Nova Scotia Waterfowl & Gamebird Breeder Directory

Finding poultry locally shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Here’s a list of real, established Nova Scotia breeders - plus a few tips to help you avoid scams and bring home your flock with confidence.

Below you’ll find a list of farms and breeders in Nova Scotia who are real, established sellers – helping make sourcing waterfowl and gamebirds locally a little safer. If you’re looking for chicken breeders, you can find a list here: [Nova Scotia Chicken Breeder Directory]

Unfortunately, there are a lot of scammers out there who steal photos from legitimate breeders and try to sell birds that don’t actually exist to unsuspecting buyers. A good rule of thumb is to never send money to someone you don’t know, and if someone claims they’ll ship live birds to you, it’s time to keep scrolling. That’s simply not something that’s done within Nova Scotia.

While I can confirm that the farms listed here do exist, and I’ve happily purchased birds from a few of them, I haven’t personally dealt with every farm on the list. Being included here doesn’t necessarily mean I’ve worked with or personally recommend them all – especially as the list grows and includes more breeders over time. To keep things fair, farms and breeders are listed alphabetically by county and then by name, with no priority given.

As with any purchase, I encourage you to do your own research when choosing a breeder to make sure they’re the right fit for you. Follow best practices when vetting any breeder or farm, even those listed here, and always quarantine new birds before introducing them to your existing flock.

There are SO MANY more farms and breeders than this short list but I don’t want to include anyone without their permission so you’re only seeing the information from folks who have volunteered it.

If you’d like to be included in this list, please send me an email with your Facebook page, your rough location (county and nearest town name), what breeds of birds you offer and whether you offer hatching eggs. If you also breed chickens, you can include them as well and I’ll add you to the chicken breeder list at the same time. I will include anyone I can verify is legitimate (if I don’t already know you) in an alphabetical order list grouped by county.

Nova Scotia farms and breeders (or ones who travel here regularly and are willing to deliver) only please!

What Past Workshop Attendees Are Saying

Don't just take my word for it!

People leave with more than notes. They leave with the confidence to actually use what they learned, a guidebook they'll keep coming back to, and a clear sense of where to go locally for chicks, supplies, and everything else.

We moved to the local area and got chickens pretty quickly. Even though I had done a lot of researching and had already been keeping chickens a good while I learned so much! It was also beyond beneficial to have genuine local information on climate considerations, predators, suppliers, vets, community, etc. What you receive both in knowledge and thus confidence, the guidebook and materials, and also time spent with others doing the same thing, it really is an investment that gives you a lot more in return! Highly Recommend Feathered Fundamentals

What a great opportunity to learn from a knowledgeable, committed and generous leader. Krystal's preparation and guidebook are amazing. This course provides exceptional value, not only to those of us who participated, but also to the broader community, since we are better prepared to avoid mistakes, keep our birds healthy and help others do the same.

The workshop was awesome! The workbook is extensive, a great resource. But even more, Krystal's deep knowledge of chicken keeping and her willingness to share the her knowledge of the local chicken community, where to get everything from chicks, to supplies, and chicken care, really gave me a lot of confidence that I have the ability and resources now to care for my new flock.
