coco Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I use it both on my hens and in the house and nestbox. I've just bought a 1kg tub from Flytes of Fancy. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I bought mine from Flytes so Fancy too as they sell the puffer and the big tub so you can refill it. I have only been puffing mine into the coop but will start to put onto the hens too once they are settled in enough to be picked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Yes, Flytes of Fancy are the place to go. I put it in the nest box as they sleep in there - so they cover themselves with it. I also put it in the dust bath, and puff it on their bottoms and under their wings occasionally. The Flytes of Fancy stuff doesn't seem as puffy as the Omlet stuff, but it is whiter, and looks less mucky when you spread it round the coop.

Patricia W Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Costwold Chickens - but a bit far from you. My local feed shop will get things in for me too if I ask. Is that worth exploring? Postage is so high otherwise. Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I get mine off ebay, cheaper postage and it normally comes in bags which makes it cheaper still to post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
