White House Stables

NEW: We now have a chicken plucker for rent! Makes processing your own birds a lot quicker and it really isn’t that hard.

Day old chicks
Every year we bring in hundreds of day old chicks starting in April, phone us from January onwards to place your orders.We take orders for any number of birds, you don’t have to take multiples of 25. From 2 or 3 to 100, whatever works for you. We’ll have a preliminary day old chick order of unsexed Cornish cross meat birds & for layers, red rocks, Isa browns & red sussex pullets due to arrive around April 5th from our favourite hatchery in Saskatchewan. Anstey have consistently provided us with vigorous healthy stock & reliable service year after year, our satisfied customers travel a long way to get the birds we bring in. We do not deal in commercial laying birds as we’ve learnt that their genetics aren’t suitable for backyard & free range type situations. As well as selling day old sexed laying birds & unsexed meat birds, we raise layers through those early weeks when they require heat & extra care for those customers who don’t have the time or set up to do it for themselves.
We have chicken feeders, waterers, incubators & even commercial 10 ft waterers, great for those raising 50 – 100 meat birds.
Eggs
We’ve been raising birds for over 20 years. We have a mixed flock of free range laying birds, we stick mainly with the proven cross bred layers but about 10% of the flock are “rare” breeds, ensuring genetic diversity & we hope survival in extreme conditions, against diseases & ferry crisis, meaning no feed on the island. Egg buyers are welcome to see our flock & know where their food comes from. Roosters run with our birds for protection & so our eggs are fertile & could be taken & incubated.
