Great package with eveything required. The day old chicks learnt how to use the drinker on day two and they love the heat plate :)

Delivery was quick, and the products were in excellent condition and as described. This has been a very useful purchase.

Always a pleasure dealing with appletons

Haven’t used it as yet as eggs incubating, but am pleased everything to set up brooder included. Looking forward to using it

The package conveniently included everything that was necessary to care for 6 chicks of a week old chicks except food. The chicks loved the Comfort Heat Plate and it worked perfectly.

Appletons package resulted in survival of a complete brood of orphan shelducklings. A waaaay better solution than my hobbled together box and bedside lamp affair, which whilst could have worked just clearly wasn’t something I’d be proud to show/share and wouldn’t have offered complete care.

Appletons were extremely helpful with the information we needed to get this sorted. The parcel arrived very quickly and was simple to set up. We will be a repeat customer. Thank you.

The starter package is amazing! We had raised rescued wild ducklings before but wanted something better suited for our indian runners. Everything was in great condition and arrived promptly. Definitely better than ducklings taking over my bathtub!!

Appletons Chick Brooder Starter Package for Rearing Day Olds

This Starter pack was just what we need. We have free range chickens that just roam across our 10 acres, and they have been terrible mothers in the past. When we find a chick away from its mum we have to try and hand rear them. It has been really handy to have this set up, and if and when we find chicks we are quickly able to get them warmed up and fed in an easy clean enclosure. Thanks Heaps

Great to have when you have little chickens around.

Has been perfect! Exactly what I needed and fast easy delivery!

Fantastic service, goods arrived next day well packed and in good order. 5 star

Very happy with all the products we have purchased from Appletons (coop, enclosure, incubator, starter brooder set, etc). Excellent quality, prompt delivery, well packaged items. Would highly recommend.

We bought the starter pack for housing the chicks we have incubated at school as part of our Primary Industries programme and it is so awesome - the cage is a great size with nice high sides to catch all the 'bits' the chicks flick around. We chose the ceramic lamp instead of the heating pad as it gives greater versatility and our new wee chicks just love it. And it was a GREAT price, very prompt delivery :)
