For years we've used this type of plastic feed scoop:
 

 
However, having the handle on the back makes it a pain for scooping direct from feed sacks, or from the small blue plastic barrels. So, I bought one of these at our local farm store:
 

 
This is a lot better since having the handle on top makes scooping out of tight places much easier.
 
However, our cockerel Adolf had a go at me this morning, taking me so much by surprise that I instinctively threw the scoop at him and of course cracked it right down the middle  .
 
My current inclination is to just make a new one by cutting down an old bleach bottle or similar, but I don't mind buying one if I can find a really good design that will last. So my question is, where can I get a really robust (metal?) version of the blue scoop above, or some other design that works well with feed sacks and small barrels?  Any ideas folks?

Stubbs scoops work well with feed bags http://www.viovet.co.uk/Stubbs_Plastic_Feed_Scoop/c9211/?quick_find=132216&gclid=CNCC5_qDtsACFSITwwodYQIAOQ

I use a stubbs as well-for everything, it must be 10 years old (although I've not cracked a cockerel with one )

We have 2 Stubbs type. One  of them we have had for years and the second one we got at a boot sale for 20p  . Both are still going strong but I don't tend to throw them at vicious cockerels

An old saucepan has worked fine for us for years.
