We purchased ours years ago and it’s been one of the best homestead investments EVER. If you process any quantity of meat birds, a plucker will make your life so much easier.

Seriously the BEST thing ever if you are butchering your own meat birds… 100x easier than other wraps and keeps the meat super fresh.
Egg Incubator
If you know me, you know I’m not into high tech or fancy gadgets, but in my mind this incubator is the best option out there if you want to raise your own chicks.
Fly Predators
By releasing these natural enemies of flies, you can reduce the number of flies on your property without using harmful chemicals. We have used these for several years here on the homestead.
Egg Basket
Our #1 necessity for morning egg gathering.
Brooder
A safer alternative to heat lamps– we use one of these EcoBrooders for small batches of new chicks and it works wonderfully.
Fireplace Fan
This non-electric fan sits on the back of our fireplace and helps blow the warm air into the house. It’s brilliant. And I love it.
Bogs Boots
I wear my Bogs boots about 9 months out of the year… Seriously.
