New Layena Bags

[ThinkingChickens]

Well, if anyone would like to send me some and I'll make a tarp for them as well that would be fun. I don't have enough chickens to go through bags unfortunately.

I've been saving mine for a while. Thanks for all the great ideas. I was thinking I'd use them for insulation in our soon to be new coop addition... but why hide 'em.

can anyone tell me what they are made of (feed bags) ?
Is it coated paper or is it a type of woven poly (plastic) type material?

Tks

FYI... I just bought 3 bags of Layena last night at TSC. 2 bags of Layena which were in Pink poly bags and a bag of Scratch that was in a poly bag.

My mind is just filled with ideas for the poly bags.

- The hand bag is the best idea! I'm going to have the pink ones turned into hand bags.
- Also love the idea of sewing some together to make a tarp.
- How about using to make a large canopy for shade for the chickens... Sort of like a umbrella.

It's woven poly bags. Sort of like the plastic sand bags seen along side the roads. However, much more tightly woven to keep out moisture. Actually, I think the exterior of the bag is coated to keep out moisture.

I was at TSC last night and all the chicken feed related bags were in poly bags except Dumor products. Cat foods is not in poly bags rather in plastic lined paper bags.​

Does anyone happen to have one of these bags? It's from Walmart Scratch. I have a Layena pink bag if you'd like to trade. It looks like this
