100% Pure Breed Black Neck Ostrich

We Supply Ostriches – The Largest Bird Species in the World

Ostriches are the largest living birds, known for their impressive size and unique characteristics. They also lay the largest eggs of any bird species. Adult male ostriches typically weigh between 63 to 130 kg, while adult females can weigh up to 155 kg.

Male ostriches are easily recognizable by their striking black feathers, with contrasting white primary and tail feathers. In contrast, females and chicks usually have grayish or whitish plumage, providing natural camouflage. Both male and female ostriches have long necks that are mostly featherless, giving them a distinctive appearance.

South African Black Neck Ostriches – The Ultimate Investment in Ostrich Farming

The South African Black Neck Ostrich is renowned for its exceptional fertility, fast growth, and adaptability. No other ostrich breed in the world matches the Black Neck’s fertility—females can produce over 110 chicks per season, making them the most prolific breeders in the industry.

These birds grow rapidly, typically reaching 95 kg by the age of 8 months. However, for optimal meat quality and yield, we recommend slaughtering only after 10 months of age.

Remarkably Healthy Meat

The meat of the South African Black Neck ostrich is in high demand worldwide. It’s not only tender and flavorful but also exceptionally healthy. Compared to chicken and turkey, ostrich meat contains:

Less cholesterol

Lower protein content
