Testimonials
29th Sep 2009
Thanks so much for the Kill, Pluck, Gut and Bone course yesterday Alison.
My reluctant husband Steve admitted that he really enjoyed it and we both now feel much more confident in having chickens again now we know how to deal with them at the end, and may raise some table birds too.
Thanks for everything - you made a gruesome topic both manageable and fun!

Dear Alison

I thought you might like an update on the chicks, who are doing very well! They are really big now, especially their feet, and are growing lovely wings and tails. They love to perch on the edge of the brooder and watch what’s going on in the classroom (see attached photo) and they eat and drink a lot. I am leaving the light off more and more as they were getting quite hot and panting. I’ve been turning it on at night though. They seem comfortable with this arrangement, so if you think it’s ok then I’ll carry on like that.

Incubator Hire Broody Disaster

We have basic incubators which don’t have the high visibility factor of the ones we hire to homes and schools. These are cheaper to hire and are intended for people who want to hatch eggs, but don’t need to see the chicks hatch. They are also for people who need an incubator in an emergency, where a broody has abandoned her eggs, for example.
These incubators are priced to be collected and returned by the hirer.
We will supply:
INCUBATOR PACK
- • Incubator – fully automatic
- • Candle Lamp
- • Instruction sheet
- • Support and advice if needed
COST OF HIRE
- 1. Incubator, candle lamp: £24 for three week, £36 for four weeks.
- 2. Instruction sheet is hired free of charge.
- 3. There is a brooder hire available. Brooder hire is £12 per week.
Deposit required
1. Incubator : £200
2. The Brooder deposit will be covered by the incubator deposit.
The deposit can be paid by cash or cheque and will be returned in full upon the safe collection of the latter of the incubator or brooder.
DISCLAIMER
Whilst we make every effort to supply fertile eggs, there is no guarantee that all the eggs will hatch.

Bridgetown Primary School
Bridgetown Primary School in Stratford upon Avon had an incubator on one week hire and a brooder for a week just before Easter 2010. They set up a webcam on the incubator and encouraged the children to take photos and have put the footage and photos on their website. Click on the link to see their school website to see the excitement the chicks generated!

2. Second hand hutch that is £45, giving a good saving on the new price of £99. It is in very good condition.
