Many customers are now taking advantage of the new larger sizes available for the Ark Maid and Red Mite Powder. These products now come in resealable buckets. The Red Mite Powder is available in 2kg and 5kg buckets and the Ark Maid is in 5kg and 11.5kg buckets.
These buckets are great for those who are looking to stock up on these little essentials but do not want to be purchasing vast amounts of the smaller tubs, and want to save money at the same time.

When cleaning your house sprinkle the floor of the chicken house with Ark Maid before putting the fresh bedding down and next time when you come to clean you will notice that the bedding will come away with ease and the not-so-lovely ammonia smell will be kept to a minimal.

The Red Mite powder is a deterrant and once you have put your bedding in the house sprinkle the powder around the perches and in the nest box and also a bit on top of the bedding. It is important to sprinkle the powder and not put in down in clumps. This powder will then kill any Red Mites which may choose to venture into the house.

Of course, if you only want a small amount, the smaller tubs are still available, giving you as many options as possible

Hello Everyone

I hope you have all recovered from Christmas and New Year, knowing that the longest month in the year, salary wise, is almost to a close To help lighten the load we have put the RCOM Suro Incubator on Special offer for this month down to £157.49. I am not sure how long the offer is on for, however it is well worth considering, knowing that as soon as we get into February people will start thinking about spring and the new Incubating season.

Well there are only 3 sleeps left until the big day
I can imagine that children (both big and small) are getting rather excited by now, hoping that they have done enough to secure a visit from Father Christmas.

I am finally all ready (except for locating some Candy Cane for my tree, that is) and thought it a good time to say Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and more importantly, thank you to all our customers in 2011. We sincerely hope that everyone has a peaceful and joyful time.

I hope that 2011 has been a good year and that 2012 will be just as good.

Just a reminder that as a thank you to our customers, between now and Christmas, we are giving a free gift with every order over £100.
For the Jersey Giant, Cochin and Brahma Chicken Houses this is a free Verm-X wormer.

We know that everyone is thinking about their hard earned money a little bit more this year and this is our way of saying thank you and Merry Chirstmas

Hello Everyone

Not to worry everyone out there, but the count down is on and Christmas is fast approaching. In 10 days time the lucky ones will be anticipating their dinners, whilst quite a lot of us will be in the kitchen hovering over the oven making sure everything is still to time

If you are still looking for Christmas presents to buy then our range of Chicken Houses and RCOM Incubators are in stock so are sent out on 24hr delivery.

We have been advised by our couriers that the last date for a pre-Christmas delivery is Wednesday the 21st December 2011.
If you are struggling for ideas, or not sure which item most suitable then you can always give us a call.

Can you believe that we are almost in December? I’m sure I say it every year but I cannot believe how quickly time flies.

This does mean that the cracking deal on the RCOM Suro, Manual turn Incubator is coming to a close though. This incubator controls the temerature and the humidity for your so all you need to do is turn the eggs.
Most incubators do this hourly however if you are manually turning eggs then a minimum of 3 times a day is fine.
The incubator is only £119.99 and has all the other same great features as the RCOM Suro Incubator, just without the turning cradle and the tray dividers, so is a brilliant way to get yourself off the ground and running if you want a little more incubator for a little less money.

When turning your eggs turn one way then turn back so you do not turn the same way twice - this is highly important. Sometimes it is also easier to mark your eggs so you know which ones you have turned.

If you are looking for an incubator as a present and want to make sure you pick the right one then we are always here to help. Also if you want your item double boxed so you cannot tell what is inside just let us know, as we know how nosey our nearest and dearest can get this time of year, lol

Just a quick Rhea Update

The rheas are now only a bit shorter than I am and although they don’t know it yet, they are about to be re-homed into a what will be their perminant home - which opens out onto an acre of land.

It’s quite amazing how quickly they have shot up and although they are not yet fully grown thier strength is unbelievable - Mr Fox will definately think twice, which is not a bad thing
The only other thing which crosses all of our minds here is the actual move. I’m sure it will take a lot of planning, patience and not forgetting manpower. We are always up for a challenge and I’m sure the Rheas will provide an afternoon full

Hello peeps

We have had a few requests of late for Gift Vouchers (yep, Christmas is coming up rather quickly now). If you are looking for something different but do not know what to get - or even want to contribute towards a new Incubator, Chicken house or other Chicken accessories then you can always give us a call and we can arrange a gift voucher for that special someone. Just ask for me (Claire) when calling.

We have just taken delivery of some brilliant new metal runs These runs are great for those who are looking to have an enclosure around their chicken house rather than a run attached to it.
So if you are looking for a walk-in run then these will be ideal.

I do not have any photographs yet to put on the blog so show these however I understand that in the next few days we will have these so the runs will appear on the website to buy.

They are not only great for chickens but for other pets also.

Well, unfortunately our Seabright offer has come to a close. So we have a new exciting offer available on our Dorking Chicken house - now only £124.99!

The Dorking house is made from 12mm thick timber - so will last. It also has a slide out tray which has a metal insert so when cleaning the bedding does not stick, making cleaning as easy as possible. The house is complete with Nest Box and Perches and is ideal for those looking to house a few chickens in their back garden or small holding.

We offer pictures and dimesnsions on the website however if you are looking for a poultry house and really don’t know what to go for then you can always give us a call and we can see if we can help you in making that important decision.
