I have friends coming by car at the end of the month, they're offering to bring me some stuff over. I normally have tea, marmite etc...but this time, I need chicken supplies. Having been away so long, I cannot remember what is available to buy in the agri shops. I need some Louse Powder....and if there is anything for Red Mite that can be bought in the shop that would be good. ACV of course. Is there anything else you can think of. He is not a chicken person, so I will need to be quite specific. Oh, and can you also let me know what big Agri places there are near Canterbury/ Thanks.

I can get wormer quite easily from the local pharmacy here. I have replied to his email, asking if he minds having a delivery...and then I'll order a large DE. Is Louse Powder still called that?

Kris Thanks for that Kris.....I knew the Scats one (we were there recently) but not the Wingham one, which will be nearer for John as he is in Littlebourne. No hatching eggs, don't need any Thanks, have sent him another email....hope he has room for the 10k tub of Diatom Anyone any idea how big this is in volume?

They seem to concentrate more on pigeon stuff, but between the two shops you may be able to get everything you need.
