We primarily offer pet-quality pullets (12 weeks+) and pet-quality hens (12 months+) as availability allows. Our flock has been genetically tested and bred for several generations, so we know what to expect from our flock. We therefore no longer attempt to confirm the exact egg colour of individual chickens before sale. It is not practical to confirm every chicken’s egg colour before offering them as part of a collection.
Please note that when we refer to “crosses” or “hybrids,” this generally applies to Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers, but it can also include Ameraucanas, Marans, Leghorns, Silverudd’s Blues, and Wyandottes that do not meet breed standards. These chickens may exhibit discrepancies in eye, feather, or leg colour, or other traits that disqualify them from being classified within their respective breeds. As such, these chickens are designated as pet-quality backyard chickens.
Given our limited stock, chickens are offered only when we have suitable chickens available after deciding what to keep for our own breeding programme. This depends on the breeding season, so we may go for months, or almost a year, without offering chickens.
The Pullet/Hen Collections
We curate small collections of pet-quality pullets (12 weeks+) and, when available, pet-quality hens (12 months+). These collections are intended for backyard chicken keepers who want a colourful egg basket. See the list of possible egg colour variants.
The collections are offered only as and when we have chickens available, after we have decided what to keep from the breeding season. When a collection is posted, it will include photos of the chickens, their age category, expected egg colour, the price, and any relevant details.
Current prices for pet-quality collections and add-ons.
Bulk discounts apply to collection groups of 3, 4, 5, and 6. A duo of pullets or hens, or a standalone rooster or cockerel, has no discount. When chickens are added to a collection, the collection add-on discount applies so the final price aligns with taking the larger group from the start, where applicable.
Prices for a pet-quality pullet collection (12 weeks+):
- 3 pullets for R1 000 (usually R1 050).
- 4 pullets for R1 300 (usually R1 400).
- 5 pullets for R1 600 (usually R1 750).
- 6 pullets for R1 750 (usually R2 100).

Roosters and Cockerels
We only offer Easter Egger roosters or cockerels carrying two copies of the blue egg gene (guaranteed 2 copies), subject to availability.

Prices for roosters and cockerels:
- Cockerel, 12 weeks+, Easter Egger with two copies of the blue egg gene: R300 on its own, or R250 when added to a collection.
- Rooster, 12 months+, Easter Egger with two copies of the blue egg gene: R200 on its own, or R150 when added to a collection.
How to Book on the WhatsApp Group
When an offering is posted, it will include photos of the available chickens, the type of offering, the quantity available, the price, and all relevant details.
Please do not react to the post, as we use reactions to track availability.
- If the offering is not what you want, feel free to pass on it.
- If you would like to book, reply privately to the image or post with the word “booked”. It is important to reply directly to the post, since more than one collection might be posted at the same time.
- Remember to reply “booked” to your add-ons as well, such as a duo, rooster, or cockerel, as these could also be booked separately by someone else.
We handle bookings privately to avoid any pressure or intimidation.
After requesting a booking, please wait for confirmation.
The 🟠 reaction will be added to the group post to indicate that we have received a booking request.
If you are contacted shortly thereafter, your booking was successful. If not, the chickens have been booked by someone else.
We will then confirm your booking and add-ons. Once confirmed, the relevant post or posts will be marked with a ❌ reaction.
If the offering becomes available again for any reason, the reaction will be updated to ✅ to indicate availability.
