About Hooked on Chooks
Farming Practices
We are committed to the health and wellbeing of not only our chickens but the environment as well. Our chickens are kept in predator proof coops when not free ranging, and are protected by livestock guardian dogs while out and about.
Our Products
We are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest-quality eggs and chickens. That's why we carefully monitor every step of the process, from hatching to point of lay, to ensure that our birds are healthy, happy, and of the utmost quality.
What do we offer?
We sell and post fertile eggs all around Australia with great success. For locals, we offer pickup of eggs, chicks, pullets, point of lay heritage breed hens, and breeding groups. We attend markets regularly, and host poultry workshops for those interested in learning more about caring for their feathered friends.
The risks of posted eggs
Buying posted eggs is a risky business at the best of times, but good packaging and only sending fresh eggs definitely helps. We do the following to ensure your posted eggs have the best chance:
1. Post on a Monday (sometimes Tuesday depending how far the eggs are travelling)
2. Only send eggs laid from Thursday-Sunday (eggs are dated upon collection)
3. Individually bubble wrap each egg (yes, it’s tedious and takes a while)
4. Post in express Eggspress cartons
5. Keep an eye on tracking and get on top of any issues straight away
Once the eggs have been posted it’s out of our hands and we can just hope that the post isn’t too rough with them. Please read the Terms and Conditions for more information, but it is important to understand the risks of posted eggs and ensuring you are comfortable with them before ordering.
