If you live in the Southern Highlands and want to start keeping a flock of laying hens or raise table poultry you can book a private consultation with us to learn how. As ex-organic egg and table poultry producers we have the knowledge to make your chicken keeping plans a reality. We will make sure you are able to keep poultry to high welfare standards with nutrition, housing, and health management practices.  

Keeping chickens is a delight. They give you delicious eggs, great company, and all you have to do is look after them right. This isn't difficult.., but would it surprise you to know that many, many people who keep chickens don't feed, handle or manage their health and welfare well? It is not deliberate, it's just because people don't know enough about chicken health, feeding, handling and treating common chicken ailments to do the right thing! You know you want to do the best for your flock and reassure yourself that the care you give is just right and will ensure that in return your hens continue to produce the best eggs in town, just for you.

Book a private consultation or come to a class and discover how we care for our laying hens so they are happy, stay healthy and continue to provide the best eggs for us and our customers.

This consultation or workshop will teach you how to correctly handle poultry, understand poultry behaviour; manage basic care – hygiene, housing and feeding; and administer basic health care for common ailments and injuries. It will help you recognise common injuries and illnesses and show you how to treat them as a first step.
