Breeding Triggers

Breeding birds is one of our greatest loves. It can also be a great source of frustration and disappointment if it isn’t successful. Improper nutrition can also risk the lives of your hens, and over-stress your cocks.

We only sell products that we 100% believe in, and use ourselves. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Three things trigger your birds to reproduce:

1. Light – increasing available light (full spectrum is best) to 14-16 hours per day is the first step. 2. Feeding – in the wild, the fertile period is one marked by an increase in wet weather. This makes food more abundant, and in seed eating species, the food source sprouts, or is soaked…. this bumps its nutrition levels, and is easier to feed their young. We need to mimic this. 3. Temperature – birds will raise young in a wide range of temperatures, but temps in the 60’s to high 70’s keeps the birds most comfortable, without the risks of egg binding or heat stresses leading to exhaustion.

The products below we have used for years, and have seen a huge boost in success since we started using them. We want others to enjoy this hobby as we do, and offer these products to the public at wholesale prices with razor thin margins to keep proper care for our customers flock within everyone’s reach.
