Frequently Asked Questions

​

Can I rent a brooder if I purchase my chicks elsewhere?

Our Rent-a-Brooder service is exclusively available to customers purchasing chicks from Roslin Poultry Ranch. This policy helps us maintain consistent biosecurity practices and reduce the risk of introducing poultry diseases through shared equipment.

​

Which brooder size should I choose?

Our small brooder is designed for up to 6 growing chicks, while our large brooder is designed for 10-15 growing chicks. Consider the number of chicks you are bringing home and their expected growth during the rental period when selecting your setup.

​

Can the brooder accommodate my chicks for the full four weeks?

The setups are intended for young chicks during their early weeks. Chicks grow quite quickly, so monitor their space and heating requirements throughout the rental period. You may need to arrange suitable housing as they outgrow the brooder.

​

Can I extend my rental?

Please contact us before your scheduled return date to discuss an extension. Extensions are subject to availability and approval.

​

​

When will I receive my deposit back?

Your deposit will be refunded after the returned equipment has been checked and confirmed to meet the rental conditions.
