Der einfache Weg, um den Kauf der falschen Ausrüstung zu vermeiden
Start with a kit?
The simple way to avoid buying the wrong equipment. When you are new to chickens, it is easy to buy products that are too small, too messy or difficult to clean. Our starter essentials are selected to help you build a practical daily routine from the beginning.
Eine gute Startausstattung sollte dir helfen:
- Das Wasser bleibt länger sauber
- Futterverschwendung reduzieren
- Das Nachfüllen und Reinigen vereinfachen
- Sorgen Sie dafür, dass die Nistplätze gemütlich sind
- Entwickeln Sie eine einfache Hygieneroutine

Choose by flock size
Not sure which setup is right for you? Use this guide to choose the right starter equipment based on the size of your flock.
- 2–4 hens: Best for small garden and first-time keepers. Focus on simple equipment, easy cleaning and low daily maintenance.
- 5–8 hens: Best for growing hobby flocks. Choose larger water and feed capacity to reduce refilling.
- 9–12 hens: Best for keepers who want more capacity and a more robust daily system.
Add-on suggestions
Once the basics are covered, consider adding:
- hygiene products,
- grit or oyster shell,
- nesting herbs and
- red mite prevention.
These products help support a cleaner, more comfortable coop.
Frequently asked questions
What should every beginner chicken kit include?
A beginner kit should include a feeder, drinker,
nesting basics and hygiene products. Your coop, run and feed should be prepared before the hens arrive.
How big should my feeder and drinker be?
It depends on flock size and how often you want to refill your feeder or drinker. Small flocks can use smaller systems, but larger capacity is useful if you want cleaner and easier daily care on your feeder or drinker.
Can I buy products separately instead of a kit?
Yes. Kits are designed to make your choosing easier, but
you can also shop for feeders, drinkers, nesting products and hygiene items
individually.
