Brooding
Brinsea Eco Glow brooder
This is the future of brooding.
Heat lamps have now been discontinued by this global leader in incubation and brooding, in favour of the safer, and cheaper, heat pad technology.
The brooder stands in the brooding enclosure with the chicks and has three height settings, so it can be raised up as the chicks grow. It’s tough plastic outer makes it durable and easy to clean - always a bonus where chicks are involved!
Each brooder will brood up to 20 chicks and runs on only 18 watts of power - which is extraordinarily economical when you compare it to the minimum 150W emitters usually used in brooding lamps. It also runs on a low 12v circuit, through an transformer, for peace of mind.
A huge step forward in brooding facilities and recommended by Malvern Poultry.

Brinsea EcoGlow 50
The EcoGlow 20 brooder has been a phenomenal success and people don’t go back to heat lamps having tried out this new safer, cheaper to buy and more economical to run technology.
But it has proven to be a little small for some of us, so Brinsea have stepped up with this, the 50 chick model.
The heat pad style brooder stands in the brooding enclosure with the chicks and has three height settings, so it can be raised up as the chicks grow. It can be adjusted to cater for all sizes of chicks including geese.
It’s tough plastic outer makes it durable and easy to clean - always a bonus where chicks are involved!

At only $169 each we have priced these to get you set up for the season without worrying the bank manager too much!

Cosy Lamp chick brooder, including chick enclosure panels
This is a neat and tidy chick raising option!
A clear plastic tent fitted with standard light bulbs ensures that drafts are reduced and you can easily see what is going on.
The chicks can move in and out of the unit as they regulate their own body temperature and are contained by the enclosure panels supplied with it.
These are a set of plastic panels which slot together to contain your brood.
This unit is suitable for anything from a couple to up to about fifty chooks and is also fine for other poultry such as ducklings, pheasants, quail etc.
However, do consider what you are going to do as the chicks get older, and bigger.
