Australian Charm

Productive, hardy birds with friendly personalities

Quamby chickens are a fantastic all-round breed for backyard poultry keepers. Developed in Australia to combine strong egg production with resilience and longevity, they offer the best of both worlds — dependable layers that remain hardy and easy to manage.

Whether you're starting your flock with fluffy chicks, raising young pullets, or adding ready-to-lay hens to your coop, Quambys are known for settling well into mixed flocks and thriving in Australian backyard environments.

About Quamby Chickens

A modern Australian breed designed for productivity and strength

The Quamby breed was developed in Tasmania in 2012 with a clear goal: to create a chicken capable of matching commercial layer egg production while maintaining the health, lifespan and temperament of traditional breeds.

The result is a robust and adaptable bird that performs exceptionally well in backyard and homestead settings. Quamby hens typically reach around 3kg in weight and can lay up to 300 eggs per year, making them one of the most productive heritage-style chickens available to Australian keepers.

Beyond their productivity, Quambys are appreciated for their friendly nature and resilience, making them a great option for families, hobby keepers and anyone wanting reliable egg production without the fragility sometimes seen in commercial hybrids.

Why Choose Our Quamby Birds

Carefully raised birds from a small family hatchery

At our family hatchery in South East Queensland, we focus on raising healthy, well-adjusted birds that thrive in real backyard environments.

Our Quamby chickens are selected for strong genetics, temperament, and consistent laying performance. From hatch to maturity, our birds are raised with quality nutrition, space to grow, and attentive care.

Because we breed and raise our birds ourselves, we can ensure they are robust, friendly and well suited to Australian conditions — whether you're raising chicks for the first time or adding experienced layers to an established flock.

“Perfect for Australian backyards — calm, productive hens bred for strength, adaptability, and high egg yield.”

What To Expect

From Fertile Egg to Hen

Once incubated, your Quamby chicks will develop into robust, steady layers with soft golden or buff-toned plumage. They mature quickly, adapt easily to changing conditions, and maintain consistent laying even in warmer weather.

These birds are low-maintenance, easy to handle, and built for Australian conditions. Whether you’re starting a family flock or expanding an existing one, Quambys provide the ideal mix of productivity and temperament.
