I keep our rabbits in the barn. They are in an elevated hutch, the feed is either in bags in a 55 gallon drum, or in a plastic rubbermaid tote for easy feeding. I do give them a handful of hay once in a while, we have 1500 pound bales in the next stall over. I dont have chicken down in that barn, so I use a scoop shovel to load the tractor bucket. It then goes to the compost pile. I just moved about 2 yards of compost to the garden to start getting it ready.
