Collection of your new chickens

Just make an appointment to come and visit us, and choose which birds you’d like to take home.  You can mix the breeds to create a flock of your own choice, or you can have all the same breed.  The choice, as always, is yours.  Advice can be given on which breeds would be most suitable for your family/set up.

Taking your birds home

A cat carrier or cardboard box is an ideal means of transportation.  Just ensure there are ventilation holes in the box, and preferably a little bit of straw for your new girls to snuggle down into on their journey.  The box can be about the size of a crisp box, but must be at least 18 inches tall.
