16 – 20 month old Chooks

$5.50

 

Nomadic Chooks from Tom’s Paddock (available January 2021)

These chooks have been raised at Tom’s Paddock from day old. They have been raised out on pasture from 6 weeks old learning to become the best free range chooks they can be.

The first year of egg production is the best year for producing poaching eggs, Tom’s major market place. These chooks are still laying and will do so for several years if well cared for.

“I treat my girls with respect. I give them freedom to run, scratch for grubs, bugs, and worms, and peck their way around a genuinely mobile free-range environment of perennial grasses: natives, ryes and clovers.” Tom Abbottsmith Youl

They are very well rounded chooks having lived in a mobile pasture based system for 16 – 20 months. They make great pets and will entertain and provide eggs for your family to enjoy. Tom feels that a forever home with you is the best place for his treasured girls to end up, which is why they are so competitively priced (less than a dozen eggs and she will pay for herself…!)

Please enjoy and care for these chooks as much as Tom has. . .

Chooks make great pets!
