We recommend every 4 to 12 weeks. Please wear a nose and mouth protector when undertaking this job due to all the fine dander and dust particles which could carry all sorts of nasty bacteria or fungi. We use a wide-mouthed shovel brush, pan, paint scraper and big plastic bin to clean our houses. Remove the bulk of litter using the shovel and then sweep out the rest with a brush and pan, and then using a scraper remove any necessary stubborn bits. Sweep out. Mix up Poultry Safeguard Concentrate to the correct dilution (see instructions on the bottle) and spray onto dry timbers. For residual red mite control, we recommend using Appletons De-Mite Powder in your hen house regularly. If your hen house smells bad and attracts flies, something is not working. A chook house should have no odour and be a sweet-smelling home for your chooks. How to Clean an Omlet Chicken CoopEmpty the dropping tray regularly (daily if you prefer or weekly) and replace with a thin layer of fresh wood shavings. Once a month, we recommend cleaning the roosting bars and droppings tray and cleaning out the nest box. Washing the plastic trays and bars is recommended. This is a good time to check for red mite and other creepy crawlies! For residual control, dust roosting bars, perch rails and nest box bedding with Appletons De-Mite Powder. Every 3 to 6 months we recommend giving your eglu a thorough clean from top to toe. We use a water blaster for this, set on a wide-angle nozzle. Poultry Safeguard used at its maintenance dose works well. Please rinse well with potable water. Your Egu should look as good as new after it's clean! ℹ️ Learn more FACT SHEET: Chicken Health – Mites - understand red mite behaviour, signs of infestation, and how to treat your flock Chicken Health 101 - a complete guide to keeping your flock healthy Blog: Red Mite in Poultry Housing 😡 What To Do - practical steps for tackling a red mite infestation Blog: Dissecting Diatomaceous Earth - how diatomaceous earth works and why it's effective against mites Blog: Make Your Chicken Coop Easy To Clean - tips and tricks for a low-maintenance coop cleaning routine Shop Red Mite and Coop Care Products - browse our full range of coop cleaning and mite control products

    Wood Shavings | Bedding

    53 reviews

    Reap the benefits of using untreated wood shavings in chicken housing. Ideal for raising chicks and for use in nesting boxes, wood shavings are the best choice for a deep litter system. We recommend them over wood chips or sawdust because shavings are soft, fluffy curls of timber rather than dusty particles that can clog or hard, sharp chips. Deep litter refers to the loose, dry layer of material—ideally wood shavings—spread over a dry plywood floor in the hen house. When combined with chicken manure and topped up with fresh wood shavings as needed, deep litter usually only needs to be removed every 6 to 12 months. If maintained properly, it stays odour-free and breaks down into rich compost without added weeds when added to the compost bin. We do not recommend hay or straw for deep litter systems because they absorb moisture less effectively and may carry mould or fungal spores that can affect the respiratory health of pets and people. Available in 4 sizes: Small Box - App. 40L(Pick Up or Courier Size)Top-quality, 100% NZ Produced Natural Pine Shavings. Super absorbent and odour reducing.

    Poultry Shell Grit | Appletons

    19 reviews

    Yes, we recommend giving shell grit to your hens! We feed out Weston Layer Pellets to our laying birds and the soluble calcium levels in this commercial feed are adequate for egg production with sound shells. However, for those birds that are in enclosed runs and do not have access to large areas of free range, we provide shell grit separately. Shell grit has 3 benefits over the soluble limestone they add in the feed. The hard shell bits act as teeth in the gizzard to assist in grinding up the feed and aids digestion. The intake of calcium from the shells helps strengthen the shell of the chicken eggs. Plus trace elements from the sea will be beneficial to their diet At Appletons, we fill a small pot planter (or an old pottery dish with a hole in it) secured by a wire stake in the ground (so the birds don't knock it over!) with our fine shell grit. Don't forget to line it with some weed mat to contain the grit so it does not all wash out! Available in a 2kg or a 5kg bag. Grit for Younger Birds? If your chicks are being fed a complete chick crumble from day one through to point of lay, you usually won’t need to add grit to their diet. If you start offering treats or greens from around 3 to 4 weeks of age, we recommend providing a calcium-free insoluble stone grit to help support healthy digestion. Avoid shell grit at this stage, as the extra calcium can be harmful to young chicks’ kidneys. Choose a fine, clean, local insoluble grit option. In New Zealand, many backyard poultry keepers use coarse river sand, coarse grit, or small crushed pea metal once young birds begin eating grains, seeds, treats, and mealworms. Another simple DIY option is to offer a small bowl of ‘garden’ dirt or provide a small dust bath bowl in the brooder. They will love this! As the chicks peck through the soil, they naturally pick up tiny insoluble particles and sand that can help their gizzards process food. ℹ️ Learn more Blog: Why Are My Hens Not Laying? 🥚 - explore the common reasons hens stop laying and how to help Chicken Health 101 - a complete guide to keeping your flock healthy

  • An essential digestive aid for all poultry and seed eating birds. NZ oyster shell fine grit for hens and other seed eating birds

    NZ Oyster Shell Fine Grit | Topflite

    Yes, we recommend giving shell grit to your hens and all seed-eating birds! We feed out Weston Layer Pellets to our laying birds, and the soluble calcium levels in this commercial feed are adequate for egg production with sound shells. However, for those birds that are in enclosed runs and do not have access to large areas of free range, we provide insoluble shell grit separately.  The insoluble grit sits in the bird's crop for a sustained length of time, aiding in digestion, as well as giving 'slow-release' calcium, thus aiding in the production of good quality egg shells. Birds self-regulate their own grit intake as they require it. Plus, trace elements from the sea will be beneficial to their diet. Suitable only for POL pullets and all laying hens. At Appletons, we fill a small pot planter (or an old pottery dish with a hole in it) secured with a wire stake in the ground (so the birds don't knock it over!) with our fine shell grit. Don't forget to line it with weed mat to contain the grit so it does not all wash out! Ingredients: 100% crushed New Zealand oyster shell grit.

  • Ideal for using for chicks and young pullets to aid digestion if they have access to greens and treats. Add insoluble chick grit if offering greens treats and mealworms to young chicks

    Chick Grit | Insoluble Clean Fine Sand

    Insoluble grit for young chicks. Here is some important information regarding when chicks need grit and how to provide it safely. Starter feed only: Chicks do not need grit if they eat only standard commercial starter crumbles or mash, as this feed breaks down easily without it. Added treats or greens: As soon as you offer bugs, scratch, veggies, or cooked eggs, they need tiny insoluble grit to help their gizzards grind the food. Use the right size: Only use fine, chick-sized grit or clean, fine sand (like playground or river sand). Never use large adult poultry grit. Avoid calcium grit: Do not use shell grit or anything with added calcium for young chicks, as excess calcium can harm their kidneys. Do not overfeed: Place the sand or grit in a separate bowl. Remove it if you notice the chicks gorging on it instead of eating their regular food. ℹ️ Learn more Blog: Why Are My Hens Not Laying? 🥚 - explore the common reasons hens stop laying and how to help Chicken Health 101 - a complete guide to keeping your flock healthy

  • Weston Chook Grow 25kg Weston Chook Grow Real Proteins

    Chook Grow Pellets 25kg | Weston

    For pullets being reared for table egg production. A formulation with essential nutrients of protein, energy and minerals in readiness for a healthy, productive laying life. Chook Grow is a complete feed formulated as a follow-on feed from Weston Chicks Choice. At Appletons we prefer to grow our birds (both commercial hybrids and heritage) on to point of lay using the Weston Chicks Choice as it has higher levels of protein essential for health, growth and feather production. Chickens do not stop growing at 8 weeks. We would only recommend swopping over to Chook Grow if you personally had issues with the coccidiostat added to the Chicks Choice or are feeding a range of ages of poultry together in one pen and you have laying hens that have access to the same feed. Chook Grow does not contain any coccidiostat (which the Chicks Choice does) There is a 3 to 4% difference in the protein levels which we feel is significant – so if you can keep them on the Chicks Choice then that is what we recommend. Analysis: 15% crude protein, 3% fat, 4% fibre, 1% salt Weston Milling Stockfeed has the point of difference over most other brands as it is the only commercial poultry feed (here on the South Island) that contains quality ruminant proteins. We see the results in our poultry every day and it is good to hear the positive feedback from our customers once they start using Weston Milling poultry feed. Please note we do not usually keep Chook Grow in stock at our store. If you would like a bag please let us know we will need a week to order it in. Thank you.

Sprouted seeds boost available nutrients. New Zealand grown sunflower seeds. Suitable for medium and larger birds (cockatiels to macaws). Source of essential amino acids and antioxidants.
