purebred Gavilan Hatch brood hens

purebred Gavilan Hatch brood hens

At Game Fowls Ranch, our Gavilan Hatch breeding stock is maintained with uncompromising devotion to strain purity, physical conformation, and constitutional health. Known historically for their medium-to-high station, broad back, bright red eyes, pea combs, and clean yellow or slate legs, these brood hens represent generations of selective preservation breeding. Gavilan Hatch hens make superior primary brood females, demonstrating steady egg production, high hatchability, and excellent mothering ability.

Every Gavilan Hatch brood hen undergoes a comprehensive physical evaluation prior to shipment:

• Conformation & Health Assessment: Checked for strong bone density, broad back structure, firm muscle tone, bright clear eyes, clean vent, and faultless feather plumage.

• Conditioning & Parasite Control: Maintained on high-protein breeder and layer grains (18%–20% gamebird ration), routine deworming protocols, and external parasite preventative care.

• Safe Live Shipping Packaging: Transported inside specialized, climate-ventilated live poultry shipping containers fitted with organic moisture-rich nourishment (apples/cabbage) and soft absorbent bedding to ensure stress-free travel.
