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

17th Nov 2009

Alison, just a note to say thank you very much for your pluck and gut course today.

I feel a lot more comfortable about despatching in the future, and as I have 16 boys to do within the next month, it has made me more confident on all aspects of killing and preparation for the table.

A great 3 hours, very informative and beneficial to me.

Kind Regards

Sarah Killick

Duchess House

The Duchess House with Run £220

The Duchess House comes complete with an attached run, or either the house or the run can be bought separately. The measurements are 27ins L x 33ins H x 44ins W. It has a nesting box to the side and the hens can be shut in at night using a sliding door. The roof is hinged for ease of access.

It is made from Scandinavian Pine which is tongue and grooved for additional strength and the floor is made of OSB (oil based board) which is longer lasting. The run has a door in the top for access. The run measures 60insL x 36 insW x 20 insH.

It is delivered flat packed and is easy to construct. It is treated with an animal friendly preservative and you can choose the colour from a range.

This house will hold 4/5 hens or 6/8 bantams and is manufactured in the UK. This house will also be suitable for raising meat chickens.

We have carefully selected the Duchess House for ease of use, value and quality and we are sure you will agree that this hen house meets all three.

If bought separately the prices are:

Duchess House £150

Duchess Run £75

Rubber Chippings

Dear Alison,

Just to thank you again for delivering the chippings so promptly, and to say how pleased I am with the difference they've made to the run. It's gone from a rather nasty sticky, messy surface, to a lovely comfy warm, soft, well-drained and easily washable one, which will last for ever I should think, and relieve me from the backbreaking chore of removing nasty wet soiled litter in heavy buckets, not good for an asthmatic!

The 10kg. bags were a good size and shape for carrying and emptying, so the job was quite quick and easy. I'm finding that the hens' feet keep perfectly clean now I have the chippings, so the eggs don't get muddy in the boxes. Also, the drinking water stays cleaner as the chippings don't blow into it as lighter bedding tends to do. I've just invented a 'climbing frame' for the hens, consisting of a platform made from an old shed door supported about 4ft off the ground on some old scaffolding posts, with an old ladder liberated from a local builder's rubbish heap for them to climb up, before paragliding down - very exciting exercise, and a soft landing for them on the rubber.

Best wishes, Virginia Lee
