Laying hens love this! Reap the benefits.
Egg and Shell Support Powder has now reverted (back!) to its original name - Mineral Boost.
Nettex Poultry Egg and Shell Support Powder is a complementary mineral feed specially formulated to improve egg quality, assist digestion and provide nutritional support for laying hens.
Ideal for laying hens resulting in faster moults, good egg quality and healthier, stronger birds.
This nutritionally advanced mineral supplement contains high levels of limestone and oyster grit to increase calcium consumption to form strong and sturdy eggshells.
Phosphorous is added to help the birds metabolize calcium.
Probiotics (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) are high in quality proteins and contain a wide ratio of amino acids and B vitamins that stimulate extra immune protection to improve all-round condition and performance.
Seaweed improves the quality of eggshell strength, improves yolk colour and increases egg laying numbers as well as improving feed conversion and absorption of nutrients (seaweed is rich in Vitamins A, D & Iodine).
Contains aniseed to help stimulate appetite.
Feeding Guidelines: One rounded teaspoon will feed 15 birds per day. Add Egg & Shell Boost to feed twice a week for optimum health. Add to dry or wet feed.
Now protected by Biomaster antimicrobial additive: proven to reduce bacterial growth by 99.99% and 100% safe for eggs, chicks and humans. Protects hatches from microbial transfer by cross-contamination helping to reduce unexplained hatching failures. For more information, please click here

Compact easy-to-clean walk-in hen house.
A mini version of our best selling Apex Hen House. A brilliant compact walk-in timber hen house for up to 10 hens. Accommodates 6 hens very comfortably. Professionally built, quality KITSET design with easy-to-follow assembly instructions.
This drinker fits below a bucket or a container with a thick base.
We recommend approx. 1 drinker per 2 to 3 chickens. (e.g. a flock of 6 hens will require approx. 2 to 3 lubing cups).
The drinker works on a similar principle to nipple drinkers, although is designed for use specifically for poultry and game (not rabbits or mischievous parrots that like to chew).
The device requires a low-pressure gravity feed supply via a header tank, drum or bucket. (no greater than 400mm of head).
Alternatively, the cups can be attached directly to any container with a reasonably thick base so can be drilled and threaded.
The drinker has a tapered thread, so will self tighten as threaded into your container.
Tips for training chooks onto nipples
The golden rule for teaching birds to use any type of new watering system like nipples is to remove all other sources of water! As long as they have what they are familiar with they will use it first and will never try something new. If their only choice is to drink from that new shiny metal thingy hanging under the pipe or bucket, it will only take one thirsty bird to try it and show everybody elsewhere to get a drink. So just to be perfectly clear, to teach your birds to use the nipples, remember golden rule...Remove all other sources of water! When installing the new nipple system, simply gather your chooks around and show them by tapping the nipples with your fingers which cause water to leak. That will get their attention and they learn very quickly.
We recommend 1-3 chooks per nipple.
This drinker fits directly into the side of a bucket or tank.
We recommend approx. 1 drinker per 2 to 3 chickens. (e.g. a flock of 6 hens will require approx. 2 to 3 lubing cups).

Best auto feeder for small spaces!
If space is a premium in the chicken coop then this mini feeder is the one for you 😊 The best thing about the Appletons MINI Step On Feeder is that it takes up ONLY half the space of the Appletons Large Step On Feeder and does the same job.
Benefits:
For chook keepers with 3 to 4 hens. Remember an average laying hen eats app. 130 - 140g of layer pellets a day so the consumption vs when you need to fill it
Suitable for all standard sized birds (brown shavers and hylines), heavy breeds and some larger light breeds (leghorns.)
This brilliant step-on auto chicken feeder holds approximately 6kg.
Hens are foragers and do best eating little and often throughout the day so feed on demand works best.
Reduces hierarchy in flocks ensuring all birds get enough feed which results in happy hens and better egg production.
Vermin-proof: Keeps out rats, mice and sparrows ensuring your poultry feed is not contaminated.
Keeps feed clean and helps to reduce the worm burden.
Ideal for busy people that are not always home early in the morning and late afternoon to feed their hens and those of us that go away for weekends.
Reduces feed wastage and saves money. Open feeders can lose up to 40% of feed to sparrows and other birds.
NZ made - supporting local NZ business
The unit is made from aluminium with alloy rivets, plated steel hinges, nuts and bolts so it keeps working in adverse weather.
Includes our very own Appletons training instructions which are clear and easy to follow. Training is very important and best not to be rushed or shortened.
Chickens need to be POL (point of lay) 18+ weeks of age and older for training.
Dimensions: app. 30cm (long) x 46cm (wide) x 22cm (height) (Height when fully open is 40cm)
What Size is Best?
The large step on feeder or mini step on feeder?The large size is more suitable for a larger walk-in hen house especially if you plan to position the feeder inside the hen house or outside in the poultry run (protected from the weather) where there is plenty of space. The large step on is twice as wide as the mini and therefore offers more hens the opportunity to feed at once (+ it also holds more food.) The mini 6kg version is perfect for smaller flocks living in movable chicken coops where the footprint of the coop is small and space is a premium. Using two mini step on feeders in a larger flock (instead of one large one) can work well as two feeding stations can dissipate any possible dominance over the feeder by a bossy hen/s and also help when introducing new birds.
The perfect solution for those that keep 3 to 4 chooks in a mobile chicken coop like the Ultimate Coop on Wheels or the Eglu Cube Chicken Coop.
"At one stage we were feeding all the neighbourhood sparrows, mice and rats and it was costing us a fortune. When we moved to these step-on feeders (now 16 years ago!) and got the chooks trained to use them our feed bill was considerably reduced and the feed now stays clean and is no longer contaminated with mouse/sparrow droppings. Plus our chook houses are also now free of sparrow droppings and easier to keep clean reducing risk from contamination like salmonella and other diseases carried by the wild birds and rodents. Definitely worth the investment. It will pay for itself in no time!" Fionna Appleton

Too many mice running around?
This double-entry mouse trap is low-line so can sit under furniture or out of sight. There is an entry each side. As the mouse walks in the entry the floor drops down and lets it through. The floor then rises up again preventing escape. The trap is all galvanised but the top is clear plastic. This serves to encourage other mice in once one is trapped. (Mice like to socialise in small places.) It also allows a view of bait, and allows you to see when it needs emptying. Lid opens for baiting and removal of mice.
Dimensions: 26cm long x 16cm deep x 5cm high. We have been using these traps and they work a treat - very effective and great at catching more than one mouse!
A fantastic mouse trap - not only do you get the mouse but you get his friends too!

A must have swing for all budgies!
Timber swing with bell below. Perfect for any budgie cage. We have one for Sparkie, Our budgie, in his Omlet geo Budgie Cage. He spends a lot of time snoozing on it chatting away to himself!
New Design. Looking to attract tuis, bellbirds and waxeyes to your garden?
Yes, feed native NZ birds safely with Topflite’s purpose-designed Nectar Feeder. Expect visits from tūī, bellbird and waxeyes, if present.
New Zealand birds are quirky and colourful. They also have unique feeding needs. Topflite has designed a Nectar Feeder that serves native garden birds safely and is super-easy to clean and refill.
This design keeps feathers and droppings well clear of food with its wide, thin perching ring and the red colour of the base mimics native flowers to help birds find it easily. A removable insect cap keeps bees from taking a dive and small feeding holes for fine, tapered beaks make sure it’s just tūī, bellbirds and waxeyes who are invited to feed.
Best of all, hygiene is made easy with a glass bottle and sturdy base that are both dishwasher safe.
Strong enough to handle a hefty tūī or three
Easy to use – just fill and screw on the base
Includes a sample-size sachet of nectar
Attracts tūī, bellbirds and waxeyes, if present
Bee friendly
Set-up Instructions: Unscrew the glass bottle and fill it with water, sugar water or Topflite Wild Bird Nectar mix. Screw into the base firmly but gently. Avoid over-tightening the bottle in the feeder base thread. The best ratio for feeding is one part sugar or Topflite Wild Bird Nectar to four parts water. Throw out any liquid not consumed after 3 days to avoid it fermenting. Dirty bird feeders are dangerous to bird populations as they can spread pathogens: thoroughly clean the feeder with gentle soap and warm water before every refill, or run it through the dishwasher.
Feeding Guide: Place the feeder high and out of predators’ reach but close to native trees and shrubs (where possible)—place it near other wild bird food sources. Larger native birds are more likely to visit a feeder already in use by their smaller feathered friends. Where possible, plant native shrubs as long-term sources of natural nectar and berries.
Dimensions: 29cm x 25cm x 25cm
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does nectar in bird feeders go stale or ferment?Yes, it does. While we humans are partial to the odd fermented beverage, old sugar water or nectar is not good for birds. Leftover nectar or sugar water should be drained from the feeder after 2 - 3 days, and the feeder should be thoroughly cleaned to prevent bacterial growth.
2) Should I use white or brown sugar for feeding native birds?We recommend white or raw sugar. There is no scientific consensus that brown sugar offers benefits over and above white sugar, and equally, there’s no evidence it does any harm. We use raw sugar in our Wild Bird Nectar because it’s minimally processed and provides the golden colour that we know helps birds to locate a food source.
3) What ratio of sugar to water should I use in my nectar feeder?Manaaki Whenua and other researchers recommend a sugar concentration of around 20% (one cup of sugar per litre of water) This mimics the sugar concentration of natural plant nectar consumed by New Zealand nectar-sipping birds.
Well worth the investment!
Extra performance nest pads.The Astroturf Nest Pad is made from a special polyethylene composition. The blades are tapered for better wear and resistance. The rounded tops contribute to the hens' comfort, help to ensure a better egg roll-off and reduce the number of feathers clinging to the shell. Astroturf is suitable for both backyard and commercial layers. The chestnut colour was selected after intensive research.
Benefits:
Fewer dirty shelled eggs, fewer cracks and breakages.The open structure of the new nest pad combined with the special shape and high flexibility of its individual blades ensures that the eggs roll away nicely when using a rollaway nest box system.
Fewer floor eggs.Hens find nests fitted with Astroturf attractive. They seem to prefer Astroturf to any other material. As a result, the number of floor eggs is negligible.
Cheaper and more profitable.Unhygienic litter is now a thing of the past, as is the intensive labour needed to keep replacing it. Astroturf lasts for several years.
Easy to install and maintain. Astroturf is easy to cut to the right size. Once it is installed it needs little maintenance. The open structure enables more dirt to fall through and the new design prevents dirt from sticking to the nest pad. The mat is therefore very easy to clean.
Dimensions: width 900mm x 20mm high
These nest liners work really well!
Thumbs up all round from both the hens and us! 👍🐔🥚 Lovely, clean eggs to collect each day. We have seen no broken eggs since using the chicken astroturf. Hens can sometimes kick the wood shavings out the bowl when fluffing around to lay. With the chicken astroturf, they cannot, so eggs are laid directly on top. Perfect! - to await your collection. 😊
Available in a single pack.Size: 22cm x 73cm

Easy to install and maintain The open structure enables more dirt to fall through and the new design prevents dirt from sticking to the nest pad. The mat is very easy to clean.
TOP TIP: If your hens are older layers or set in their ways we recommend installing the nest liner and then covering it with some of their original nesting material (straw/hay/shavings) Slowly reduce the amount of the original nest material until they adapt to the new liner. Remember chickens are creatures of habit and a sudden change is not a good thing - trick them slowly into a new habit!
Collect clean, fresh eggs every day with no more soiled eggs to wash, especially during the wetter months.
The softness of the nest pad ensures a comfortable area for the hens to lay.As required, the pad simply lifts out to be washed, dried and returned to the nest for tomorrow's eggs - thus keeping the nest clean, tidy and hygienic, giving your hens the ultimate comfort and with absolutely no hay, straw or shavings to bother with and will reduce time spent cleaning your coop.
Dimensions: approximately 300mm x 300mm and can easily be cut down to a smaller size.
Also available in larger sizes
