Today we entered the Mt Pleasant Agricultural Show with some bantam Australorps. 5 pullets and a cockerel.

Blue pullet - 1st place
Black pullets - 2nd and 3rd.

Black cockerel - Best of Breed and Champion Heavy Soft Feather Bantam.

Very pleased with how our breeding has turned out this season, looking forward to the local club shows starting in a month or so.

All have found new 🏡

Bantam Australorps!

These are mini versions of the iconic heritage Aussie chook.

Prolific layers, you can expect 4 to 5 eggs a week, which is around 250 eggs per year. The eggs are a good size for a small bird.

They tend to remain productive throughout winter.

They are well adjusted to the Australian climate, tolerating both heat and cold well. They do require shade in summer like any other animal.

Very friendly and docile, they make great pets for kids, or perfect for a smaller yard or set up, perfect chooks to get started with too, but a great addition to an existing flock - without Isa browns!

We have plenty of pullets if you want some. To go in minimum of pairs. 💲2 5 ea
Also have cockerels if anyone needs one. (No cost)

Blue and black available.

All between 4 and 5 months old.

It's that time again.
Time to start thinning out what we have bred to pick possible show stock.

These are the first to be available.
All are pet quality only - some better than others.

We have 14 bantam australorp cockerels in blue and black and 9 bantam australorp pullets, 8 black and 1 blue.
Everything is between 3 and 4 months old (too young to go with adult birds at this stage so please be aware of that)

Also have a 12 month old black bantam australorp ROO

We would like to try and pair the pullets with a cockerel if possible. (No charge for cockerels if going with a pullet)
Pullets need to go with atleast 1 other for company if not going with a cockerel.

They make excellent backyard pets, very docile and friendly birds. They are good layers.

CKL 5 ea
PLT 25 ea
ROO 10

We are located at Lewiston.

There will absolutely be no holds after too many stuff arounds last season. No exceptions.

First day out of the brooder today for most these bantam australorps. The larger ones have already been out a few weeks.
A fair few already showing promise for exhibition next year.
We will be showing both blue and black next season.
Another few dozen have just hatched this weekend.

Hey everyone.
The remaining cockerels were rehomed this morning. They were the final available birds from last season.

This brings a permanent end to our bantam Rhode Island Red and Speckled Sussex lines.
(I am happy to try and point you in the right direction for a particular breed you might be after - just send a message and I'll see what I can do)

Breeding will start up again within the next couple of months and there should be a few available towards the end of the year.
The only lines for us next season will be bantam Australorp in blue and black, and standard sized leghorns in black and potentially exchequer (however these are likely to be very limited or unavailable as its a project line at this stage).

We don't take orders - anything we have available is posted to this page! We also don't sell fertile eggs so please don't ask.

Once again, our main purpose of breeding is for exhibition purposes, so availability will be limited to those birds who don't make the cut for showing.

Thanks for following our journey with exhibition so far, sometimes with more success than others, but that's the fun part - improving the lines.

We will try and keep this page updated here and there in the meantime with how things are going for next season.

Finally, we have a spare bantam rhode island red cockerel available.
He has placed in a few shows but hasn't done as well as the one in the trio.
He would be a good starting point, or a nice addition to an existing line.
Or just a nice little bantam boy to keep a few girls in line.

Under 12 months old.

Located at Lewiston SA.

PM any interest 😊
