EGGS:
We supply fertile hatching eggs to you throughout the breeding season which runs from early July to early January each year.
Orders for eggs open on June 1st, each season.
We express post Australia wide, (including Tasmania).
HATCHING:
We hatch our own chicks weekly during the breeding season.
This allows us to keep very accurate records on each pen and ensure optimum fertility for the eggs we supply.
We have a selection of chicks available for purchase each week from July to February.
BROODER BOXES:
Raising your own chicks and growing them up is a wonderful experience. If you want to give it a try, but don’t know where to start, we can help. We supply quality structural timber brooders, designed and made by us. Our brooders are professionally constructed and are fitted with a tagged electrical fitting. They provide your chicks with the right conditions and environment to grow up in for the first six weeks of their lives.
BREEDER SELECTION:
We breed as close to the current poultry standard as possible, with the birds that we have. They are all a work in progress and we are always improving, and are therefore sold as excellent backyard quality. A healthy and strong bird is the first and foremost of our selection criteria, and we only breed from mature hens, who have stood the test of time and are proven breeders of quality chicks. Temperament is also an important factor, as we choose birds with great personality – even the males! This passes down the lines, to create healthy, resilient and great natured birds for you to enjoy.
WELFARE AND HOUSING
By choosing Chloe’s, you can rest assured that the welfare of our birds is paramount. We pride ourselves on a very professional set up, including custom built large steel frame pens with ample run space. Not only are our birds are safe from predators but they are also safe from the stress of predators, both on the ground and overhead. Our pens are all fully roofed in both iron and galvanised mesh, and the floors have a dug in mesh barrier. There’s a cozy, yet well ventilated covered section at the rear of the pen and a bright open mesh sided area at the front. Our birds are checked a number of times a day and have a constant supply of fresh, clean water and premium feed. Each pen even has its own custom built swing for the birds to enjoy. In extreme weather conditions, our birds are kept as comfortable as possible. During the heat of Summer, iced water is provided, as well as fruity ice treats and the deep mulch is wet down. There is also plenty of shade and shelter to protect them from the elements. They are all free to scratch around, dust bathe, lay in the sun and enjoy life in a happy, low stress, comfortable environment.
ROUTINE CARE:
All of our birds are routinely de-wormed and treated for mite prevention. All birds we sell are also up to date with any required treatments, appropriate to their age.
