ShowtimEGGS — fertilised premium hatching eggs
Fresh from our Narrawong pens: top Australian lines, packed with care, and posted express when you need birds to hatch. We also keep quality roosters and chooks for families raising backyard chickens across chickens Australia.
What we offer
Fertilised premium hatching eggs from the same flock you see in our gallery — plus birds when we have them. Message us for this week’s availability and fair pricing.
Chooks & roosters
Layers, breeding stock, and roosters when available — always matched to what we can stand behind. Tell us your setup and we’ll steer you honestly.
Genetics & breed notes
We keep top Australian lines and note egg colour, temperament, and yard context on each gallery profile — useful whether you’re buying from us or planning your own flock.
Pickup & visits
We’re on the Princes Highway at Narrawong — pickups and visits are by appointment so someone’s here to help.
Fertilised eggs — how we post them
Our breeding pens run two roosters with ten hens, from top Australian lines we have sourced around the country. When you order fertilised eggs, we pack them the way we would want them to arrive.
- Eggs leave no older than three days.
- We post on Mondays and Wednesdays by express post, timed for freshness depending on how far you are from Victoria.
- Each order goes in Mark’s egg-safe foam carton, packed point-down.
- Fertility follows the season — spring is strongest, winter is the quietest. We are honest about that.
- If your hatch rate is under 50%, we will send more eggs or refund half. Talk to us and we will make it right.
- Enquire first, then pay by PayID or bank transfer — we send the details when the order is confirmed.

Welcome to our farm
ShowtimEGGS — Roosters - Chooks - Eggs — on the Princes Highway is a chicken-focused place built on patience, pasture thinking, and respect for the bird. We select breeds for health and egg quality, rotate range when possible, and keep housing clean and predator-smart—priorities that line up with thoughtful poultry farming in Australia.
Our approach
We balance traditional husbandry with practical, modern care: fresh water always, balanced feed, and observation so small issues never become big ones. New keepers often start with our chicken FAQ before visiting the photo gallery.
What you get
Farm-fresh eggs with firm whites and vibrant yolks, plus the confidence that our birds are raised with consistency and kindness. Contact us to ask about availability, breeds, or school-group visits.
Chicken Breeds and Egg Types Explained
Understanding breed traits helps you choose reliable egg laying chickens for your climate, yard size, and family. Shell colour tells you about genetics—not whether an egg is “more natural” or more nutritious.
Brown egg layers and heritage favourites
Australorps, Rhode Island Reds, and Orpingtons are popular choices for backyard chickens Victoria enthusiasts love because they combine calm temperaments with dependable brown eggs. Hens in this group often suit beginners who want predictable laying through spring and summer while accepting slower winter production unless you add ethical supplementary light.
White eggs and high-production breeds
White Leghorn–style egg laying chickens are flighty but productive, often excelling on larger runs where they can forage. If space is limited, plan perches, overhead cover, and enrichment so active breeds do not pick up bad habits.
Tinted, blue, and green eggs
Some crosses and landraces lay eggs in beautiful blue, green, or olive tones. These colours are fun for CSA-style egg boxes and farmers’ markets, but the same feed-quality rules apply as for brown or white eggs.
Yolk colour and diet
Bright yolks usually reflect carotenoids from plants, insects, or quality feed—not “farm magic.” If you are comparing flocks across chickens Australia regions, look at bird health and freshness instead of yolk shade alone.
For breed-by-breed visuals, browse our chicken gallery. Our about page explains how we select for temperament and egg quality.
Choosing the Right Backyard Chickens
Whether you are in suburban Melbourne, a regional Victorian town, or reading from elsewhere in Australia, the right flock balances local climate, predator pressure, council rules, and your time.
Climate and housing
Victoria’s cool winters and hot northerly bursts mean coops need ventilation without drafts, shade in summer, and bedding that manages moisture. Match bird feathering to your microclimate—lighter breeds cope better with heat; heavier breeds may need extra shade and airflow.
Space, noise, and neighbours
Quiet, docile breeds reduce crowing headaches where roosters are restricted (many urban setups keep hens only). Explain your plans to neighbours, offer occasional eggs, and fence runs generously—goodwill keeps backyard chickens Victoria welcome in more communities.
Flock size and egg math
Three to five layers often cover a household that cooks with eggs most days. Plan for feed storage, veterinary access, and who covers chores when you travel. Our FAQ on egg laying chickens covers moulting, broodiness, and winter slowdowns.
Fresh Eggs and Sustainable Poultry Farming
Sustainable poultry farming Australia can look like rotational runs on pasture, strict biosecurity, heritage breed conservation, or simply small-scale layers with low food miles. The thread is responsibility: healthy soil, healthy birds, and honest food.
Pasture, feed, and food miles
Fresh eggs shine when hens eat well and lay into fresh nest material daily. Local grain, kitchen-garden scraps, and managed foraging can complement a complete ration formulated for layers—consult poultry nutrition guidance rather than guessing on protein and calcium.
Biosecurity and flock resilience
Wild bird contact, shared equipment, and new birds without quarantine create risk. Simple habits—footbaths, dedicated coop shoes, rodent control—protect both hobby flocks and commercial neighbours. ShowtimEGGS shares this mindset on our about page.
Why small farms matter
Independent growers keep rare genetics alive, shorten supply chains, and answer questions big labels cannot. When you support regional producers and learn best practice for chickens Australia conditions, you reinforce a more transparent food system.
