Want to Purchase Poultry? Cheep!

Two of our entrepreneurial VET Ag. students, Johnny and Callum, are taking orders for chicks and ducklings from people interested in having a backyard flock.


The poultry hatchings at UCHSK have always been popular and now attract a high level of local community interest as people have become more aware of how handy and easy it is to have a couple of chickens or ducks in their yards.


Johnny and Callum are offering to sell unsexed chicks and/or ducklings with an initial deposit of $5 per egg, and additional $5 per chick and $10 per duckling, which is highly competitive in the poultry market. Families can choose whether to buy day-olds to raise themselves, or buy them fledged, which means when their feathers have grown in and they don't need to live under heat.


All profits will go towards the school farm. If you know of anyone who is interested in having backyard poultry, please let them know about this fantastic deal! The order form can be found on our website or by clicking this link.
