Lloyd's Poultry Farm - Pennant Hills

Details

Identifiernot specifiedDateMarch 1911Photographernot specifiedDescriptionIn 1906, a stone fruit, citrus and persimmon orchard on the corner of Laurence and Bellamy Streets, Pennant Hills was purchased by A. E. Lloyd, an engineer forced by his health to give up his career.
Finding the fruit trade somewhat depressed, Lloyd looked for other means of supplementing his income and, having no rural background, he had no reservations about the farming of poultry. His optimism was justified when, during the same week, he received a cheque for one pound one shilling, for twenty cases of fruit sold at the city markets; and another for seven pounds, for ten boxes each containing twelve dozen eggs.
To stock his poultry farm he chose White Leghorns and White Wyandottes, working up from 200 the first year to 2,000 when the farm was in full production.Physical FormatPennant Hills
