Wilkamdai Poultry Information:
Wilkamdai Poultry
is set on a small farm in western Victoria. All our
poultry are bred in free range conditions with limited penning through the
breeding season. We also work in conjunction with
many close
friends who also have a passion for breeding various rare breeds.
Together , we aim to continue to improve quality & increase the population of some of the rarer breeds of poultry
here in Australia by providing practical information on the various
breeds that are currently available here in Australia to encourage renewed
interest in these wonderful birds.
Wilkamdai Poultry will sometimes have
limited numbers of stock or
fertile eggs available for those who are wanting some of the more unusual breeds
of chicken. If we cannot help you, then we will do our best to link you in
with breeders who can.
If you already breed a rare
breed, feel free to email us with your details & we will list you in our
breeders directory for enquiries.
