Candling, Spares & Consumables

Essential for hatching and rearing day old chicks. Chick Mat is essential if you are hatching in incubators or raising chicks in brooder boxes. We use chick mat in our brooder boxes for the first 3 to 5 days. It helps prevent splays and gives the day-olds a firm surface to grip. Perfect if you are hatching pheasant, partridge, guinea fowl and chickens. We also use chick mat in our incubators during the hatching stage to stop eggs rolling around during the hatch. Chick Mat comes in a square approx. 900mm x 900mm in green or black and can be cut to size. Can be washed, disinfected and re-used. ℹ️ Learn more Brinsea Incubators | Appletons - our full guide to Brinsea incubators Shop Mini II Incubator Hatching Mats | Brinsea - disposable hatching mats for Mini II Shop Chick Brooder Starter Package - everything you need to get started

The light power of this candler is huge! With the very latest Super Bright LED lamp technology (NO Heat Output) + magnifying lens. Designed especially for hard to candle eggs but equally suitable for general day to day use in candling eggs. The light power of this candler is huge! The light source is a high powered LED, which, in combination with a special magnifying lens, produces a huge amount of light output. The use of a LED is a very durable way of candling with incredibly long life and low heat output, therefore not damaging to developing embryos. This candler comes with two rubber caps — one for small eggs such as quail and one for larger eggs. The rubber caps are flexible and ensure no light leakage during candling. The "Powerlux" candler works with the supplied adapter complete with NZ Plug with a 2.5m cord. Warning: please do NOT look into the lens as this causes a sight loss for a short period of time. ℹ️ Learn more Brinsea Incubators | Appletons - our full guide to Brinsea incubators Shop Ovaview Candling Lamp | Brinsea - battery-powered candling option Shop Ovaview High Intensity | Brinsea - for darker and mottled shells

If setting eggs then a candling lamp is an essential tool. Candling eggs will identify the fertile from the clear — saving time and valuable incubation space. PLUS it is heaps of fun being able to look into your eggs and watch your peeps grow! The OvaView candling lamp is a very effective low cost all-purpose candling lamp ideal for identifying infertile eggs with pale, plain shells (most species of hen, duck or goose etc.). Battery-powered for convenience and uses high output, high efficiency LED illumination — no bulbs to replace or concerns about overheating the eggs during an inspection. The OvaView is designed to either be hand-held or can be left on a work surface during use. Supplied with a flexible black ring to seal against the eggshell.The candling lamp comes with a set of 4 AA batteries but can be used with rechargeable AA batteries. ℹ️ Learn more Brinsea Incubators | Appletons - our full guide to Brinsea incubators Shop Ovaview High Intensity | Brinsea - higher power for darker and mottled shells Shop Egg Candling Lamp | Power Lux - mains-powered high intensity option

This is a brilliant candling lamp! Lights up the whole egg showing the spidery veins in a fertile egg from as early as day 4. The OvaView High Intensity is similar to the OvaView but with a much higher light output from a higher spec LED. The greater power makes the inspection of darker and mottled egg shells easier. Supplied with both the normal flexible black ring to seal against the eggshell plus a smaller version for smaller eggs.The larger power drain means that rechargeable AA batteries are needed. We use camera batteries! ℹ️ Learn more Brinsea Incubators | Appletons - our full guide to Brinsea incubators Shop Ovaview Candling Lamp | Brinsea - standard intensity option Shop Egg Candling Lamp | Power Lux - mains-powered high intensity option

Essential incubation tool. This handy little device will come in very handy to double-check your humidity is where it should be!Precision Hygrometers, bi-metal type available in 45mm and 70mm — made by TFA Germany. These hygrometers have a bimetallic mechanism and it's possible to calibrate them completely. You can use them as a rough indication of relative humidity in incubators and intensive care brooders. The relative humidity is indicated as a percentage from 0-100. The humidity in an incubator required depends on the kind of eggs and the extent to which the shell is porous. An egg should lose approx 11% to 13% of its weight during incubation. By calculating how much weight the egg should lose throughout incubation, you can determine whether you should adjust the humidity in the incubator. You can use this hygrometer as an indicator and then by weighing the eggs regularly. This combination is the best method to determine the humidity very accurately. These are one of the best quality hygrometers available, made by TFA in Germany. The smaller gold one is the 45mm and the blue one is the 70mm hygrometer. When it comes to incubation there are 4 key things to remember: Temperature, Humidity, Turning and Ventilation. Make sure you get all 4 right! ℹ️ Learn more Brinsea Incubators | Appletons - our full guide to Brinsea incubators Shop Glass Thermometer | Brinsea - pair with a thermometer for complete monitoring Shop Silicone Tubing | Brinsea - for humidity management in your incubator
