There will be occasional days where that's not an option for me, so the self-closing feeder seemed like a better option. I definitely don't want to have too much feed laying around in general. A lot of the comments I'm getting seem to indicate that there's something wrong with buying stuff...

My run has a roof, so the tarps/clips/ties are for the sides to roll down in bad weather -- and winterization is 100% necessary here. I have no problem starting to save and reuse containers, I just don't have any of that right now. Thank you for the note on the dust bath, I wasn't really...

I'm sure you're correct about all of this, but I'm not in any way a DIY person. It seems like there's a majority of chicken folks on here who prefer to make these things themselves, but that's not the way I want to do this. Scrap wood, old buckets... nope, none of that here. Dry leaves I can...

Good to hear positive experiences with the metal bins -- I have high hopes that they'll do the trick. Thank you for the note on the tarps, I definitely need to figure out a way to secure them really really well (windy here). Securing with a board setup might do it. I was going to do a mix of...

My vet specializes in poultry, so I would hope so. My other feeders aren't going to house chicken feed, they're for oyster shell and grit. Injuries are a concern I hadn't hear about -- how are the chickens injured by it? Is there a way to prevent this?

That's... what I did. This list wasn't born out of nothing, it's from MONTHS of research right here. Every product on my listed has a specific use.

As I said in my post, this is a shopping list NOT an Amazon list. I buy as much as possible locally, at better prices. I'm not buying any of the organic stuff online! My own vet recommended having VetRx on hand, so I'm unclear on the snake oil comment. Does it legitimately do nothing at all...

As I said, I'm not buying the feed online. And I definitely can't use open bowls for feed, we have too many pests and predators here. This is for pullets, no chicks here.

Maybe this is a weird request, but I'm getting ready to shop for a bunch of my chicken necessities (pullets come home first week of April) to begin chicken ownership, and I would so appreciate a review of my shopping list! Comments are next to items in case their purpose is unclear. A couple...
