Frequently Asked Questions
Does the room temperature affect the brooder’s performance?
Yes. The effectiveness of your brooder depends on both its size and the ambient room temperature. In cooler environments—especially in winter or in outdoor sheds—the brooder may not generate enough heat on its own to maintain ideal chick temperatures. Always consider external room temperature when setting up your brooder.
What is the recommended ambient temperature for a chicken brooder?
For newly hatched chicks, the brooder temperature should start at approximately 35°C (95°F) during the first week of life. Reduce the temperature by about 3°C (5°F) each week until you reach 21°C (70°F) or until the brooder matches the ambient outdoor temperature.
Chick behaviour is your best guide:
• Too cold: Chicks will huddle tightly under the heat source and chirp loudly.
• Too hot: Chicks will pant, spread their wings, and avoid the heat source.
• Just right: Chicks will move freely around the brooder, exploring and feeding comfortably.
Proper temperature control is critical for healthy development and preventing stress-related issues.
What signs show that chicks are too hot or too cold?
Signs of overheating:
• Panting or rapid breathing
• Wings held away from the body
• Chicks gathering at the outer edges of the brooder
Signs of being too cold:
• Loud, persistent chirping
• Huddling directly under the heat source
• Reduced movement or shivering
Maintaining a stable brooder environment helps ensure healthy growth, stronger immune response, and lower chick mortality.

I love this dryer it’s easy to clean and gets the dogs dry in half the time as my old dryer
Great machine quite powerful great for the price as well.
Handy to carry in bag or pocket was purchased based on website promotion that it can be used to deter aggressive or attacking dogs (living in a rural area where wild dogs can be a problem) but have not yet had to use it.
The trainer works well for both the border limits and for behavior control.
Very easy to deal with. Would definitely use again.
all good
👌
Nice size & compact, perfect for what we need.
Thanks to the team for prompt delivery 👍
This 48 km solar fence energiser is the second one I have bought.
I found the first one so useful that I ordered another for the other end of my property. That way, I can electrify two areas independently, without having to run connecting wires between them, or worry about whether switches are on or off..
G'day guys, I'm really very happy with both purchases, the prodder is great & it's holster is very well designed, service was great, postage was very quick & the company was fantastic to deal with 10 out of 10, I'll be back for more purchases very soon. Many thanks guys.
Great device to keep in the car to control the cows lurking the streets!
Good value works as it should
Fantastic little unit - easy & safe to operate ensuring you feel comfortable whilst working.
We moved to a new larger property with our 3 huskies who have always been contained behind 7 foot high, reinforced fencing and even that sometimes wasn't enough. So a move to a new property with farm fencing was a major concern. We tried this system and have not looked back. All 3 are now aware of the "no go zone" and so far so good (even with horses, other dogs and rabbits all around!)
This electrifier is a fantastic unit, I've now got two, one is on a three strand fence and the other on two, both are putting out good voltage and amps which works well, it's still very important to have a good quality earth stake tho. This company is only let down by the courier companies who do now treat packages well. More robust packaging would be appreciated.
