Did you know?

We offer rooster surrender for all baby chicks and fertile eggs purchased from our lines at Mooloolah Valley Poultry Farm.

If one of your chicks grows into a rooster you’re unable to keep, you can return him to us for rehoming.

It’s part of our ongoing support for customers, so you can enjoy raising your chicks knowing there’s an option if you hear a cock-a-doodle-doo!

Roosters must be healthy and free of lice and mites. Please message us to arrange a drop-off time.

IS YOUR HEN BROODY?

A broody hen wants to sit on eggs and hatch chicks. She’ll often stay in the nesting box, puff up or grumble when you approach, and stop laying. She can go broody even without a rooster!

You have two options: help her stop being broody, or let her raise chicks.

IF YOU DON’T WANT CHICKS

• Collect eggs regularly.
• Gently lift her off the nest several times a day and encourage her to eat, drink and join the flock.
• Stop her returning to her chosen nest, while leaving nesting space for your other hens.

For a stubborn broody, a separate broody jail can help. Use a secure, sheltered pen/crate with good airflow and no nesting box or cosy nesting material. A raised mesh floor must comfortably support her feet. Always provide food, fresh water and enough room to move.

Check her daily. This often takes around 3–4 days, but some hens need longer. Return her to the flock once she stops trying to sit.

IF YOU’D LIKE HER TO RAISE CHICKS

A healthy hen that is consistently sitting can be given fertile eggs. Chicken eggs take approximately 21 days to hatch, and she’ll need a safe, quiet nest with food and water nearby.

Another option is introducing newly hatched chicks. Some broody hens accept them, but others don’t. Supervise closely and have a heated brooder ready if she rejects them.

WE CAN HELP WITH BOTH!

At Mooloolah Valley Poultry Farm, we have chicks hatching multiple times a week and fertile eggs available in a range of breeds.

Have a broody girl ready to become a mum? Send us a message to discuss fertile eggs or chicks from an upcoming hatch!
