Just a little bit of an FAQ post while I’ve got a moment 🥳
Do I have any POL or coop ready birds?
I have one buff Orpington x & 1 black commercial australorp girl available.

Will you have POL soon?
Very unlikely, our girls usually sell around 10 weeks so the oldest I’ll have soon will be 10/12 weeks (they sell faster than I can grow them).

Do you sell chicks?
Yep, hatching twice a week currently, but like they say “don’t count your eggs before they hatch”… I can’t make any promises on what I’ll have. They are $10/$15 each. And only available until they’re a week old.

Can I take your unwanted roosters?
Yeah, 100% if they’re from my unsexed chicks you bought previously…
If you bought from another breeder, got ripped off with boys instead of girls and now are stuck with dudes…. Ooof, this is one I get A lot recently. Uh. Yes, I can. But this is something I charge for, and they won’t live happily ever after, they’ll be humanely euthanised so thats a personal choice 🙂

Can you let me know when this breed is ready?
I wish I could, and I promise I do try but I’m probably going to hear mum about a thousand times while I’m doing chicken jobs and totally forget. Gentle reminders/check ins are greatly appreciated, actually, mild harassment is what I would suggest. If you’re polite, don’t ever worry that you’re “bothering me”.

Do you have anyone that’s sexed but still young?
Yep, so many 🫣 if you have the set up to grow pullets from 7/8 weeks that are off heat but not coop ready, we currently have aracuanas, lots of dark Brahma, splash Brahma, gold Brahma, lavender Sussex, welsummers, polish x silkies…. There’s more I’m sure. You get the idea 💡

If you’ve made it this far, I appreciate you!
Let me know what I need to cover next! 👌

Layla came over for another big day of supervising, playing fetch, helping with the brooders & of course quick recharge naps under the aircon 🤣❤️

She absolutely loves coming & doesn’t even look back to say goodbye when her mum drops her off 🤣🫣

Hatching is in full swing still, setting around 400 eggs, twice a week at the moment which also means I’ve got a shed full of chicks! 💕🥳

The last of our commercials have flown the coop 🤣 If you are after POL commercial ladies that are very friendly, this weekend, head over to Sandersons fodder store (they don’t hang around long).

What a day! ☔️

While us girls were off chicken dealing, my maintenance contractor was busy working on this fancy, very fox proof chicken tractor ❤️🫣

& now I’m heading to bed, day 5 of a pounding headache, which included some migraines that had me down for the count.

The pharmacist not so gently suggested rest & aspirin. If you have any tricks of the trade, I’d love to hear from you! I ain’t got time for this 😫

🛌 😴

This beautiful big lump is staying with us at the moment & has me under control, getting her to eat is a bit of a mission…

But if I offer her fresh scrambled eggs that are still warm, with some raw meat mixed in…. She will eat the lot 👌🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m so well trained already! 🤣
Lucky she is absolutely beautiful & such a giant love bug 🐞

Clucky mumma hen picked the worst spot for it but she’s serious about having some babies so for the first time I’m letting her bake some of her eggs & some a GLW started and couldn’t keep. Fingers crossed! How sweet is her noises when she saw the eggs 😭🫣❤️

Southern suburbs chicken drop off 🚗

POL 19 week old white leghorns & isa browns
(4 black hybrids australorps available too)

This Saturday morning (3rd October, 10ish onwards) we will be visiting family in onkaparinga hills, so if you’d like to meet us there to grab some new feathered family members, this is your chance!

These are all guaranteed girls, some have started laying (yesterday), they’re coop ready!

(Please note. We won’t be doing this again, this is our last lot of commercial birds for the foreseeable future, and we won’t be taking extra birds for the drive so make sure you get in early with your orders!)

3️⃣ 0️⃣ each.
