These are all the hens we currently have available, looking for a new home. We probably won’t have anymore to move on till Pullets start coming through. If we can rehome most across the North Island we can do a delivery run.

If stated as hen then it’s 1+ but no older than 3 years. If Pullet then 16weeks to 1 year, POL means about to lay.

Gold Pencilled Hamburg Hen- $30
Buff Leghorn Hen- $50
Blue Andalusian Hens x2- $40ea (roo available)
Blue Minorca Hen- $45
Black Minorca Hen-x2- $45ea
Splash Minorca Hen- $45

Black Araucana Hens- 2x- $60ea

We also will have some crossbreed pullets as well as some purebred pullets of breeds we don’t need more of/don’t have anymore available soon.

Collection from Helensville, Auckland, pet bus or delivery run.

The delivery run would be going SH1 then across to Taranaki, then down to Wellington then back up along SH2 to Napier then SH5 to Taupo, then back up SH1 to Auckland. Delivery cost would depend but probably around $10-20 per bird, it’s $85 for 3 using A4dibble pet transport so still cheaper!

Please PM us if you’re keen, kost are laying at the moment!

Breed Directory-

We’ve set up a breed directory on our website. We hope this can be a valuable resource for breeders if we do end up having a bird flu outbreak. It’ll show how rare some of the breeds are and those who do breed them will know they need to keep on breeding them as well as give options to contact others if need be.

It would be absolutely devastating losing some of our rare breeds and as breeders we need to work together to preserve them.

If you are breeding then please fill in the form on the site below. If you don’t want your details to be public then please select that option and we will hold them.

Avian Influenza (Bird Flu)

As most of you will know bird flu has now made an appearance in New Zealand. Although it is a less infectious variant as the one authorities were worried about, and it is currently contained it is still a worry.

We are starting to prepare for a possible outbreak as it is a major threat to what we do as well as the rare breeds we have. Because we do focus on selling then any form of restrictions on the sale of birds can do a lot of harm to us, and with the rare breeds we need to be able to protect them if an outbreak does occur.

Currently we are doing the following:

- Preparing fully isolated runs for our rarer breeds, or breeds that are extremely good quality (12 in total including Sicilian Buttercups, Andalusians and our Golden Campines)

- Decreasing sparrow and myna bird populations by giving them less reasons to be here

- Selling off excess stock (which we were already doing) to lower feed costs

We will act accordingly if it progresses. Our next steps will be to stop all eggs and live birds coming into the property (this will include a temporary closure of the rooster return service). I won’t lock down all breeds ever, only what is important to keep so we don’t loose them forever. In a worst case scenario we will just have to go into a sort of hibernation where we just hatch out a few birds, just to keep the breed going until it gets back to normal.

If you don’t agree with what’s above scroll on. This is a real threat and it would be an absolute shame if some of our breeds disappeared for ever so work does need to be done to try preserve them.

From today onwards we will no longer be offering fertile Golden Campine eggs or day old chicks.

I’ve decided I want to put a lot of work into this breed, and although i already have over the past 4 years and have definitely improved the line selective breeding is needed to get the best bird. My goal in showing would be to get best bird in show with a Golden Campine, or at least best light breed! To do that I need to have multiple pairings to focus on improving what is already there.

At the moment I am down to 3x roosters and 3x hens, each will be an individual pairing. The ones I showed last season are overall good quality birds, I’ll then have a pairing of a nice shaped girl over a well coloured boy, then another pairing to work on the combs (I have always had trouble with their combs). I also have at least 10 Pullets coming along quite nicely, the oldest being 15 weeks.

They’re a beautiful breed and once I get them up to producing good quality birds 90% of the time I’ll start selling them again as eggs and chicks. Will still be selling Pullets that don’t meet what I’m going for though.
