Free‑Range Brown Layer Mix – 1 Week Old Unsexed Chicks

Give your flock a strong, reliable start with our Free‑Range Brown Layer Mix — a hardy combination of Australorp and Barnevelder heritage genetics. These chicks grow into excellent brown‑egg layers with calm temperaments and strong natural resilience.

Raised naturally at the Garden Route Trail Hatch House, our chicks receive hands‑on care from day one, with access to clean environments, natural light, and a nutrient‑rich starter diet. This mix is ideal for backyard keepers, homesteaders, and small farms wanting productive, easy‑to-manage birds.
