Heritage Breeds of chicken are those who have been established since before the mid 1950's as official breeds and a long lived and hardy. They make ideal back yard varieties for the home owner as they are easy to look after, require a minimum of care and promise years of reliable egg laying.
We sell our chickens at approximately 12 - 14 weeks of age for $50, this price may vary depending on increases outside our control. We highly recommend that the pullets are fed Sharpes pullet grower mix until they start laying as the high calcium level in layer pellets can cause organ damage. We sell day old chicks for $12.50 each subject to availability (August- December). All our chicks, pullets and hens are now vaccinated for Mareks disease. Roosters are available August to May. Contact us for prices and availability. Most Heritage breeds have unique and interesting features including specific colouring, egg laying characteristics and some are dual purpose being suitable for meat birds as well as egg layers. The breeds we have are selected for their hardiness, temperament and suitability for the backyard farmer. |
