We have bought chickens from Appletons for many years . Always excellent chickens that lay many eggs for 3 or 4 years amazing .
Appletons 10/10 on products and fast service. Fairly easy to assemble - Phillips screwdriver needed. Packaged to assist with placement of pieces.
We bought the thermal blanket & connector kit. We don’t have the Appletons firm-sided run, but the kit still works to connect the Eglu to our 60mm diamond shaped powder coated wire dog run with cable ties. The sides flex a bit but the connector kit forms the area around Eglu entry so it solved our problem well.
The included hay rack & water bottle on the back is a great idea for night feeding.
We used cardboard to line the shaped plastic base for disposable, warm non slip flooring solution.
Highly recommend
A great product.
Good quality materials, easy to follow instructions and assemble.
Finished product looks great.
Stock love it.
Perfect egg trays. Used for chicken & duck eggs. Can be cleaned easily.
We have 2 of these heat plates, work very well with a brooder set up. I’d recommend getting the cover as well to stop chicks pooping on it. Fionna and Gordon are fantastic, we have been chicken keeping for 15 years with their helpful knowledge and service.
Happy with this product. Unfortunately the Weka love them too and promptly stole 3 of them. I have no idea where they are now lol
Hi Kelly, we're glad you enjoyed the rubber eggs! Sorry to hear the wekas enjoy them too! The slightly larger, painted white, wooden eggs will be better suited if you have wekas and pukeko interest. We sell these - pair of wooden eggs. They are harder to pick up and grip in a big weka beak! Thanks for sharing your fun story!
I normally try to avoid plastic, but i needed a waterer that wouldn’t freeze. Took a bit for my girls to work it out, having it at the right height is key. Good quality, so glad i don’t have to clean it out everyday.
solid, great quality - I will say; the little note with it really did not help in getting it to work, the words made no sense and the image was too blurry... I thought I had bought a dud... Then I twisted it differently together and it started working... THEN, when I looked at the image I kinda got what it meant... but would recommend instructions for people like me who have never seen one before. Service was fantastic and the order arrived super quickly. Also really appreciate the refund on overpaid shipping, without me even having to ask for it. Thank you very much for that!
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! We're glad the lamp holder works well for you and appreciate your suggestion about clearer instructions. We will get onto that 😊 It's great to hear you were pleased with our service and the refund. We'll keep working on making everything even easier to use. Thanks again for your support!
Good product, sturdy etc but I thought these would be warmer than the regular heat lamps and they're not in my opinion. But service was great, arrived fast too. Thank you for combining shipping for me too, really appreciate the refund without me even having to ask
Thank you for your thoughtful review 😊 We are glad you appreciated the service and fast delivery.
Are you using a reflector with your heat setup? A reflector shade will make a huge difference, as it bounces the heat down to make it much warmer.
Thanks again for your feedback!
Great fencing, just purchased an additional 21 metres. Keeps our girls well contained in a large area. Easy to move around too.
Well-made, easy to assemble; I like that it has a full liner for the litter.
Good strong plastic. Arrived in super quick time.
Convenient ready to go kit which was instantly chook approved!
In a household of many cats, this enclosure is cat proof, very important for newborn chicks to survive ! looks good.
The leg bands were easy to put on and easily identify the group of younger hens in the flock.
Great product, the girls love it and so do I. Consistently cool, clean water, very well designed and made, we also purchased the Omelet pellet feeder and the two look great in situ together. Highly recommended.
Good Traps a lot smaller than a vector.
Strong light as. I will be getting some more 👍
Although the feeder is a bit of an investment, it is worth every cent, easy to set up and change settings via the omlet app, makes early winter mornings easier.
Good quality shavings, dust free prefect for my Guinea pig's hutches. promptly shipped thank you.
This product is fantastic I was sick of constantly having to empty and refill my chickens water every few hours as the wild birds keep pooping in it. This one I can fill to 11 litres and the water is keep clean and my chickens love it best of all easy to keep clean and I can pop any tonic they need in it.
