Rules for keeping and selling birds

The national poultry rules (regulation R153 of 2006, under the Meat Safety Act 40 of 2000) cover slaughter and the meat that is placed on the market. For free-range poultry and eggs, the poultry industry reports extra requirements since avian influenza. Ask the seller for the flock's health status and vaccination record, and check that moving birds to your address is allowed in your area before you pay.

Season and housing

Chicks and hens can be bought all year. Winter (June–August) is when heating a brooder or coop matters most, while summer (December–February) brings heat that calls for shade and water. Plan housing before the birds arrive, and ask the seller how old they will be on delivery, because age decides how much heat they need.

Delivery and what the price includes

Ask whether the seller delivers live birds to your city or whether you collect them. Feed is sold by weight in kilograms, and a 10 kg bag is one pack size in these listings. Ask whether the price includes vaccinations, boxes or transport, and quote your budget in rand. Shop prices for whole chicken or fillets per kg are for meat, not for live birds, so do not compare them with the bird prices above.

What to write in the request

  • Bird type, and breed or cross
  • Age, quantity and sex
  • Vaccinations and health records you need
  • Delivery time, city or region, and your budget in rand

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the birds in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo of the coop or run. The request is free for buyers. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive it and reply in the chat with their price, the age of the birds and the delivery time. Your contact details stay hidden, so you decide with whom to exchange them. Browse farm animals or pet birds, or start from the BlaBlaPrice home page.
