It's Cleaning time!!
At The Chicken Lady, we believe quality starts LONG before your hens arrive at your doorstep.

You might find cheaper pullets elsewhere, but do you know what goes into rearing them?

✔️ Thorough shed cleaning and disinfection between flocks to minimise the risk of mites and disease transfer.

✔️ Careful rearing and management to ensure our pullets are healthy, strong and well grown.

✔️ Ad-lib feeding in a free-range environment, giving our girls access to quality feed whenever they need it.

✔️ Perch training and preparation to help our pullets settle into their new homes.

✔️ Careful handling and delivery because their welfare matters right through to the moment they reach you.

Here’s something worth knowing…

A poorly grown pullet may still go on to lay eggs, but she may never reach her full lifetime production potential.

Good nutrition, careful management and proper growth during those early weeks make a real difference to the number and quality of eggs she’ll produce throughout her laying.

Behind every flock we sell are countless hours of washing sheds, disinfecting, feeding, moving birds, perch training and making sure everything is just right.

It’s hard work, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Because when you buy from The Chicken Lady, you’re not just buying a hen. You’re investing in the care and quality that’s gone into raising her.

The Chicken Lady – Quality pullets, raised with care.

GOOD FEED = HAPPY HENS & GREAT EGGS!

Did you know that what you feed your chickens has a big impact on their health and egg production?

Your girls need more than just kitchen scraps and a bit of grain to keep them laying well!

🌾 Protein – Helps support egg production, feather growth and overall health.

🥚 Calcium – Essential for strong eggshells! Not enough calcium can lead to thin or soft-shelled eggs.

🐓 Vitamins & minerals – Help keep your hens healthy, active and productive.

🥬 Kitchen scraps – A treat, not a main meal! Too many scraps can mean your girls miss out on the nutrients they actually need.

💡 OUR TIP: Feed your laying hens a good-quality, balanced layer pellet or mash as their main diet, with oyster shell grit available for extra calcium.

🌾 DID YOU KNOW WE STOCK FEED TOO?

We stock Weston Peak Layer Pellets, making it easy to get your girls started on a quality layer feed when you pick up your new chooks!

Remember, your hens are working hard to produce those eggs, so giving them the right nutrition makes all the difference!

Well-fed hens are happy hens! 🐔

NEW CHOOKS ON THE WAY? GET YOUR COOP READY!

A little preparation goes a long way towards helping your new girls settle in!

✔️ Give the coop a good clean and make sure it's dry, secure and ready for its new arrivals.

✔️ Have fresh water and good-quality layer feed available from day one.

✔️ Make sure there's plenty of space for your girls to explore and get away from any bossy hens!

✔️ Adding to an existing flock? Aim for similar numbers of new and older hens where possible and provide multiple feeding and watering spots to reduce competition.

A happy, settled flock means happy hens and plenty of eggs to look forward to!
