Got Red Mite in Your Hen House? These products will help...
All chickens get clean by getting dirty 😊 Just like a human bathtub, a dust bath to chickens is all about cleanliness. It's not only chickens who like to hit the dirt – you may spot other birds such as sparrows and blackbirds taking a dust bath too. The dust or sand absorbs surplus moisture and oils on the skin. A dirt bath maintains the water resistance of the outer feathers of a chicken. It also deters parasites such as mites and lice by coating the insects' breathing pores or simply driving them away. Dust bathing is an important part of keeping chickens healthy and clean. Once fully coated in dust or sand, the chicken will have a shake-down, just like a dog after a dip in a river. A quick preen of the feathers, and they'll be all done and dusted. Literally. In addition to these physical benefits, dust-bathing is also thought to be mentally rewarding for hens. It helps them relax, and is a way of socialising too. Keep your hens mite and lice free with an Appletons Dust Bath Kit. Your Appletons Dust Bath Kit includes: Recycled rubber dust bath bowl with carry handles – heavy duty and flexible 1 cup calcium carbonate + REFILL 1 x 1.5kg fine sand + REFILL 1 cup wood ash + REFILL A dash of medicinal herbs (can be lavender, rosemary, lemon balm or mint) + REFILL Dimensions: 56cm including handles, bowl diameter at top 50cm, height 22 cm. We have supplied all you need except for the dry dirt, which is best sourced from your own backyard. Make sure it is dry, fine and friable. Dust Bath Bowl is best placed undercover or out of the rain on wet days. Everything your flock needs for two complete dust baths!

The naturally weather-resistant perch not only features an innovative bracket design — allowing it to be placed anywhere on any chicken run — but is also suitable for use by all breeds of chicken.

Slaughter cone. Using a killing cone is a foolproof way to cull poultry. Made of galvanised iron. Safe and humane Fix to a post or wall. Ideal size for heavy breed poultry and ducks. Dimensions: Length 35cm. Diameter 27cm. Step-by-Step Humane Use of a Dispatch Cone 1) Prepare Equipment: sharp killing knife (at least 12–15 cm, double-sided if possible), very clean, disinfected. Cone: mounted at a comfortable working height. Optional but best practice: poultry stunner (electric or percussive). Have a bucket/tray beneath for blood collection. Keep the environment quiet and calm (away from other birds if possible). 2) Catch & Handle Gently Approach calmly, hold the bird firmly but gently. Support wings against the body to prevent flapping. Avoid chasing birds, as this causes stress. 3) Place in the Cone Insert the bird head first into the cone. The cone should be snug so the bird cannot turn or flap. The head and neck should extend out of the bottom. 4) Stun (Preferred Method) If you have a stunner, apply it now: Electric (electrodes applied to both sides of the head) or Percussive (a rapid blow to the head, causing instant unconsciousness). Confirm unconsciousness (no blinking when the corner of the eye is touched, no righting reflex). ⚠️ If no stunner is available, you must cut swiftly and very cleanly (step 5). 5) Neck Cut Use the sharp knife to make a deep, firm cut just behind the jawbone, across both sides of the neck. Aim to sever both carotid arteries and jugular veins in one clean stroke. Avoid cutting the spine or decapitating — bleeding is more effective and humane when vessels are cut. 6) Allow to Bleed Out Keep the bird in the cone while it bleeds. Reflex flapping is normal, but the bird should be unconscious if cut/stunned correctly. Time to death is usually under 60 seconds. 7) Confirm Death Before removing from the cone, check: No rhythmic breathing. No blink reflex when touching the eye. No heartbeat. 8) Aftercare Dispose of blood and offal hygienically (MPI requires this). Clean and disinfect equipment after each use. ✅ This method is considered the most humane way for home kill poultry in NZ when a cone is used. ✅ SPCA recommends always stunning first, but if not possible, the cut must be rapid and precise. ℹ️ Learn more Blog: How to Cull a Bird | Appletons - our step-by-step guide to humanely culling poultry Chicken Health 101 | Appletons - a complete guide to keeping your flock healthy Shop Chicken Accessories - browse our full range of chicken accessories
