Our Brown Shaver pullets are young hens coming into lay for the very first time, with their most productive laying lives still ahead of them.

Brown Shavers are bred for excellent egg production and can produce around 300 eggs during their first year of laying. Just a couple of hens can give you a dozen eggs a week, and you can collect them straight from your backyard!!

✔️ 18 weeks old (actual hens shown - photo was taken on Monday)
✔️ Perch trained
✔️ Calm and easy to manage
✔️ $38 each

Spring is a great time to add a few younger girls and maintain your household egg supply.

Orders are essential, and we’ll be finalising numbers for each route shortly.

Order online now at: www.thechickenlady.co.nz/store

Please share this post or tag someone along one of our routes who might be ready for a few new ladies in their life!

Fresh hatch of day-old ladies have arrived today 🐥🐥🥰

These will be our first point-of-lay pullets for 2027 😍

18/09/2026

Our November point-of-lay pullets are out enjoying the last of the evening light tonight. They’re moulting at the moment, so it’s a sea of feathers but they’re certainly getting inquisitive!

Great advice! This is arguably even more important for super high performance laying hens such as Brown Shavers and Hylines.

14/09/2026

These ladies are currently 15 weeks of age and living their best free range life! Order now for delivery in a few weeks time…chances are we’re coming somewhere near to your place on one of our delivery runs!!

Many of you know our pullets are friendly, but our last batch is TOO FRIENDLY!

So, we live about 10 mins drive from the farm. I’d been out with the pullets, then driving around the farm for a while before heading home.

I thought I was going crazy when I could still hear a chicken talking to me when I got out of the ute in my driveway…until I looked underneath!

The wee lady was absolutely fine, proceeded to pop down for a scratch around the garden, before a first class trip in the cab back to the farm!

As a say, a wee bit too friendly!
