Morning chickens
The girls going outside for a bit of sunshine 🌞
We still have point of lay hens in a good range of colours available. 🐔
Hybrid flock
The girls are making light work of clearing an area to the side of the barn for us! Even the stinging nettles are going! 🐓
Grass Snake rescue
We had a visitor here at the weekend!🐍
We were alerted by a commotion in the chicken barn and found this grass snake slithering along the corridor. It was very lucky to have escaped the chickens as they certainly would have killed it! It was excreting a very strong smell (resembling rotting flesh) which apparently they do when in distress🤮 We carefully removed it from the barn and placed it in the undergrowth in a quiet area of the farm.🐍
We are open 10am to 4pm Saturdays and Sundays. Come and say hello to the chickens! 🐓🐔
Hybrids
Our new flock of Hybrid hens are settling in nicely 🥰🐔
Something seems to have unsettled the ‘boys’ in the barn! Could it be the arrival of lots of new ladies?? 😂🐓

Hive Assembly Course
Our Beekeeping tutor, Oliver, will be joining us again on Sunday 7 April for our 'Build a Beehive' day. This is a fun, practical day spent learning how to assemble a beehive from a flatpack kit. All tools, fixings, and flatpack hive parts are provided. You will take home a fully assembled British-cedar national beehive and frames worth around £200!
He will also be here for our popular Bee keeping taster day on Saturday 6 April.
Full details available on the website.
