Golden Campine
These little ladies have big personality, striking plumage and are prolific layers.
We keep the lovely golden campines. This is an ancient European breed that was developed in Belgium and takes its name from that region of the country. The interesting fact about this breed is that the males and females look very similar in plumage colour markings. The roosters are hen-feathered as they do not have pronounced sickle feathers or pointed neck or saddle hackle feathers. The roosters are showy fellas and love to strut their stuff and impress the girls. The campine has great character: sometimes aloof, sometimes friendly. Once this bird is comfortable with who you are they will happily approach you. They are alert, active birds and love to forage and free range. If penned make sure the pen is secure and netted over as they will be over and out and exploring in no time . The campine was developed primarily as an egg layer and we find ours reward us regularly with lots of lovely white eggs.

We've used Appletons for a few years now and their communication and service is fantastic and are always very transparent in regards to laying times and what is going on at the farm when we may ask about specific eggs. We will continue to use their service for sure!!

I ordered before Christmas and had amazing service, as although the colour I wanted was out of stock, one was found and sent. Excellent service and quick delivery. Many thanks

Very kind helpful efficient service. We asked if there was a video how to assemble, there is not but really not necessary as we managed and are really delighted with our Aviary for our three Fantail Doves. They have settled and are very pleased when you walk-in to clean their birdbath and top up feed etc! Thank you both very much.

Delighted with my Chicken Fencing, very easy to erect and does a great job, as does the Easy Care Drinker. I haven’t used the Poultry Safeguard Concentrate yet but I’m sure it will be just as great
Thank you Appletons

This is the second chicken fence I have purchased. I now have one around the chickens house and one around the vege garden to protect it when the chickens are let out daily! Easy to put up and great on on the slopes. Terrific service again, thank you.

I ordered leg bands and they were dispatched quickly. As it was such a small order it would have been good to have had the option to have the items mailed to me as the courier cost more than the order! Very good service though.

I was so pleased with my first purchase that I ended up buying a second Easy Care Drinker for the Girls. Highly recommended! Thanks again for the prompt delivery!
