Kirsten Welcome to Purple Tree Pets
We are a small suburban farm and creative studio in the Shoalhaven, which is part of the NSW South Coast, Australia. We have an amazing opportunity where we live in being able to experience both a beach and rural lifestyle.
About our pets
We care for and breed beautiful and rare Buff Orpington Ducks. They are an attractive breed of waterfowl and are considered to be a threatened species of duck.
Orpington ducks will be sure to entertain you as they happily forage in the garden and splash around in their provided water source. Learn More
We also have some lovely chickens including Silkies, and our free range rainbow layers which include Araucanas, Marans, olive and easter eggers. We will have fertile eggs available to purchase from our online store.
Our other pets include our two dogs, a munchkin cat, guinea pigs, axolotls and goldfish.
I am currently studying to become a vet nurse and also volunteer as a member of Wildlife Rescue South Coast.
On my blog I will be sharing articles related to pet care, poultry and wildlife rescue.
Designs & Creations
I have a background in graphic design and other creative ventures. You may see in the future some pet related items listed for sale in our online store which I have personally designed and created myself.

Our New Name
Purple Tree Pets & Poultry was previously known as Going Quackers. We’ve had a name change in 2024 to incorporate some of our other pet related ventures into the one website. The name was inspired by the giant jacaranda trees that hang over our barn and provide shelter to wildlife.
While Jacarandas are not native to Australia, they have become naturalised in many parts of the country and are a common sight in many parks, gardens and streets.
In Australia, Jacaranda trees typically bloom in late spring to early summer. Our Jacaranda trees usually flower around the same time that our poultry is in the prime of their breeding season. It is the most exciting time of year on our farm when everything comes alive and our chickens and ducks are laying consistently.
However, it is not long before the flowers have all dropped off and there is a blanket of purple covering the ground. Then the cycle starts again…
