I'm glad the cold weather hasn't stopped the birds laying. Excited to get these in the incubator to test fertility.

On the left pure breed Copper Black Marans, on the right Marsbars (Oliver eggers)

Who's looking forward to hatching some themselves?

🐥Chicks🐥

Plenty of day old chicks available (we hatch every 2 weeks all year round)

Today hatch

🐣 USA silkie bantams

🐣 Polish bantams (including frizzles)

🐣 Skylines (blue egg layers)

🐣 Marsbars (green egg layers)

All chicks are vaccinated

All of these breeds are unsexed, other hatches will contain day old sexed chicks

As always, we offer a free cockerel return on any of our unsexed chicks

All feed and supplies are available in our onsite shop

Full starter sets and advise available

It's a great time of year to have chicks, they need to stay inside for 6-8 weeks which is a bonus as they'll avoid the weather and they'll be ready to go straight outside in the spring.
