Animals

Every summer Huble Homestead is home to chickens to rabbits, which helps bring the historic site to life.

2025 UPDATE: Due to construction, Huble Homestead does not currently have chickens on site. They will be arriving once their home is built. The rabbits can be visited in the Animal Barn, where they are temporarily staying until their pen is built.

Rabbits

Over the years, the rabbit pen has been a popular stop for both children and adults. In addition to being a visitor favourite, the staff can frequently be found cuddling baby bunnies throughout the summer months.

 

Our rabbits spend the summer at the homestead and were house by the Gairdner family for the winter months.

At the moment, there are no chickens at Huble Homestead, due to the re-construction of the rabbit pen. Once completed, the birds at the site will be on loan from Rustle & Roam Farm

 

Popular with visitors, the chickens are always happy to be fed bread crumbs and blades of grass!

Wildlife

Huble Homestead Historic Site is located outside of Prince George, and is situated in the Northern BC wilderness. In addition to the animals kept on site, Huble Homestead has played host to a variety of animal and bird visitors throughout the years. When visiting, please remember that the area is shared with the wildlife in the area.
