Poultry for sale...
Specialising in poultry, we offer a large selection of poultry, housing and runs, along with feed, equipment and treatments. We aim to stock everything needed to keep chickens and are constantly reviewing and updating our stock.

Our hens...
We have a selection of poultry which can be supplied in either large or small quantities throughout the year. There are many breeds available with various feather colours, markings, egg colours and characteristics.

Supplying 'point of lay' hybrid hens, we can also supply hatching eggs, chicks and young birds from our large selection of traditional/pure breeds.
We pride ourselves in keeping and selling happy, healthy chickens and encourage everyone to keep their own hens in the same way.

Introduction to chicken keeping training courses are held regularly in our barn, outlining the basics for keeping poultry and providing an opportunity to handle our hens. We also offer advanced courses, please see our training page.
