retired Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 im only paying £8.60 a bail i think ( dont let them know its cheap lol ) I looked at becoming the agent for it locally i still might do yet as the actual cost involved buying bulk is peanuts compared to even what you are paying there is a very high mark up on it
OLDYELLOW Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 i bet theres a high mark up on it its about £2 dearer than easibed , but worth the extra

wilkins Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 how long does it last? i was told that a true working deep litter never needs to be changed by a old fancier some years ago, he aid it takes a good while for the dropping to be brokern down but when it works correctly it prevents cocci etc any no if he was correct
retired Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 The Hemcore i have down in the stock loft (without grills) has been down for nearly 12 months and is in excellent clean condition. I just took it from under the grills after 15 months also in good nick. With regard to Deep Litter in general i know Geoff Clare had his deep litter down in his stock loft for at least 8 years up to him moving and if he hadnt moved it would still be there now! His stock loft never ailed
OLDYELLOW Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 i dont know at preventing anything , but i suppose they'll become more immune to infections by having it in , deep litter if looked after will last alot of time if you keep turning it over and sprinkling stalosan f or loft white on it every now and again to keep it smelling sweet as long as its dry you wont get smell , i always thought deep litter was for lazy people but it does keep my birds in good nick with clean feet so i can see the benifit for both fancier and pigeon
