Water freshner
Pros: Keeps large chicken water clear, no slime
We've used it for years and am very happy with it keeping our large chicken waterers clean from slime and algae. It only takes a small amount so a bottle lasts a long time.

Interesting
Great prevention for mites, ants, and pretty much every bug
Pros: Keeps our coop mite-free for many years.
Cons: If using outdoors, need to redo it every time it rains.
I've used it for over 20 years in our two macaw parrot cages to keep fruit flies and pantry moths at bay. Since we got chickens 8 years ago, we've used it religiously every month. I use an old parmesan cheese container as a sprinkler and do the floor and nest boxes.

When we get ants a couple of times a year in the summer, I go around the house with it, and after a day, no more ants.
Work great for ferment.
Pros: Chickens can't scratch and tip them over. They are almost indestructible. Clean-up is a breeze. Dishwasher and freezer safe.
I wouldn't be without them now that I'm so used to them. They prevent waste as the chickens can't knock them over. They will just eat from them.

I bought a second set two years after the first, and I can't tell a difference. They don't wear out or lose color.

AC Infinity Digital Exhaust Fan
Pros: Easy to install, does the job well
Cons: Hated to spend so much on a chicken coop, but we needed more ventilation and this was the answer.
Easy to install. Directions are a bit difficult at first but we caught on. It has a phone app but we pretty much don't change the settings too often. It definitely helps keep the coop cooler in the summer and the humidity down year-round.

Unless I missed it, Amazon does not have a weight for this fan. Using a converted vinyl shed and need to consider weight when I mount things to the walls. Any idea?

Sorry I just saw your question. I asked hubby and he said it was light, maybe a couple of lbs but no more.
Have used this in the past with good results
Pros: Chicks thrived on it.
I started using this with shipped-in chicks or chicks that were hatched elsewhere and brought here. It was good and they liked it.

I later switched to Kalbach's version as this was out of stock at both Walmart and TSC.

I don't use medicated with chicks I hatch but always do if they are imported here whichever way for their first couple of weeks. I switch to reg when I can start getting them outside.
Convenient
Pros: Good as a dual-purpose preventative. For summer or stress, and supplement for chicks.
Simplifies supplementing young chicks by putting this product in their water one day, then plain water the next.
