Poultry
Heat and Brooding
Pipestone Farm Supply carries the heat and brooding gear for hatching and raising chicks: the Little Giant 10.5 inch brooder reflector lamp with 250 W clear or red heat-lamp bulbs, the K&H Thermo-Poultry Brooder heated plate as a lower-wattage alternative to a hanging lamp, and for hatching, the Little Giant CSA-listed incubator, its automatic egg turner and an incubator thermometer kit. Follow the manufacturer’s clearance and mounting instructions for any heat lamp – secure it with more than the clamp, keep it well above the bedding and out of reach of the birds – and check the K&H product pages for their safety notes. Waterers, feeders and nesting supplies are in the other Poultry ranges, and heated bowls and pads in Thermo and Heated Products. Shop online with Canada-wide shipping, or pick up free at our store in Millet, Alberta. For heated perches, pads and brooders, see our guide Chicken Coop Heaters for an Alberta Winter: Heated Perches, Pads and Brooders.
