Providing day-old chicks and specialty poultry breeds to Broome and surrounding areas

Very sad news for me/from me.

I received news only an hour ago that we will be relocating to Perth for my partners company expansion. The hardest part was hearing it will be as soon as five weeks time.

Heidi’s Hatchery has been such a positive focus in my life. In such a short time, I have met so many amazing people and was truly looking forward to our year ahead with talks of having a market stall once Auskick finished, open days for anyone wishing to meet the chicks and learn about poultry, mothers group and of course our planned chick hatches.

There will be no need for Heidi’s Hatchery in Perth as there are already multiple breeders and hatcheries in high competition, so this is quite sad for me as I had only just begun my little hatchery journey and finally found my passion.

Posted eggs truly are such a fantastic option for incubating breeds we don’t have local access to. If you’re interested in incubating or wish to know what breeders we have used and fb groups to join etc, please feel free to reach out. There are so many heat tolerant breeds to choose from, all with different laying capabilities, temperament, egg sizes and colours.

For those local to the Kimberley, please join the Kimberley Region Poultry Genetic Exchange during breeding season to share what you have and keep the excitement for poultry ownership alive!

I have to offer up my two breeding teams to new homes which come from dedicated Perth breeders and €o$t a lot to have flown to Broome. I am hoping to keep the breeding teams in tact so someone locally can continue to offer fertile eggs and/or chicks to the community. I’ll be running at a huge loss moving them on but it’ll be worth it to know fertile egg and chick access remain in the region.

If you have any questions about posted eggs or incubation, I’m always ready to chat.

We have been lucky enough to offer our incubation services out of breeding season to a local resident with their own fertile eggs and they are excitedly midway through the hatching process! The enjoyment of watching them hatch never gets old.

If you ever hear of pipping and unzipping, pipping is when we first notice a tiny break in the shell which can be spotted on the front right hand corner egg in our video. A chick has unzipped the egg in the back left corner, almost like a zipper appearance which the chick makes with its beak prior to fully hatching.

This video was filmed last night with more chicks hatching overnight and the original chicks now looking like typical fluffy chicks once drying out.

NB- These are not our chicks so they will not be available from us. If the local has excess, we’re more than happy to assist in getting word out

Introducing our Broome based Pekin breeding team

Caramel the Pekin is Milliefleur in colour accompanied by his three girlfriends being Milliefleur, Milliefleur frizzle and Porcelain.

We are hopeful they’ll be ready for a 25/26 breeding season to offer day old chicks and fertile eggs for anyone wishing to have a turn at hatching out their own chicks via incubator or broody hen.

Breeding season is just around the corner!

Some breeders have a waitlist for fertile eggs so I will be preparing a list of your favourite and sought after breeds you’d like to be available this season, ready to order once waitlists or availability open.

Please comment below or PM with your breed requests/suggestions!

Please note:

ISA Brown and Hy-line eggs aren’t available for incubation to the general public so we aren’t able to incubate them.
If you’re after excellent layers, Australorp, Rhode Island Red, Plymouth Rock, Sussex and New Hampshire are all excellent layers.

Sexed on hatch breeds available to us include Welsummers, Cream Legbar (blue eggs!) and sex-link breeds where they’ve been bred specifically so they can be sexed by colour at hatch.

Our pretty little Wheaten Marans chick, the only one to hatch from a dozen eggs in our out of season incubation attempt.

We will be looking forward to incubating these beautiful dark brown egg layers again this coming season 🤎

Also available in a range of feather colours such as Black Copper Marans and Cuckoo Marans, the benefit of Wheaten being they can be sexed as early as 3 weeks of age

Oops! I accidentally broke the seal on this Dine-A-Chook Apple Cider Vinegar with Garlic by accident thinking it was one of my already opened bottles.

If anyone would like it heavily discounted to $10, please PM. Brand new, unused, broken seal as of 5pm tonight.

Our care package for Broome North Primary School as we noticed one of the hens looking less than her fabulous self.

Without inspecting her and not being veterinarians, we are hoping a dose of Cocciprol will help with some of her symptoms along with products aimed to help with a calcium and protein boost.

Get well soon Mrs brown hen
