About us
Hello from the Bullocks
We’re all about good, honest chicken breeding here—specialising in over 30 different heritage breeds.
Welcome to Granchester Heritage Chickens! Just a relaxed drive from Brisbane, our family farm is a bustling hub for all things chickens. We’re the Bullocks: Sammy’s the brains behind our beautiful breeds, Matt keeps everything running smooth, and the kids, Matilda and Alex, are our little farmers in training.
We’re all about good, honest chicken breeding here- over 30 different kinds, in fact. From the moment they hatch, our chooks are part of the family. We’re proud to be tucked away in Grandchester, a place where tradition meets today, and where the community’s as rich as the land we farm on.
At Grandchester Heritage Chickens, we take pride in offering a wide selection of heritage chicken breeds, each carefully raised and nurtured on our family farm in the scenic heart of Queensland. Our breeds reflect our commitment to preserving poultry heritage, with each breed chosen for its unique qualities, temperament, and adaptability. Whether you’re a backyard chicken keeper, a small farmer, or an enthusiast, we have a breed to suit your needs.
