Live birds are collected from our farm at 3590 Frankston-Flinders Road, Merricks. We're open 10am to 4pm every day, including most public holidays.

We don’t deliver or post live birds. Please contact us before you visit so we can confirm the ages, numbers and availability.

We can provide secure, fully ventilated chick or chicken carriers able to safely transport three chickens in each. We’ll talk you through settling your new chooks in at home, and we’re only a phone call away afterwards.
