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.

Testimonials

29th Sep 2009

Dear Alison

I am so very grateful to you for making it possible for us to have our chickens. Without your chicken course I don't think I would have felt confident enough to get them - it was just what we needed to set us on the road to chickens.

We decided to take on some ex-battery chickens and today they are scratching around in their run. I just love watching them! We are now waiting excitedly for our first egg!

Knife Skills Course £97

This course is for anyone wanting to make sure they get the best out of their knives; learn how to sharpen them, look after them and know which one to use when.

We will teach you how to use a steel, how to bone a chicken leg, how to fillet a fish and the different ways of preparing vegetables. Faced with a recipe requiring mirepoix vegetables you will not be phased after the course!

You will take home two boned chicken legs, a filletted fresh fish and assorted fruit and vegetables.

The course runs from 9.30 to 1.30pm, with a short break for tea and coffee mid-way.

The cost of the course is £97 per person.
