosan, mite powder, garlic, cod liver oil, click and lock with pellets, dustpan, brush, newspaper, cloths, gloves, clips, stool, grit, and the odd dead body. How much can you fit in a cupboard?

[Olly]

It's amazing how much kit you collect, isn't it!

 

Plastic dustbin with metal clips on the lid, it was about £6 from a 'pound shop' type of place, you know the ones that sell plastic chairs and storage boxes etc. That holds a sack of layers pellets just perfectly, then if I spill any while filling the grubs they fall back into the bin and I tip them out when the sack is finished.

 

I don't bother with anything for the aubiose, it's just in the plastic bag in the garage. I do worry that one day I'll put my hand in to get some out and find a mouse-nest, though!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I just leave the bedding in the garage too . No nests found yet (and I know we do have at least 2 mice in the garage ).

i was thinking of the storage chests in b&q but oh is getting a bit because i'm spending so much on the chickens and i haven't even got them yet. i must admit i have got a bit out of hand with my spending so i think i'll get some bins for now gotta keep him sweet cos i'm already looking at the clear tarpaulins for the wir

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Your OH is just gonna have to get used to it . There's always something new to buy for our chickens .

 

If it would keep him happy (and divert attention ) you could always get corrugated plastic sheets from B&Q which only cost about £6 each. (I don't know how much a tarpaulin that size costs though!)
