When you add it all up, it's not chicken feed. Except for the chicken feed, obviously. Here's what we've bought:
Chicken coop: £200
Chickens: £10
Chicken feeder and water tray: £8.25
2 x metal dustbins: £35.00
Grit with Oyster shell: £4.00
Small shovel: £2.00
Bucket: £2.00
Stiff brush: £2.00

Wormer feed: £15.00
Paint: £30.00
Rubber gloves: £2.00
Total: £446.25
£309.25 is on equipment, which should last long term. We spent a lot of money on the coop because we wanted a nice one, this would be possible to do much cheaper if we wanted.
£127 is for consumables. Some of this is in large quantities and should last quite a while, other bits will be a regular spend.
The coop arrives today, so hopefully I'll have some pics to share tomorrow.
How lovely though - worth the money! Pets that can give you food too!
