Latest Chicken availability as at 5th January 2025

Our breeding stock have just just finished their moult and the hens are beginning their rest period. We have some hens at close to point of lay available now. Our plan is to get some dayold Hyline Browns in during February. These should be ready to lay late Autumn which will give eggs over the winter. Winter eggs are only available in new hens. Hens that have been through a moult will probably not lay over winter. We have some beautiful Swedish Flower Hens now and a few Salmon Faverolles left from our 2024 hatchings. Faverolles are not yet laying and the Swedish are due to start laying in the next few weeks.

We are planning two new breeds for 2025. Lavender Leghorns which will lay a white eggs and Opal Legbars. I have no idea what colour the Legbars are going to lay. I am hoping for blue, but who knows.

Breaking News!!!!

Teacher chicken

Exciting development. Our chicken keeping and incubation courses are now ONLINE. See our Poultry Courses Page for details so you can START ONE TODAY.

Easy to follow

We are hoping that people will find the easy-to-follow bite size chunks an enjoyable experience. It is crammed with masses of information you should know about keeping chickens. It will take you on a deep dive into the fascinating world of this wonderful creature. We guarantee that you will therefore learn things that will make you think about chickens in a totally new light.

Getting it right

It will help you to make good equipment choices, and get your husbandry right. Spotting illness quickly is a biggie because unless you are able to spot sickness, it can rapidly get way out of hand. A slow or wrong diagnosis can then be catastrophic for the chicken.

Easing the burden

Getting the right coop for example will make the cleaning out of your chickens a 10 minute job rather than a real thankless task. We help you get it right, first time. This saves you money and time and who doesn’t need some of that?

Benefits

Chickens are enjoyable however making poor choices can take the shine off it very quickly.

Premium Chickenguard

We are now able to offer Chickenguards for your coops

Having chickens is great but getting up early in the morning however to let them out especially in Summer is not so great.

Fitting a chickenguard on your coop means you can have that lie-in or even just get up at normal time rather than chicken time.

Chickenguards will allow you to go out of an evening and not have to get back at dusk to shut your chooks away. Chickenguard will do it all for you. Your chickens will not demand that you become party poopers.

Battery powered with 4 AA batteries which last from 6 to 12 months.

Henlay Coop

We are now stocking Henlays Roost chicken coops.

Perfectly designed coops that are manufactured from 12mm thick recycled plastic sheets. That is thicker than most other plastic coops.

Built with both chicken welfare and human welfare in mind because humans matter too. They look and feel solid.

No more back breaking stooping or crouching to clean out. Contortionism is also not required. Just open the roofline, lift the well spaced perches out and hey presto, the entire coop area is at the mercy of your shovel and scraper.

Red mite will be spotted in double quick time so therefore you can treat if necessary as they have no where to hide.

Happy New Year 2025

Snow on a shrub

Wishing you all a happy new year with peace, prosperity and goodwill to all men, women and chickens!! We hope that this coming year is a fabulous one not forgetting those less fortunate than ourselves.

Our thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones before their time.

2024 was a wonderful year in terms of the number new poultry keepers it generated. We have also sourced some exciting new breeds which have been growing in order to breed in 2025. 2024 was the year of no Black Rock or Brown Rock as they were impossible to get hold of. We believe they will become more available this year.

We are open and have a limited selection of hens at point of lay as at 5th January 2025. This will increase as the year progresses so please visit our current stock post or ask us on our contact form.

Our planned breeds for this year

  • Lavender Leghorn
  • Salmon Faverolles
  • Black Rock
  • Brown Rock
  • Opal Legbar
  • Swedish Flower Hens
