 Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2005 5:04 pm Post subject: Basic list to start with. |
 |
|
Righto getting to the house build stage now and as soon as done can go round to george and pickup the 3 laydees.
However what would be a basic list of supplies to get going with. Not 'an every angle and scenario' type of list just the basics.
I will have:
House
Sawdust/chippings
Straw
Feeder doo da
Water doo da
Chicken feed
What else should I add for the first week or so's keeping.
I would like to keep it as organic as poss so any herbal tricks and preventatives like the cider vinagar trick would be the way to go. But what prevent/helps/cures what. |

don't forget grit - your birds will need some to help digest their food.  |

You sir are a gentleman.
I shall have my people call your people and arrange for staff to pop round tomorrow am.
Overwise I'll give yer a buzz in the mornin' and spin round in the motor.
Whichever suits.

LOL, no problem, I should be in most of the day (and I rarely leave the house in the morning anyway)
Don't let my people intimidate your people though,  |

Thats me sorted but still may be handy for the new people such as me to have a list of stuff needed.
I run old Lambretta's and Vespa's and in a manual I have there is a tools listwhich they split it up to basics to carry, best to carry, basic workshop and complete workshop, so on that theme maybe;
Basics (first few weeks)
Preffered
Complete
Natural / Chemical
Could sit well in Golden Nuggets. |

There is a first aid list in the golden nuggets already.
Take a peek there at the helpful links...it will give you more ideas.
Then there is also a new chicken keepers thread there also.

And what about Jamie, I suppose he just acted cool and tried to hide his embarrassment about his Dad? |
