Alex Clark Art - the chicken lady



The chicken lady card by Alex Clark. Ideal for your chicken keeping friends.

Get Ready for winter





With snow forecast for later this month it's now time to make sure your snow shovel is ready - remember, once we have snow deliveries may be delayed.








Our red plastic shovel is ideal for clearing compacted snow and spreading grit. We supplied these to many schools and airports last winter. The tough single peice plastic design makes them almost un breakable.






Our wooden and plastic snow shovel is great for quickly dealing with fresh snow. The large scooped shovel makes light work of clearing paths and driveways.

Brinsea incubators


Brinsea Mini Starter Pack



The Starter Pack 1 includes:

Mini Eco Incubator - this is a fan assisted manual turn egg incubator holding up to 10 hens eggs or equivalent. The combination of proven electronic temperature control, fan assistance, carefully directed airflow and a specially made glass thermometer result in a machine which is deceptively sophisticated yet extremely easy to use. The high quality clear top allows you to see every second of an egg hatching from every angle. The Mini ECO is covered by Brinsea's free 2 year quarantee (just follow the user instructions to register online).

OvaView candling lamp - a very effective low cost all purpose candling lamp ideal for indentifying infertile eggs with pale, plain shells (most species of hen, duck or goose etc.) The OvaView is battery powered for convenience and uses high output, high efficiency LED illumination - so no bulbs to replace or concerns about overheating the eggs during inspection. See your chicks develop inside the egg!

EcoGlow brooder - The EcoGlow chick brooder is ideal for keeping newly hatched poultry, game and waterfowl warm. The EcoGlow has three height settings for different sized chicks and its tough plastic construction makes it durable and easy to clean. It is designed to meet the stringent IPX7 electrical safety standard. The EcoGlow runs from a 12v power source for complete peace of mind and uses just 18 Watts of power to keep up to twenty chicks warm.

Also included in Starter Pack 1 - a feed trough, a drinker and disinfectant.

Starter Pack 1 comes with full instructions, and is extremely simple to use!

Brinsea Incubators added to our range


Brinsea Mini Eco Incubator



Brinsea's Mini ECO incubator is a fan assisted manual turn egg incubator holding up to 10 hens eggs or equivalent. The combination of proven electronic temperature control, fan assistance, carefully directed airflow and a specially made glass thermometer result in a machine which is deceptively sophisticated yet extremely easy to use. The Mini ECO comes factory set to the commonest incubation temperature but this can be adjusted if necessary. The high quality clear top allows you to see every second of an egg hatching from every angle. The Mini ECO is covered by Brinsea's free 2 year quarantee (just follow the user instructions to register online).

The Brinsea Mini ECO and Mini ADVANCE incubators are designed to be used by children as well as adults but they are not toys and children should only use them under adult supervision. Both models run from 12v for safety and are supplied with a mains power adaptor.

Please note: It is NOT possible to upgrade the Mini Eco and Mini Advance to become a Mini Advance EX as the control systems for each machine are different and they are not compatible with each other.

IMPORTANT:- After hatching, the smallest chicks (e.g. quail) can be at risk from drowning in the water pots. It is advised that small pebbles or marbles are placed in each water pot before hatching to reduce this risk. This will not reduce the evaporation of the water if the level is maintained to just above the pebbles
