Homestead Durables
Stackable Wooden Quail Egg Holder
This 2-tier wooden countertop quail egg organizer helped me reclaim my counter. It is only 10.8″ long and 6″ deep. The 2-tiers can be separated or stacked. When stacked, the whole thing is only 5.7″ high, and additional tiers may be added. Each tier holds 24 Coturnix quail eggs. I rely on this to keep my eggs organized and my counter clutter-free. I may need to order another 2-tier set to increase my storage capacity, from 48 to 96 eggs, without taking up more counter space!

Quail Egg Scissors
I love these quail scissors.
They’re the handiest tool in my homestead kitchen.
I use them every day.
They make cracking quail eggs quick and easy!
Stainless Steel Zip Ties
When I moved to the desert,
I quickly discovered that plastic zip ties become brittle and snap under the harsh sun. That’s why I switched to durable stainless steel zip ties for my homestead. Built to withstand tough environments, they’ve stood the test of time and earned my trust. Mine are still going strong in the hot desert sun. Save yourself some headaches – don’t wait for your ties to snap!

Egg Hatching Incubator
Initial product review for low-cost, generic feature-packed, entry-level, 35-watt egg incubator. I couldn’t resist snagging it as my emergency backup for my quail eggs! Its compact size is perfect for tucking into an insulated box during power outages or pairing with a solar power pack, and its smart features ~ like auto egg turning, temp control, and an external water system ~ make it a game-changer for hatching quail, chicken, or duck eggs.
Currently, there’s a $10 off coupon, plus an additional 10% off, so I was able to snag one for $30.49 plus tax.
Set of 2 Poultry Feeders
I was going to make a DIY version of these PVC poultry J-Feeders. When I priced out the materials, it was cheaper for me to buy these. Each of these durable poultry feeders holds more than 6 pounds of feed.
I found that the juvenile ducks on my homestead emptied them overnight ~ not so with the adults.
They’re also perfect for grit and oyster shells.
Solar Pendant Light
I love the multiple settings on this hanging solar light.
I can manually turn it on and off, or I can use the remote to set the timer to encourage egg-laying in my homestead quailery ~ 6 hours in spring and fall, 3 hours early and late summer. I have had mine for a year and a half, and it still performs flawlessly.
NOTE: Many homesteaders do not use supplemental lighting at all. I do not use it in mid-summer.
To give my hens a break, I skip supplemental lighting
from Thanksgiving Day to Valentine’s Day
Dual Solar Fans
These 25-watt dual solar fans are small but mighty.
By removing heat and circulating air,
they improve ventilation in my off-grid
mini-greenhouse/aviary ~ I use them to help the plants and birds on my homestead thrive.
NOTE: These fans do not have a built-in battery, so they don’t work when there is a lot of cloud cover, or at night. Using both fans at the same time reduces the amount of air movement. I mounted my fans on different walls so I can direct the airflow and exhaust as needed. These are not meant for large areas; they work great for my needs. Many people use them for small chicken coops or duck houses; some add them to rabbit cages and dog houses.
