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).

Bathing material

First time I've purchased this. I was hopeful it would be dry when opened but no luck. Seems to take ages to dry out.

Play bark and Play sand

Faultless service. First time using bark and sand
My girls gave the bark their seal of approval straight away. The sand was damp but that's to be expected as most bagged sand is. I'm sure they will use it once it drys out.
