Designed for clean eggs and healthy soil. Chicken Caravan was started by a 24 year old Daniel OBrien who needed some moveable chicken sheds for his new adventure into free range egg farming. With the help of a friend Daniel put pen to paper and started designing a shed. Daniel and a mate built the first mobile chicken house in a small machinery shed at his parents house. Three years on, the egg fa

rm was bought out by Daniel’s business partners. The business is still trading successfully today, while Daniel and his wife Jodi continue to sell Chicken Caravans world wide. Read the full story here: www.chickencaravan.com

Ever wonder why your chickens flap around in dirt? It might look like they’re just making a mess, but dust bathing is actually a vital part of chicken healthcare.
Here are the top benefits:

Reduce Mites and Lice
By vigorously kicking fine dust into their feathers, chickens create a dry environment that suffocates and dislodges external parasites like mites and lice. It’s their first line of defence against the creepy-crawlies that want to hitch a ride.

Helps to Clean Feathers
It sounds counterintuitive to get dirty to get clean, but the dust actually absorbs excess oils and stale secretions from the preen gland. Once they shake it all off, those feathers are left light, fluffy, and perfectly primed for insulation and flight.

Keeps Skin Healthy
The abrasive nature of the soil acts as a gentle exfoliant. It helps slough off dead skin cells (which some mites and lice love) and prevents the build up of moisture against the skin, which can lead to fungal issues.

Helps to Regulate Temperature
On a scorching afternoon, chickens will dig down into the earth to reach the cool, damp soil beneath the surface. Lounging in these fresh "craters" helps them dump excess body heat and stay chill when the sun is high.

Social Club
Dust bathing is rarely a solo sport. You’ll often see several hens piled into the same hole, wings flapping and clucking softly. Not enough space for everyone? Watch the pecking order emerge.

And let's face it......its quite entertaining to watch them!

Optional Extras:
○ Ni**le Drinker System
