They started selling some of their hens to customers wanting to keep their own backyard flocks. As more and more people started buying their hens, Jason and Giuliana started provid- ing a range of other products to keep backyard hens healthy, happy and active. Along with this, education and support for backyard chick- en keepers became more important for them over time. Eventually, they moved away from egg farming but kept selling their friendly, Hy- Line Brown laying hens. From their farming experience, Jason and Giuliana learned that the Hy-Line Brown was very suitable for families as they were placid, had lots of personality and were one of the best egg-laying hens around. Following their permanent move to Merricks, they are having an Open Weekend to celebrate! Open Weekend on 14th and 15th of March 2020 Visit Talking Hens at 3590 Frankston-Flin- ders Road Merricks between 10am and 4pm over the open weekend to talk and learn all about backyard chickens. On both days they will have face painting, petting zoo, cupcake stall (with all money donated to the bushfires appeal), craft activities and presentations on getting started with backyard chickens.
