Play Sand for Dust Baths, 15 Litre bag

Melcourt Playsand is a washed and screened silica play sand that is a great idea to use in dust baths for your chickens (as well as children's sandpits of course!).

Note: 15 Litres by volume will weigh approx 20kg - this depends on how damp the sand is when bagged so a definitive weight cannot be given, it is a guide. At certain times of year the sand can be damp/wet but it will quickly dry out once opened to the air will provide a nice dry dustbath.

Benefits of using this Play Sand for Chickens include:

• Pre-washed, preventing staining and marking of feathers
• Rapid drainage during wet weather allows dustbathing all year round
• Hostile living environment for pests such as lice and mites
• Nominal Particle Size Range: 0.25-0.50 mm.
• Bagged by Melcourt Landscape Ltd.
• Sold in 15 litre plastic sacks, approx weight 20kg (note: hence carriage charge almost the same as product price).
