lack of chicken breeds in newzealand

[Jessgotchooks]

Hi guys!!
I want olive eggers and marans so badly!!
But new Zealand has such a limit on beautiful breeds!
I guess that's because its a new country, 200 years of Europeans.
Can anyone send me olive egger and Marian chooks?
And is that even possible!?
I want them so badly!
So if anyone knows how to get animals from america to New Zealand, or if anyone is in nz and is willing to give me some hens of that breed, please oh please let me know!

Welcome to BYC! Unfortunately, I don't know anything about sending chooks to New Zealand, but if you will post this on some of the New Zealand threads at https://www.backyardchickens.com/newsearch?search=new+zealand+threads, perhaps someone there might be able to answer your questions. I hope you are able to get your OEs and Marans. Good luck.

There is a certain cross of breeds that produces an olive egger maybe the breeds used are available in NZ. Put "olive egger" in the search box and see what information comes up.

I know import regulations for NZ and Australia are quite stringent for poultry and even house plants - so it would be great if you could breed your own. Hope it works out for you.
