Opening Hours

We are open weekdays in the evenings from 6.30pm to dusk. We are closed during the day from Mondays to Fridays.

At weekends we are open from 10.30am to dusk both days.

Boarding in and out is after 6.30 each weekday evening and after 11am at weekends.

Rehomes

We know that circumstances change and from time to time we get rehome chickens in. Our policy is to take hens in free and we rehome them at £5 to the new owner to cover their keep here. Unfortunately we get an overriding number of cockerels, and whilst we don't charge the new owners for them, they are usually here for a long time. We therefore charge £5 to take in a cockerel to cover our costs.

Contact us from the tab below if you are interested in taking some rehome hens or a cockerel for free, or need to find a new home for your hens.

Chickenalia

By popular demand we now have a dedicated site to all the wonderful things chicken related. You can browse and order online and pay with Paypal, or shop at the farm when you come over.

Weaners available in September

We have Gloucester Old Spot piglings born on 1 July. Our piglings are weaned at 8 weeks and are then ready to go to their new homes. At 8 weeks old they are £50.

Contact us by email to alison@spottypiggies.co.uk or from the Contact button at the bottom of the page to reserve them. They are popular, so reserving one (or two or three) is best if you can.

Hi Alison

Thanks once again for the fabulous course I left you feeling well informed and ready to get my chickens.

Due to delays in getting the garden ready I still haven't got my girls but the end is in sight and I should have them by next week at the latest.

Thanks again and best wishes

Karen

Children's Chicken Keeper Course £25

This Children's Chicken Keeper course is aimed at children aged between 8 and 12 who want to keep chickens and will give them the confidence to start on a very rewarding hobby.

The course runs for 3 hours with a maximum of 4 children to ensure that each child is given maximum attention. They will enjoy meeting other children with the same excitement in keeping chickens and previous delegates have made some firm friends on the course!

It is a practical course and our day will start at 9.30am with letting out our rare breed chickens, feeding them and cleaning houses due to be done on that day's rota. Eggs from the pens will also need to be collected. That is followed by a practical session on wing clipping, applying louse powder and how to handle a hen close up. After a break for a drink and a biscuit they will have the fun of using the eggs collected to make cakes to take home for a family treat.

The next course dates are on the right hand side.
