Here are some supplies that you will need to prepare your coop for your chickens
EXTRAS
Here are some additional products that are not necessarily must-haves, but they will make things a lot easier. I love these products.
Water Treatment
I love this product. It’s all natural and safe to use. I have a very large water container that tends to get a lot of algae build up in the summer. This product uses natural enzymes to keep the water bacteria free, clean and safe for your chickes to drink so you don’t have to change out the water every day.
Protective Chicken Vest
There’s always that one poor hen at the bottom of the pecking order that ends up getting beat up on and has missing feathers. You can use one of these to help protect them and give their feathers a chance to grow back in.
Nesting Pads
These pads make cleaning out your nesting boxes or brooder box a breeze. To change out, just throw them in your compost pile and replace.
Nesting Herbs
Sprinkle these around your coop and in your nesting boxes. It is safe and healthy for your chickens to eat, it helps them stay calm and it helps deter some predators.
Hanging Feeder
You can hang fruit and veggies from this feeder. My chickens love it. It keeps them busy and may help if you have any issues with them pecking each other.
Misting System for Hot Days
This is an inexpensive and effective way to help keep your chickens cool on very hot days. This could save the life of an overheated chicken.
