School House Heritage Hens

Welcome to School House Heritage Hens.

We are a young family living in an old country school house in the Northwest of Tasmania. We breed and raise a variety of pure breed heritage chickens. We have a love for poultry, including breeding, genetics and showing. We believe in getting our children involved in all areas of our small homestead and it’s amazing to see them grow and learn.

Both my partner and I work in education and love to give back to the local schools. I currently assist with a poultry program at the local high school where I work and intend to expand to other schools in the area. This program give the students responsibilities and teachs them animal husbandry and genetics. Profits go back to the school and spare eggs are gifted to the canteen and cooking departments.

Here at School House Heritage Hens we offer fertile eggs, chicks, pullets and breeding groups in a variety of breeds.
Breeds include

Barred Plymouth Rock

Australorp (blue, black pen)

Silkies (white, buff pen hatch both and some partridge)

Sapphire Rock hybrid sexlinked

Blue layers and males make good meat birds

Buff Orpingtons

Blue black splash Orpingtons

French Wheaten marans (blue and standard)

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will stay for our adventure as we grow our family, home and hobby.
