🐓 FAQ OF THE DAY 🥚

Can I still eat my eggs if I have a rooster?

Absolutely!

Having a rooster in your flock does not change whether the eggs are safe to eat. Eggs laid by hens are perfectly fine to collect, cook and enjoy whether a rooster is present or not.

The only difference is that if a rooster has successfully mated with the hens, some eggs may be fertile. A fertile egg is still an egg and is just as safe to eat as an unfertile one.

In fact, many people who keep backyard flocks with roosters eat their eggs every day without giving it a second thought!

So if you’ve ever wondered whether your breakfast eggs are still okay because you have a handsome rooster strutting around the yard, the answer is a big YES. 🐓❤️🥚

Do you keep a rooster with your hens? Let us know!

💛Help Us Help Your Birds💛

One of the things we’re most passionate about is helping people learn more about their poultry.

Over the years we’ve been fortunate enough to work with thousands of birds across many different breeds, ages and management systems. Along the way we’ve learned that many poultry problems aren’t always caused by disease. Sometimes they can be linked to housing, nutrition, environmental factors, flock dynamics, parasites or other management issues that can often be identified and improved once the full picture is understood.

That’s why we’ve created this simple checklist.

Whether you’re one of our customers, a long-time poultry keeper, or someone who has never purchased a bird from us at all, we’re often happy to share practical advice and point people in the right direction where we can.

When asking for help, the more information you can provide about your birds, their environment and what you’ve observed, the more likely it is that we can offer useful suggestions based on our practical experience.

Clear photos and videos are particularly valuable, as they can often tell us far more than words alone.

Of course, we’re not veterinarians and our advice should never replace professional veterinary care where required. However, sometimes a management change, environmental adjustment or early intervention can make a significant difference—not only for the bird in question, but for the rest of the flock as well.

We hope this guide helps make it easier for us to help you, and ultimately helps more people keep happy, healthy birds. 💜

One of the most common questions we get about fertile hatching eggs is:

“How do I order eggs for my broody hen when I have no idea when she’ll go broody?”

The simple answer is—you don’t have to!

Broody hens rarely give us much notice. One day they’re happily laying eggs and the next they’re determined to sit on a nest and raise a family.

Because we understand that broodiness isn’t something you can schedule months in advance, we keep some flexibility in our egg allocation system. If your hen suddenly decides she’s ready for motherhood, just get in touch with us as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to fit you in.

While we can’t guarantee every breed will be immediately available, especially during busy periods, we can usually find a suitable option and get you started on your hatching adventure.

So if you’ve opened the coop one morning to discover a very grumpy hen refusing to leave the nest, don’t panic—we’ve got you covered!

One question we occasionally get asked is whether we buy in chicks or fertile eggs from other breeders to sell on.

The answer is no.

All of our breeding birds are bred, raised and maintained right here on our property. The fertile eggs they produce are collected by us, incubated by us and hatched by us. Those chicks then grow on here under our care before joining our breeding program, heading to new homes, or becoming part of our farm shop offerings.

This means we know exactly where our birds have come from and how they have been raised from day one.

Maintaining our own breeding program allows us to focus on the traits that matter to us: health, temperament, longevity, breed quality and suitability for backyards and families.

It’s certainly not the quickest way to do things, but it is the way we prefer to do them. We believe there is real value in knowing the history behind the birds you bring home.

From breeding pen to incubator, brooder and beyond, it’s all our own stock, raised right here on our farm.

Our fertile hatching egg order books have been open for just a couple of days and some breeds and types are already filling faster than others.

For those who are still considering placing an order, we’ve put together a guide showing our current approximate supply timeframes.

As always, these dates are estimates only for our current bookings and availabilities right now.

We expect to begin seeing smaller numbers of fertile eggs available from July. During this time you’ll likely see us advertising eggs and we expect to have assorted fertile hatching eggs available in our farm shop most Saturdays. Availability will vary from week to week depending on supply from our breeding teams.

As the season progresses, we will have a greater supply every Saturday in our farm shop so that is a excellent way of securing some eggs for yourself especially because you can come in and choose individual eggs that we have on the day - we do not offer custom mixes in our pre-orders!

Larger pre-booked orders are booked to commence from the first week of August, allowing us time to build sufficient numbers while maintaining the quality standards we are known for.

If you’ve been thinking about placing a pre-order, now is a great time to do so, particularly for some of our more popular breeds and coloured types.

Thank you to everyone who has already placed an order. I’m currently working through all pre-bookings and confirmations. If you’ve already emailed through your order, please don’t worry—you won’t lose your place in line while I work my way through the inbox.
