Come grab some adorable new chicks. Cheeky and playful as ever. 😁
Getting everything ready. 😊
We're back .. as unfortunately is the rain!
This week we have some absolutely adorable Double laced gold Barnavelder pullets.
Ranging between around 8 weeks - 10 weeks old.
Their pattern and colouring is absolutely stunning.
Barnavelders are a favorite here at Buck Buck Chickens with their stunning colours, boisterous personalities and the fact the they have been our best layers this year.
Pullets are $45 each and are the perfect addition to your backyard laying collection or your show birds.
Message for more info or if you'd like to take some of these girls home.
All are purebreed, heritage breeds. We can not continue to hold birds for customers for more than a few days.
Thanks, Tai - Buck Buck Chickens
✨️CUTENESS OVERLOAD✨️
We have handfuls of sweet little fluff balls coming out of the hatcher this week 🐣
All ready to go to their forever homes ☺️

Silver laced Wyandottes are recognisable for their white feathers with the dark 'silver' black lacing. They are fluffy with round bodies with high proud heads. They have small red combs and wattles and yellow, almost peachy, legs, beaks, skin and feet.

Unlike some of our other breeds who's detailing comes in after their first molt Barnevelders grow in their striking arrow head like plumage from a young age. The beautiful colouring can already be seen on these sweet 3 month old pullets who are hang out here with the last of our darling Polish girls.

Keeping on with our featured babies from yesterday here is a short clip of our very curious light Sussex and Vorwerks pullets and cockerels who are moving out to their grow-out yard today!
Not necessarily the cutest "adolescents" the light Sussex grow to be stunning birds with black tails and hackles (feathers around the neck) and bright white bodies.
We hope these curious little ones enjoy the freedom of their new home!!

A little glimpse into the craziness in the brooder boxes with our little chicks.
Chicks in here are fresh this morning or up to a week old! They are always so busy, playing games, eating and catching some zzz's when they wear themselves out!!
What breeds can you see? Do you have a favourite?
The tap tap tap you can hear is some of our older ones playing!!
We could watch them all day 😍

We were lucky enough to watch this little darling come into the world this week.
*Welcome to world little one*
Always such an amazing experience.
On average the incubating period for hatching chicken eggs is 21 days.
From 'pipping' (small hole in the egg) a chick usually takes between 12 to 18hrs to fully hatch, however they could take up to 48hrs.
Although the excitement of it all makes it hard not too, it is recommended that you do not interfere in the hatching process unless absolutely necessary. The chick require time to adjust and interference can cause complications.

The only way anyone was going to get a look at her is by recording the 3 seconds she wasn't yet hiding!!
Meet our sweet, shy little blue laced red wyandotte chick. She's is newly hatched this week and is having none of this photography business!!
Wyandottes come in many different colours. This specific chick is from our Blue laced Reds, meaning they have beautiful deep red feathers with a blue lacing along the edge.
These stunning birds are one of our rarer breeds and are incredibly beautiful.

These new babies love to play!! Although a little skittish, when they spot you, they love to play the tapping game!! The Buff Orpington chicks always seem to be the most keen to play along!!

It's really rather entertaining watching everyone come out in the morning!! They are always so pushy and excited to start the day! This beautiful group are our Blue Orpington. Big and Fluffy!
The first out is our Rooster Bruce. He's quite friendly and very protective of his girls.
Blue Orpingtons are excellent layers and are wonderful pets for families and to add to your backyard flock, they are fun-loving and friendly and have been known to run up for a pat or a hug when they are used to being around people.
Can anyone spot the little Houdini who doesn't belong??!

Here we have some of our pullets and cockerels fluffing their feathers and enjoying the fresh grass early this morning. You can even hear some of our rather spectacular roosters greeting the day!
All of our chicken hutches are custom built to keep all our feather friends warm in the winter, cool in the summer and safe from predators all year round, they are portable so everyone is regularly moved to fresh new scratching ground, as well as being well insulated to minimise too many early morning announcements from our noisy gents!!
