I am locking down the eggs for hatching, hopefully hatching is on the 30 December 2026 - the last batch for the year! very excited (as always) to get more quambies.

Quamby chickens are a relatively recent Australian heritage breed developed in Tasmania by retired biochemist Dr Gil Stokes, who spent about seven years selectively breeding them from English Sussex and New Hampshire stock to combine strong egg production with good meat quality. The Quamby hen can lay up to around 300 eggs a year, and the birds are known for being hardy, friendly, and excellent foragers.

I have also had a hen recently successfully hatch eggs - so far she is an egg-cellent mum! Is there anything more enjoyable than watching a clucky hen with her brood?!

🤞🤞 I can post on NYE with baby chick post 🐥🍾
