The Breed
An Indigenous Bird Built for Africa
The Boschveld chicken was developed in South Africa by crossbreeding Venda, Matabele, and Ovambo strains, creating a hardy dual-purpose bird ideal for free-range and smallholder farming. Its resilience to local diseases and climate makes it well-suited to diverse African conditions. Boschveld hens are prolific layers and offer quality meat, making them valuable for both commercial producers and subsistence farmers. They adapt well to various housing systems, giving farmers practical flexibility.

The Boschveld Story
Farming from the
Heart of South Africa
Boschveld aimed to create a South African chicken breed suited for local conditions, providing real value to commercial producers and smallholder farmers. After decades of genetic selection from Venda, Matabele, and Ovambo heritage, the Boschveld breed became a significant achievement in South African agriculture.
The expansion into honey and pecan products emerged from the same ethos: artisanal, provenance-led, and deeply connected to the South African landscape central to Boschveld's identity.
