Chicken supplies (online)

[hsm5grls]

What is your favorite source online for chicken supplies? I am looking for D.E. , incubator, and a source for meds. like antibiotics and such to build up my chicken first aide kit. The feed stores around here suck so my best bet is online. Any suggestions?

I get most of my stuff from eggcartons.com , but DE I've gotten from Dirtworks.net . I bought an antibiotic (water-soluble terramycin) at TSC, but if you can only shop online, then maybe Double R Supply .

I don't know of an online source for DE,someone else might know. Jeffers has incubators, but you may want to shop around.
Good luck

No tractor supply here

only a crummy stinky feed store that sold me chicken scratch with bugs in it. So online it must be. I get chicken food from walmart but the other stuff has to be online. thank you for the sites I am gonna check them out right now.

Wow, the Walmart in your area carries chicken food? That would make life easier. I have to drive over 30 miles away (Rural King) to get the cheapest chicken food. They sell scratch & oyster shell, bales of wood shavings but not grit, DE, and hardly any emergency supplies. It's frustrating! There is a small feed store in my area that carries a few chicken supplies. The chicken food there is about 4 $$$ more, but they do carry the grit. I've got to order the DE online also. Thanks for starting this thread.

If you're looking for a simple Hovabator, Jeffer's has the best price (and free shipping!) online. That's where I got mine...I got a circulated air one but w/no turner for about $70-ish. I think it would have been in the $100 range with the automatic turner. I did a lot of research online before I bought mine, and unless you find a deal on eBay I think Jeffers is about as good as it's going to get.

I don't believe they carry DE. But they may have most of the other stuff you need, I think they carry a lot of meds. And you can't beat their customer service...I bought a $300 pair of heavy duty electric clippers to body clip my horses, and they blew up the first time I used them. I thought it would be a huge hassle to return them, figured they'd probably make me deal directly with Oster. Nope, I called and got a REAL person when I called, on a Sunday no less, and had a new pair on my doorstep 3 days later.

Anyway, I really like Jeffers for online supplies when I can't get things locally. But I'm lucky to have a good, independently owned feed store in my area and I of course support them whenever I can.
