We believe success starts with the right setup
 

We have spent years rigorously testing various poultry tools, housing, and accessories. Here, we openly share the exact gear that has earned our trust and delivered consistent results season after season. 

The items listed below are frequently available for less on second-hand platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, and Preloved.
IMPORTANT: When purchasing a second-hand incubator or heat source, ask the seller to turn it on an hour before your arrival. This allows the item to reach full temperature so you can verify it holds heat correctly.

Candling Equipment

Chinese Painted eggs are easily candled using a medical pen torch

Non-Slip Matting

This matting can be used in both the incubator & the brooder. It can also be washed an reused.

Sticky note with Brooder

Large Ferplast rabbit cages are fantastic at keeping mess contained when brooding ducks

Heat Source note

Purchasing the EcoGlow 1200 via Strangford Incubators' eBay page, you will receive a free heat plate cover.

Sticky note: Housing

Bluebell hutches make fantastic quail pens after some adjustments.
Plastic playhouses are great for ducks as they are waterproof & for chickens they're much easier to handle red mite issues.

Bedding & Substrate

All bedding and substrate listed, we use across all of our birds. We purchase all of our bedding from The Feed Warehouse (Co.Durham).

Ask your local farm feed/ equine store for a stock list & collection prices.
Collecting feed locally will always be cheaper.
