Omlet's feeder has five feeding ports designed to stop hens flicking feed onto the ground, which saves money and keeps rats away. It holds 5kg of feed.
An insulated drinker that helps stop water freezing in winter and keeps it cooler in summer. The stay-clean design means less scrubbing.
A British-made incubator that holds seven hen or duck eggs, turns them automatically and has a fan to keep the temperature even. It's ideal for hatching their own chicks.
A herbal liquid added to drinking water to support hens' gut health. Many keepers use it as part of a regular routine.

Seed sticks with fruit and nuts that hang in the run for hens to peck at. It's a cheap treat that keeps them busy.
Backyard chicken keepers spend a lot of time feeding, watering and cleaning up after their hens. The best gifts for chicken keepers make those daily jobs easier, like a feeder that doesn't waste food or a drinker that won't freeze. Ask how many hens they have, as it affects the size to buy.
