Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 My girls are limited to a fairly small freerange area and I was wondering if there would be any need to put some Stalosan down ? There must be a lot of poo in there although it's all getting scratched about and dug in so it's not obvious. Does anyone else put Stalosan anywhere other than in the run?

louise1976 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 You can buy Stalosan on ebay not sure of any other places on line though , I luckily got some from my local poultry supplier who has started stocking it. To use it you just sprinkle it in the area your chooks use, not much else to it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 can i just ask a where do i buy stalosan f and how do i use it Have a look here for info . It's important to use something if your girls are contained in a fairly small area (like their run). It keeps smells down and dries things out too. I sprinkle it around liberally in the run after a clean out (every 3 months or so). It is quite expensive if you have to pay P&P but I bought an 8kg box almost 2 years ago and still have loads left.

Blackrocksrock Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I put it down where they scratch out of their run and out of their fencing as they have been in the one spot and its a bit smelly getting = sour and I intend to use lime also when i see my friendly farmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthmam1 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi I get mine from Countrywide farmers. I dont know if you have a branch near you. They do seem to cover most of the country. I asked them to order it for me as they did not stock it rountinely. They were very helpful and it took about a week to arrive at the shop. sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidygirlsuk Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I use staldren, it's the same sort of thing. It's advertised for pigs but you can use it for a number of animals including chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 ask at your local equestrian store, mine doesn't stock it, but were happy to order it in. It worked out cheaper than the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I use Stalosan in the run too, if I can't get hold of it, then I order Bio-Dri - same thing but comes in smaller tubs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
