Little Yarra Free Range Eggs

Little Yarra Free Range Eggs We are a small acreage focussing on sustainable farming. We will soon be producing lovely free range eggs, with more produce to follow in the coming year.

Our chickens roost and lay inside a mobile caravan that is moved onto fresh pasture daily. The chickens are kept safe from foxes behind electric poultry netting, and also have the protection of our old but trusty dog Sweep.

Behind the scenes of unpacking our newest arrivals! 350 Australorps and 50 Isa Browns, should we get some White Leghorns next time? πŸ‘€πŸ“

A big thank you to everyone that picked up their chickens from the farm today. We hope they are settling in well πŸ˜πŸ“πŸ“πŸ“

Our Australorp x hens will be ready for pick up this Sunday (17th May) between 8:30 am and 11:30 am, and Monday (18th May) between 5:30 pm and 7:00 pm.
These girls are almost 8 weeks old and are $25 each. They are expected to lay around 320 eggs per year, but will not start laying until they are around 20 weeks old. You will need to bring a box to take your girls home, and supplementary feed will be available to purchase. If you prefer to get your own feed, these girls will need to be on a β€œpullet grower” mix until they are 16 weeks old.
Pick up is from the main shed at Little Yarra Free Range Eggs, 150 Doon Road Launching Place (enter off Corduroy Road, the last driveway on the left).

From day olds to six weeks… it’s gone in the blink of an eye! Josie is an awesome protector of these beautiful girls, and has done her job with patience and grace (she also likes her new mattress in the shed πŸ˜‚).
Less than two weeks to go and we will be selling some of them… $25 each and we will post again when they are ready to go!

These little peepers have been hanging out near the main shed, but didn’t even last three weeks before they outgrew their quarters and needed more space! A quick conversion to the hay shed and they now have access to the warmth of heat pads inside their new shed and the fun of exploring the grassy fields outside.
We will be selling half of these lovely girls in 5 weeks time (when they are about 8 weeks old and well past needing additional heat), and keeping the other half as replacement birds for our farm. Get your chook pens ready, chickies are coming 😁🀭 πŸ₯
For those that don’t know, the breed is Australorp x. They will stay black, and are expected to lay around 320 pinkish coloured eggs in their first year.
Such a highlight for us at the moment.

Our petition is closing tonight and Cindy McLeish MP is going to table it in Parliament tomorrow!!
Whatever the outcome, we want to say a massive thank you to Cindy herself who has tolerated endless emails from us as we try to get our heads around correct processes and procedures, as well as managing our frustrations with nothing but care and professionalism. (Liz and Talin too!) πŸ™‚
Moreover, we want to share how truly grateful we are to have had such amazing support from our local community. We are very lucky to live in the Upper Yarra; this kind of connectedness does not exist everywhere. So to everyone that took the time voice your concerns, and to everyone who offered us a word of encouragement and signed the petition, thank you so much.
(Thank you feels somewhat inadequate)
Fingers crossed 🀞

All sold for now!!! Thanks for the great response 😁😁 πŸ“

We have about 100 second season layers ready to find new homes! These girls are around 15-18 months old, and although they are laying, we are having trouble trying to gauge a lay rate due to the erratic weather πŸ˜‚ Hens are $15 each and are available to pick up from Launching Place this coming Saturday morning (unless prior arrangements have been made)
Please text or messenger if you are interested
