Off-peak season fertile 🐣's

🥚🥚🥚 Blow the dust off your incys and pre-warm those bad boys, I have an abundance of overflow right now 🥚🥚🥚

Crazy I know! It's freezing cold, wrong time of the year, minimal daylight hours and still my ladies have not got the memo that it's supposed to be their "freeloading season" right now.
🥰 Such dedicated little ladies 🥰

So, with my incubators at full capacity, it's time to offer some discounted fertile eggs 🐣

(Usually sold at $70 per dozen)
Discount trays of 30 fertile eggs for $90
These discounted trays are individually marked with breeds they contain.
These discounted trays will alter with the breeds they contain depending on who's laid what during the week so feel free to message me in the weeks coming for current availability 🐣

We don't need to wait for Spring (according to my keen-bean flocks), so let's start hatching now!
Big love ~ Rebel 🐣

Babbbiiieeeesss! 🐣🐣🐣
Although egg laying has significantly dropped off at this time of the year as the ladies are supposed to be resting their bums and focusing on self love...It seems that my French Wheaten Marans and Belgian D'Uccles didn't receive that memo.
So my incubator is hatching weekly with these little loves.
Feel free to message me about getting some of these fluffy little sweeties if you've got a broody that also didn't get the memo 😄

19/01/2024

Does anyone else have this problem?
Cos.... same 😅

05/01/2024

Ok, can we just stop for a second and consider how difficult it is to orchestrate 6, less than 24 hours old, Belgian D'Uccle chicks to all stand in an orderly line and look at the camera at the same time?
I just lost an hour of my life trying to execute the impossible, but hey... even though I didn't succeed, at least I got to lie on the grass with these little budding superstars and that's time well spent in my opinion 🥰

May I present to you, the colour variations of our sweet little baby Belgians ❤️🐣🥰

(Smart Rebel, at least I didn't try and do this with all 30 something babes from this most recent hatch, that would have been complete, utter fluffy chaos)

04/01/2024

1...2...3...4...uhmmm a butt load of Belgians and a handful of French Wheaten Marans chicks hatched this morning.
Unsexed at $15 each or 10 chicks for $120.
1 male Cream Legbar hatched too and he is free to a loving home if you're able to offer it. (Update ~ Home found 🥰)

I'm due to raid bunnings for some more cardboard boxes so don't forget to bring a little travel box with you to take your babes home in.

Apologies if I'm a bit delayed in responding, my inbox has been going nutters of late.

Ahhhh, aren't they adorable?!? Don't you just want to bury your face into this bucket of sweet little fluffiness? No? Just me? Ahhm, each to their own 🤭

02/01/2024

SOLD OUT - next batch of hens to become available will be due early Feb.

More Belgian D'uccle hens available!
3 different batches available.
4 week old sexed hens ~ $40 each
7 week old sexed hens ~ $50 each
14 week old hens/pullets ~ $70 each
Breeding roosters also available upon request.
I'll add some videos of the Belgians into the comments of this post.

Awww yeah, there's so much to love about these little Belgian bantams.
They're super friendly, look fabulous, won't cost you and arm and a leg to feed, funny and curious personalities that are the perfect little bird for children to gain their confidence with.
Eggs are tinted white and understandably small and they lay between 100 to 120 eggs per year. But let's be real, we're not getting these little loves for egg production.
Full grown hens only weigh approximately 650gms which makes them easy to hold in little hands.
With heavily feathered feet, they won't destroy your garden as they dislike breaking their feet feathers.
Also, watching them run with such fabulous footwear is quite amusing... I liken them to watching a swimmer with flippers on his feet trying to run out into the surf 🤭

Pm me if you have a Belgian D'uccle shaped hole in your life and you would like me to help you fill it.

Big love ~ Rebel 🐣

25/12/2023

Merry Christmas to all our beautiful poultry lovers!
May your day be spent in the company of those you hold dear and your bellies ache from lack of self control 🤭

Make memories and feel the love!
Big love from Mother Rebel and I 🥰

13/12/2023

Pssst...... HENS!

Although I'm still moving slowly after the recent operation, the hens were still not fast enough to slip past me this morning...Mwhahaha!

I have available and ready to go;
4 X Buff Sussex hens (Sold out)
13 X Belgian D'Uccle hens (Sold out)

All hens are $70 each and over 12 weeks old.
Pick-up from Paraparap

29/11/2023

🐣🐣🐣 Belgian D'Uccle! 🐣🐣🐣
$70 per dozen.
Quick, pm me before my fingers get twitchy and I incubate them for myself...Mwhahaha!

Also, my incubator is in lockdown hatching right now with more Belgian and Golden Pheasant babes, I'll be opening it on Friday.
Can't wait 21 days for eggs to hatch? Cheat and get chicks 🤭

16/11/2023

Golden Pheasant fertile eggs available now!
These rare beauties only lay between 6 to 12 eggs per year and I've only got 3 hens in my flock so this will not last long 🐣🐣🐣
I've incubated the first 12 eggs from my flock myself and all proved fertile (I've got 1 little chick that is 2 days old in my brooders right now still available ($50 each).

Fertile eggs are $30 each.

Please do your research before enquiring after these magnificent creatures, they require much more attention to detail to hatch than your average chicken egg does. (Scroll down on the Rebel Chickens page to find my detailed write up from last year on these lovely birds)

Golden Pheasant chicks require a higher protein diet than average chickens do (28% protein) usually found in Game Bird Starter or Turkey Starter Crumble.

They're very agile and energetic from the moment they hatch too, so baby proof your brooder boxes to the maximum 💪

So if you're interested in adding some magnificent eye candy into your flocks this season, send me a private message and let's talk Pheasants!

Big, iridescent, rainbow feathered love ~ Rebel 🐣

05/11/2023

Fertile eggs available now!

Cream Legbar
French Wheaten Marans
Belgian D'uccle

Rainbow dozens available
Pick-up from Paraparap

19/10/2023

Want a mini Rebel flock of your own?
🐣 I make rainbow dozens too 🥰

14/10/2023

*UPDATE* ALL SOLD

Alright, I was planning on keeping these ladies for my own flocks but I had a moment of clarity today that moved me in the direction of sensibility. Yes, even I am prone to fall victim to the quiet and stealthy forces of evil that are 'chicken math'.

So I have 7, six week old Cream legbar hens available. Off heat, eating Barastoc Chick Starter Crumble and ready for their new families.
These ladies are well handled and have proved to be quite happy shoulder ornaments during mundane farm chores.
$50 each and located in Paraparap

Big love ~ sensible Rebel 🐣

Hello my fellow chicken enthusiasts, it's been a while.

Life has not been very easy to navigate this past year. I feel like I've been dragged by the ankles backwards through the scrub but now it is time to dust myself off and rebuild my flocks 🪺🐣🐥🐓

There have been some big changes to Rebel Chickens.
I have relocated to Paraparap, some websites are slow to update this information on.
Mobile contact is the same but [email protected] is experiencing technical difficulties and I can't access email orders right now.

Breeds have been reduced to only Cream Legbars, French Wheaten Marans, Golden Pheasants and Belgian D'Uccle now.

Spring 2024 will see the flock breeds welcome Silkies and Rhode Island Reds.

All my flocks are producing over 80% fertility statistics and fertile egg sales Australia wide is now officially available.
(See last years facebook post regarding postal eggs)

I have batches of babies hatching weekly (every Friday), however, I just set my last batch of 280 eggs in the cabinet incubator this morning and won't be setting any more for this season.
Meaning, chicks will only be available up until early November and after that, only fertile eggs will be available via contactless trade or express post.
This is because, on November 6th, I will be undergoing another major abdominal surgery and won't be physically able to attend my chicken duties while recovering.
By the time I recover I fear the season will be coming to a close.

Sorry! No hens available as all the chicks are selling out and leaving no one left to raise up into adults.

So, if you're interested in doing some hatching this Spring (or your trusty hen has gone broody) send me a nudge in private messages or Whatsapp and I'll set you up with some little babes or eggs to hatch.

Big love!
~ Rebel 🐣

Flicking through the National Poultry newspaper the other day and this was an interesting titbit of information. Fingers crossed the laboratory in Israel are onto something big. This would save an immense amount of cruelty in our already harsh world if it does 🐣

Thank you everyone ❤️

*Update* all gone 🐣
I couldn't help myself. I put all my Belgian D'Uccle eggs in the incubator 3 weeks ago expecting a low hatch rate due to the time of year but low and behold, almost every egg still hatched.
Now I have over 20 Belgian D'Uccle chicks available.
I'm turning off the incubator now in preparation for the big move so I'm not tempted again but these little ones are available for $10 each now.
Pm me for more details 🐣🐣🐣

🐣 Rebel Chickens is relocating to Paraparap 🐣

Come Spring 2023, Rebel Chickens will have relocated to new pastures.

A lot has changed and unfortunately I have had to say goodbye to our Black Australorps, Silver Laced Barnevelders, Gold Laced Seabrights, Golden Pheasants and Silkies.

I will still be specialising in these 3 breeds;
~ Belgian D'Uccle (Black Mottled and Millefleur)
~ Cream Legbar (Blue egg layers)
~ French Wheaten Marans (Dark brown egg layers)

*NOTE* All new bloodlines of Silkie will be joining my flocks come 2024.

When I re-open later this year, Rebel Chickens will continue to supply;

• Fertile hatching eggs (Australia wide postage as well as local pickup)
• Day old chicks
• Hens
• Roosters

🐣 Looking forward to seeing everyone again in Spring 2023.
Until then, I wish for your flocks to be healthy and that your hens are kind to you so you never have to buy overpriced eggs from the dreaded supermarket 🐣

Big love ~ Rebel

Awww, my best friends daughter is so gentle with her feather covered man.
Our sweet little Sophie and her beautiful pet rooster.

🥰 Animal love is the purest form of love 🥰

23/01/2023

Rebel Chickens is now closed until further notice.

Don't worry, we're just resting our bums for a little while.

See you when we emerge with beautiful new feathers ❤️🐣❤️

Until then, be safe and cherish your animal family members accordingly.

Big love ~ Rebel

Have you ever wondered why it is that you can hear your eggs 'cheeping' in the Hatcher before they have even started to pip their shells and breathe our oxygen?
Or how bacteria can get inside an egg and kill a developing embryo?
The answer .. air holes in the shell of the egg.

Check out this informative video from NPR Skunk Bear.
