Pipinchick Appeal.

NOW REHOMED

THANK YOU ALL

We have an unusual lady needing a new home, she is a lovely Appenzeller hen, sweet and friendly but she is rather noisy and crows!!
She is definitely female but let’s out a whopping cockadoodle doo every so often and sadly her current owner is struggling as she’s in a built up area.
Can anyone who doesn’t mind the doodling offer her a lovely new home?
She is this year’s hatch from us, vaccinated and well cared for.
She’s based in Essex, if interested please comment and her current owner will contact you directly.

Thank you

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR OFFERS OF HELP

Pipinchick Appeal.

Can anyone help offer these 2 gorgeous Silkie girls a new home?

They are 17 weeks old and were recently purchased as a gift, sadly the recipient doesn’t feel she has the correct environment for them (a hard but right decision) and is looking for a new home for them where they will be happier.

They are this February’s Pipinchick hens, fully vaccinated and raised by us.

They are currently based near Cardiff but Rachel is willing to travel.

Happy Father’s Day to all you Chicken Dads out there taking care of your little Cheepers, hope you have a great day.

Flapping into the bank holiday weekend like….
A Pekin?
Hmmmmm? Not sure that worked but you get the idea 😂

Hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine and bank holiday, a gentle reminder Pipinchick are closed over the bank holiday, we’ll be back on Tuesday when the office reopens at 11am.

More Pekin Bantams available lots of colours to choose from and all available with nationwide delivery or collection.

If I were allowed my own flock (I’m told we have too many already… hmph!) I would have a whole flock of these as they’re my absolute favourite.
They are just such cute little dumplings, with poufy tails and sasssssss for days. But they’re also so people friendly, they love cuddles and fuss and quite literally follow you around the garden. One of the best chickens for both first time keepers and children as they’re robust, hardy and easy to handle.

10 day old Bearded Silkie babies!

The cuteness is too much!
❤️🥹🐣

These little guys are now over 4 weeks and the difference is crazy, we will take some more pics soon to see how much they’ve grown already.

This was over 10 years ago when we were still rearing mostly Silkies.
We had 4 small rearing huts we managed to buy second hand from a local farmer.

This is our boy, who loved the floofs and would spend ages cuddling them, it was such an exciting time for our children.

Owning hens offers such a great experience for children, it teaches responsibility, how to care for another living creature and because hens lay eggs they are so interactive and give so much back.
Chickens are very affectionate creatures and when shown love and kindness will return it, they make great pets!

Modern Game chicks.

These little guys are 10 days old here, they are so tiny and so friendly. They loved their little outing on Chicken Dad’s hand, standing tall and super confident, already you can see their long legs and tiny bodies, they’ve got to be one of my favourites.

Here’s a quick look breed guide to the Modern Game.

❤️ So inquisitive and friendly they make excellent pets, easy to tame and handle.

🌸 Perfect for small gardens, they won’t ruin your flower bed or scratch up your grass.

🇬🇧 A true British breed dating back to the 1800s!

🐓 With a calm temperament they play well with others. Well suited to all kinds of mixed flocks.

🥚They do lay and can manage up to 100 small white eggs a year, what they lack in laying ability they make up for in character.

Are these going on your spring chicken Wishlist?

When we say we deliver, we mean we deliver.

Just for fun we compiled all our deliveries for March 2023 in to one map, we always feel busy but looking at it like this kind of blew my mind! Every blue pin is a delivery completed in one month from this time last year, over 200 deliveries!!
🚚🚚🚚

Chickens delivered from farm to home by our wonderful drivers, we don’t use 3rd party couriers so all our hens come from our farm to you, no other farm pick ups, no cross contamination, first hand communication and strict bio security maintained, we stay 100% in control of your hens from the minute they arrive as day old chicks to the moment you open the box!
❤️🚚🐓

Our first deliveries for spring 2024 have just started with Chicken Dad heading up to Scotland today.

Exciting things are happening this year at Pipinchick.

Say hello to our new, 2nd farm site!! 👋👋👋👋
More rearing huts & more space = MORE CHICKENS!!
🐓🐓🐓❤️❤️❤️

We are going to have a record number of breeds this year thanks to our new rearing farm, which is nearly ready. These sheds definitely still need a coat of creacoat but they’ve done us proud as these were our rearing huts we started with in France! They’ve been put up and taken down twice, journeyed to and from France on a huge truck and here they stand, up, solid and still doing their job!

It took a lot of work to get this up and running this winter and hats off to the Chicken Dad, he did a great job managing this and keeping all the other cheepers happy and thriving, and with young Hybrid pullets soon taking up residence, it will have all been worth it.
Keep an eye out for new Hybrids this year including an Olive Egger!!!

Little Silkie floofs poking their heads out of their carrier, why is this so cute?!

What makes us different?

When we first started raising poultry, we honestly had no experience so we did not know a right or wrong way. We had, however, had many a bad buying experience, which was the catalyst behind creating Pipinchick, we just thought there has to be a better way…. So we made one.

We started rearing in a way we thought was best, in a way that seemed gentle and considerate to the chickens. We just never thought to get big huge spaces and fill them with 1000s of birds because it just didn’t seem right.
We started rearing very much in the same way we still do, often to other industry peoples’ surprise!

We are often in a conversation…..
Yes we raise 1000s of chicks a year, yes we still use these lovely little sheds, yes we still use natural light and enrichment in every one, yes we have a lot of these little sheds and yes, we separate breeds and only raise compatible. It’s just how we do it.

We’ve learned a lot over the years, it’s not quite as simple as all that but we really did start as we meant to go with the goal to raise awareness to the industry that not one glove fits all and to raise welfare standards for pet poultry rearing and we hope our humble little farm has helped to do this.

That’s what makes us different, we were chicken keepers before we were farmers. We truly love them like pets.

Farmer Mike and his chicks.

One of the best things about being a poultry farmer is getting to cuddle all these cute little cheepers.

Many hours get lost spending time with them

These 2 are baby Orpingtons, a new breed for us this season and they are beyond adorable, they are about 10 days old now and growing so well.
