ANYONE know where to buy diatomaceous earth in melbourne? Does pet produce stores or bunnings sell it?

I would try your local produce store I have never used it myself but the man next door to me takes it in water to help his m.s. (Food grade.)

If you go to Bunnings, I bet 100% they will only have industrial/ pool grade DE. Make sure it's food grade (as well have all said now.lol.).
I got my DE from the local feed store.

I know where you can get it and other medications online. I just bought a few things from here yesterday. http://planetpoultry.com.au/38-preventative-treatments But i have a question Does anyone know where to buy vetericyn all animal wound & skin care spray online? I haven't seen it in shops & can't find a place online that will ship to australia that doesn't cost around $40 for postage. I did find one with free postage on eBay but it said as the buyer it was my responsibility to know if it was ok for customs (no idea!). If not, is there any similiar products for sale here in any online australian shops? I've heard great things but just cant get my hands on it!
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a broody hen sitting on 4 eggs from my flock but none are fertile, I think my roo Ollie is shooting blanks. I'm after someone who has either day old chicks or eggs in an incubator that are at about day 17. I'm in Victoria near kyneton and Daylesford.

Can anyone help? Happy to pay. I can't have my broody girl go all this time with no results

SWEETBEAK : good luck I only have the three at the moment but try the Farm in gisborne?
You never know

Can I ask what you all use for dirt pens. I have sand inside which is working really well, outside the pen is dirt. I was told to add the hydrated lime from the local produce store which I did.. But now I'm reading all sorts of things about it! What else is there on the market in Aus? That's more safe, natural?? To lay over the dirt?
Cheers

If you are just looking for something to keep them busy , i throw all my garden clippings , vege scraps and hay . Last year we put 20 bales in one run and they ploughed it over till you can no longer see the hay. This article is a good one.
