Chicken keeping Shopping list?

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I've found an online site to purchase everything I need for my chickens and the prices seem good. I wonder if someone could glance at my list to check I've got the right stuff?

 

We're getting 3 hens by the way, so I hope I've got the right size feeder/drinker?

 

1024 - Super Drinker (4 Ltr - 6.95 GBP)

1006 - Outdoor Galvanised Feeder (2.5kg - 22.50 GBP)

1090 - Poultry Spice (remove)

1086 - cider vinegar (2.5Ltr - 5.99 GBP)

1099 - Stalosan F (Trial Shaker - 2.50 GBP)

1140 - Mixed Grit 3kg (remove)

1070 - Diatom (2kg - 15.99 GBP)

 

Anything important I've forgotten? :think:

 

Many thanks! :clap:

Garlic powder :D . Brilliant for making poos less whiffy.

 

If you're getting a wooden house, I'd get some red mite powder too. Even if you're not, there's no harm getting some anyway.

 

What type of flooring are you planning on? I only ask because you might be better getting a large tub of Stalosan F with that order (P&P is a lot because it's so heavy and you'd need more very soon if you only got a trial shaker). I have an 8kg tub which has lasted 18 months and still has a third left.

 

Have you found a local equine supplier for your pellets, mixed corn and bedding? (Hemcore, Aubiose, Easibed, Nedzbeds are all good types). If so, check them out for some of those items - they usually sell the vinegar & garlic powder.
