Hi all!
Getting a lot of messages at the moment so I thought I would pin a post to the top of my page so you know what’s happening.

We’ve had a slow start to the breeding season with low fertility rates, so as a result we don’t have many chick or growers.

This means we unfortunately won’t have any pullets, cockerals or chicks available for a little while. Probably around Jan/Feb next year.

We don’t sell fertile eggs 🥚

If you have any questions feel free to get in touch though!

Thanks,
Tilly

Meet Ducky!

Ducky is the little runt of the 8 week old pen but is by far the friendliest of the bunch.
Ducky got her name because she seemingly enjoys wading through water bowls 🤦🏽‍♀️
Ducky had an open wound on her head from being picked on at 2-3 weeks old, but she recovered well and only has a small bald patch now!

(Ducky and her siblings are not fs)

Poor silkies had to learn how to be ducks after the rain 😩 🦆

I’ve just finished cleaning out the soggy old bedding, but it looks like I will be spending the rest of my evening putting some better (hopefully more flood resistant) flooring and bedding down 🌧⛄️
