Are your girls a bit worse for wear after the breeding season? Are you concerned coming into winter?

The heat and moulting plays havoc on a laying hen's body and this time of year is when we see an increase in hens passing away for seemingly no reason at all. Poultry mainly suffer in silence. If they have a vitamin or mineral deficiency 9 times out of 10 you will not know until it's too late.
Feeding a high-quality supplement will make sure your chooks are in tip top health during this transition period.

Picture is of my hen- 2 weeks of using this blend! Shorter days and cooler temperatures...To chickens, it’s a sign that it is time to renew their feathers. Losing feathers and re-growing them is called moulting and occurs every year when the days get shorter. During moult, chickens typically stop ...

After 5 separate cancellations I still have Wyandotte’s x 5 and some Barnevelders left.
I don’t want to be that person but after the amount of time I’ve wasted with people that did not follow through I will not hold these chicks.
Do not message if you haven’t checked with your husband! The amount of husbands that have said no to chicks after having committed is Astonishing.
Also please do not message me if you have defaulted on your purchase previously.

After all this wet weather (for those in Qld)
Mites, lice and other nasties are prevalent.
Our poultry spray is 100% natural and aids in prevention and treatment against these pests.
It’s gentle enough to use on chicks all the way up to your laying hens.
Use weekly for prevention or spray directly into infected birds.

If you have a major infestation this alone will not eradicate. Use in conjunction with DE, ivermectin, pestone powder.
We try to keep all our birds as natural as possible. I have not treated my birds with any chemicals in over 4 years since using our spray weekly.

Family owned and operated in Brisbane qld. Shipping Australia wide!

CYCLONE READINESS WITH CHICKENS

With the impending weather system sweeping through SEQLD and NSW we have had so many messages asking what to do with your chookits.

Each situation is different due to how many chooks you have, what set ups you have, where you are located and typical storm condition’s.

The absolute best you can do-
Bring your chooks undercover. House, patio, garage etc.
If you have a heap of chooks this may be impossible.
Lock your girls in their coup- not run.
If your run has a large tarp/plastic cover remove if possible (if they have other shelter inside the run).
If not use star pickets or large wind rated, screw in pegs to anchor the pen down.
You can use star pickets with tie down straps over the entire structure.

Remember chooks can be a bit silly. Especially young chooks. They will literally huddle in the rain and drown. Even if there is a safe perch 10cm above.

Make sure you have sawdust, straw, anything to keep some separation from wet ground to your babies. It will get wet, and stinky but you can clean it out after the event.

Do not bring new chooks home or move to unfamiliar coops.
I cannot stress the importance of this. If the coop gets blown open or over and the chooks are not used to the location you will stand very little chance of finding them after the weather clears. Only move them to familiar places or somewhere inside and secure!

Fill up feeders tomorrow and clean water. Make sure they are both undercover. If you have time give your girls a serve of high protein. Mealworms, fly larvae, cat food, tuna etc.
Not only will this help internally but also mentally as well.

Stay safe and best wishes to all in the firing line.
Our store will not be posting any orders over the next few days.
We are located between Gold Coast and Brisbane so expect a rough ride.
Will post updates as we go.
15 pens of chooks, 2 days of preparation…. 🤞🙏
