"Something new, so the chickens in the run had to get used to it for a bit, but once that was done, they were eagerly dust bathing." — Ineke N., verified review
Why choose Shell Bathing Sand with Anise?
- Stimulates natural behaviour — chickens love to dig and wade in the sand to remove dirt and excess grease from their feathers
- Rich in calcium — the shell base supports good digestion and contributes to strong bones and eggshells
- Fresh anise scent — for a pleasant-smelling dust bath
- Heat-treated — heated and dried, making it free from bacteria
Do you want to add targeted protection against red mites?
A dust bath supports the overall hygiene of your chickens, but this shell sand itself does not contain an active agent against red mites. For targeted protection, mix the sand with diatomaceous earth or another recognised pest control agent from our Pest Control collection.

Iets nieuws, dus de autisten in de ren moesten er even aan wennen, maar toen dat eenmaal gedaan was, werd er driftig gezandbadderd.
Dank je wel, Ineke! Leuk om te horen dat de kippen het zandbadje snel accepteerden. Fijn dat je tevreden bent!
kipjes zijn blij!
