WHERE TO BUY CHICKENS FOR THE FIRST TIME. Its one of the Top 10 questions I get asked.
1. Start with ISA Browns (sometimes called Hi-Lines) or White/Black Leghorns - these are called HYBRIDS. They are friendly and very egg productive all year round. They teach you how to own chickens. When you are confident, then move onto another breed.
2. Go to fodder stores that are dotted throughout the suburbs and towns. They usually stock the hybrid chickens. Go with a large box or cage.
3. You must have a coop already in your yard BEFORE you bring home chickens. This also includes drinkers, feeders, shellgrit and chicken feed. Choose pellets or crumble, NOT a seed mix as they are just a treat feed.
4. Keep the new hens locked in their enclosure for the first 2 weeks so that they learn where their food, water and roosting areas are located. After 2 weeks, let them out to roam. They will naturally return to their coop when they are ready.
5. Make sure they roost at night - NOT sitting in the nesting boxes. Block off the nesting boxes with a large ball or ice cream containers.
THESE ARE JUST THE BASICS. Follow me for more tips - check out my blog page on my website for more.
I am booked out for all of July (and the early part of August). PLEASE book as early as you can for July, December and January dates.
WINTER SOLISTICE is this Friday - 21 June 2024. Shortest day of the year.
This means our chickens will soon begin to lay more as extra hours of sunlight stimulate them to lay. Expect egg laying to increase significantly by September.
Fully booked out for July school holidays

Please do not believe everything you hear about the Bird Flu. Bird to human transmission is highly questionable. The Mexican man who the WHO told us died from complications of the Bird Flu did not die from the Bird Flu. Completely fabricated.
And the WHO has just been called out on it.
Mexican Health Secretary Jorge Alcocer has refuted claims made by the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding the cause of death of a 59-year-old man in Mexico.
MITES IN THE COOP? YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS.
For a NATURAL solution to get on top of the mite problem INSIDE of your chicken coop, check out BugsForBugs. There is one predator for mites that we can use, called Hypoaspis.
It is recommended that you release one tub per 5-20 chickens every season inside of the coop. BUT you MUST clean out the coop regularly! I cannot stress that enough. BugsForBugs are NOT CHEAP, but as a qualified Horticulturalist, I can highly recommend this company for amazing predators to take care of the bad bugs for you.
