Welcome to Country Cacklers Hi and Welcome To Country Cacklers. We are a small Free Range Poultry Farm, located in Springdale, NSW, 1 hour from Wagga Wagga in the lovely Riverina area. Our love for poultry has grown over the past couple of years to the point where we decided it would be a good thing for us to share our passion with others and provide a range of Fresh Free Range Eggs and Poultry to the locals, as well as many IGA stores and Supermarkets. This part of our business was very successful although far too labour intensive for the two of us, as we were producing, marketing and delivering our brand, thus we have closed that side of the business to concentrate on growing out layer pullets for the general public, as well as the introduction of our 27 different pure breeds of chickens and 6 different breeds of ducks, as well as Turkeys and Guinea Fowl, which we have sourced from some of the top breeders and successful show people in Australia. Our beginnings in poultry started off with 8 Isa Brown hens, led by Juicy Lucy and an Isa Rooster, named Cock a Doodle. From these 8 little ladies and 1 eager boy we filled our incubator with eggs and started breeding a few hens to get us going. What started out a fun little hobby has now grown into a very successful and enjoyable business. We often comment on how great it is to sit back on our little farm doing what we both love to do and not having to go to work each day with the hustle and bustle of working in town. From meager beginnings we have grown into a thriving business, our first little incubator of 144 eggs has now been retired and we run 2 x 1200 egg incubators most of the year, filled with chicken, turkey, duck and guinea fowl eggs. We recently started selling our poultry from home with the farm being open most days from 10am - 5pm. Sales range from day old ducks and chickens up to Point of Lay pullets, Pure breeds, Roosters, grown ducks, as well as Guinea Fowl and Turkeys when in season. Each Sunday we head off to Canberra to the Jamison Markets where our range of poultry can be sourced, orders in advance are recommended, especially for the pure breeds. With the demand so high for Backyard Layers, we are now selling our birds in Wagga Wagga and Cootamundra, we hope to expand our selling venues over the next few months to take in West Wyalong. For those that produce eggs on a larger scale we are able to grow out up to 2,000 pullets at a time, either Isa Brown or Hy-Lines, depending on your preference, they can either be Barn raised or Free Ranged. If we can assist in growing out your new birds please dont hesitate to contact us. Aside from the live poultry sales another extremely successful part of our business is the sale of fresh Fertile Eggs. Our eggs are sold in dozens or mixed dozens and are available usually from June through to December each year. We send our eggs all over Australia and have exported to Spain and the USA. Please feel free to have a wander around our website, hope you enjoy. Gary & Debbie countrycacklers@bigpond.com
