Post by: susan - happy hens on June 25, 2010, 11:37
Hi, I,m just outside Carrickfergus and checking online to buy Poultry Shield etc but the postage charges are so high.  Does anyone know of a local supplier?Thanks.

Hi Susan, I live in Omagh and can't get poultry shield here either.  It is almost as much to pay for postage as for the cost of the poultry shield etc.  It really annoys me that we get charged extra postage for NI when it doesn't cost any more than sending it in UK apart from when it goes by courier.  I am going to visit my daughter in July and will be buying some and bringing it back in my suitcase :)
Have just re read your post - The Fane Valley group have opened about 10 agri stores in NI - they have some products - Flubenvet, poultry spice and other brands of red mite etc liquid and some powders.  They also sell drinkers and feeders.  Also, some of the bigger pet shops have started selling chicken products.  The only problem is, I see everyone mention poultry shield, diatom and stanoslan F etc and those I cannot find any stockists over here.  I ended up having an order posted to a friend in Norfolk and she brought them with her when she came over (I didn't get the poultry shield though) but given the option I would now.
