Letter from the Owner and Sole Director, Paul M Bester.

Good day and welcome to Chicken Mama's Poultry Pty Ltd.
Just a bit of history about our company. Our name was firtst Lohmann Chicken Mama's because of the fact that we only sold the breed Lohmann Brown Layer hens. After the influensy virus break down, we decided to move over to the Hy-line Brown chickens. Lohmann did not do so well at that stage.

Lohmann Chicken Mama's was registered in 2021 and recently changed the name to Chicken Mama's Poultry Pty Ltd in February 2025.
Chicken Mama's Poultry is located 30km outside Bela Bela on the Alma road.
We moved from Mantsole, Radium site to our new farm, Beechwood, Elandsfontein.

On our new farm we run flocks of 12,000 birds per month, in different ages in 5 poultry houses.
So we have plus minus 45,000 birds in stock at all times.
We have a very stricks bio-security program in place, to ensure that our chickens are virus free and in good health for our clients.

We are blessed with a great team of well trained people that will take good care of your order and sale as well as the well being of our chickens.
Bea, our sales and admin lady will always help you, and provide you with the best advise on your order and sale.

So from all of us here at Chicken Mama's Poultry, we just want to welcome you into our chicken family, and hope that we can make your layer sales experience one to remember, because we would like to see you again with your next chicken sale.

Best Regards,
Paul Bester - 071 388 5412

Essential Steps

Building a thriving chicken farm requires a few important actions to support your birds' welfare and the farm's success. Follow these easy tips to help you on the road to success:

Selecting the Appropriate Breed
Choosing the right breed is essential for the success of your farm. Each breed has distinct requirements and yields different outcomes. For instance, broilers are optimal for meat production, whereas layers excel in egg production. It is important to do thorough research.
Constructing an Appropriate Coop
A thoughtfully constructed coop is crucial for keeping your chickens healthy and safe. Make sure it offers plenty of space, good ventilation, and protection against predators.
Offering Healthy Feed
Providing your chickens with a well-rounded diet is essential for their development and overall productivity. Opt for high-quality commercial feed that suits the specific age and breed of your chickens. Enhance their meals with fresh vegetables, grains, and occasional treats such as mealworms. Always make sure they have continuous access to clean, fresh water.
Cleanliness
Keeping the coop and its surroundings clean on a regular basis helps to avoid the spread of diseases. To avoid contamination, clean the feeding area and drinking water containers regularly.
Wellness Checks
Keep an eye on your chickens for any signs of illness and reach out to a veterinarian if necessary. Ensure your flock is vaccinated against prevalent diseases and administer any required medications. Establish biosecurity protocols to avoid bringing in diseases from new birds or farm visitors.
Adequate Lighting
Proper lighting plays a crucial role in egg production and the overall well-being of chickens. They require approximately 14-16 hours of light each day. During the winter months, it's essential to add artificial lighting to complement the natural light and ensure consistent egg production. Opt for energy-efficient LED lights to help keep expenses down.
Allow Outdoor Access
Allowing your chickens to roam outside enables them to forage and display their natural instincts. Ensure the area is secure from predators and offers both shade, shelter, and clean drinking water.
Keeping Records
Maintain comprehensive records of your flock's health, productivity, and costs. This practice allows you to monitor performance, spot potential problems early, and make well-informed choices.

Signs of a Healthy Flock

Here are the top 10 signs to look out for to ensure your chickens and chicks are healthy:

Bright Eyes
Healthy chickens have clear and bright eyes wiht no cloudiness or discharge.
Clean Feathers
Their feathers are smooth, clean, and shiny. There should be no evidence of bald patches or pests.
Alert and Active
Healthy chickens are always moving, curious and aware of their surroundings.
Smooth Legs
Their legs should be smooth and clean without any bumps or cuts.
Consistent Eff Production
Hens should regularly lay eggs during their productive period.
Normal Droppings
Healthy chickens produce firm, brown droppings. Any changes might indicate illness.
Healthy Appetite
Chickens eat and drink regularly, any loss of appetite should be investigated.
Steady Weight
Chickens maintain a healthy weight, with no sudden changes.
Regular Breathing
Breathing should be regular and quiet with no wheezing or coughing.
Healthy Chicks
Look out for energetic growth and clean and fluffy down on your chicks.

Improve Your Knowledge

Check out these quick tips and tricks to improve your flock knowledge:

Age of the Chickens
As hens get older, their egg production naturally declines.
Poor Nutrition
Without a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, hens may stop laying eggs.
Lack of Light
Chickens need around 14-16 hours of light daily to maintain regular egg production.
Stress
Changes in the environment, predators, or other stressors can cause hens to stop laying.
Illness
Health issues or parasites can lead to a decrease or cessation in egg production.
Molting
During molting, hens shed old feathers and grow new ones, often pausing egg production.
Predators
The presence of predators can stress hens and disrupt their laying habits.
Improper Nesting Conditions
Uncomfortable or unclean nesting areas can discourage hens from laying eggs.
