Candling, Spares & Consumables
Chick Mat | Appletons
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 app. 900mm x 900mm in green or black and can cut to size. Can be washed, disinfected and re-used.

Egg Candling Lamp | Power Lux
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 is used in combination with small eggs such as quail and the other one for use in combination with larger eggs. The caps are easily interchangeable. The rubber of the caps is flexible and therefore it ensures no light leakage during candling as it adapts to the shape of the egg. This way the candling image is much clearer. The "Powerlux" candler works with the supplied adapter complete with NZ Plug. This adapter is provided with a 2.5 m cord. Warning: please do NOT look into the lens as this causes a sight loss for a short period of time.

Hygrometer | Bi-Metal | TFA Germany
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 it completely. You can use it 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!
