moochoo Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Are you getting an eglu? If so you'll already get the grub for food and glug for water. If your getting a wooden coop it would depend on how many girls you were getting the size of feeders and drinkers you'd require. Food is of your own preference I give mine organic layers pellets but you can also get non organic pellets and organic/non-organic layers mash. You can easily use a mixed poultry grit for their grit intake. Red mite powder is great but I would say not a starting essential, get it whenever you can. I would recommend getting a bale of Hemcore, from a horsey type shop for their run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
