Bedding and Nesting Boxes »
Nesting boxes are an important part of setting up your chicken coop. Boxes should be filled with a bedding material such as straw or sawdust which should be kept dry and replaced regularly. You should also treat the nesting boxes for mites and lice to ensure complete parasite control. Placing fake eggs into a nesting box encourages hens to lay in that nesting box rather than laying in a hard-to-find spot.
At Gleam O Dawn, we have both single and double pre-made nesting boxes along with a range of straw or sawdust to use as their bedding. We have a wide range of products, including chemical-free and natural, to reduce the risk of lice and mite infestation.
Chook Health »
Chooks are susceptible to a range of health issues from skin conditions to diseases. Like all animals, worms can make chooks quite sick if not dealt with and can and affect their overall health in a significant way.
Chooks don’t wash themselves with water the way we do. To keep themselves clean and healthy, they need to take dust baths regularly. Not only is this something that they thoroughly enjoy, it also minimizes the chance of them carrying mite and lice.
To reduce the risk of mite and lice infestation in your flock, there are many products at Gleam O Dawn that will help you best care for your chooks and keep them happy and healthy. From liquid to tablet form we also have a number of products to treat and prevent your chooks against worms. Remember to pop in and chat to one of our knowledgeable staff at any time for advice.
