Learn Humane Culling Technique

Alison is a DEFRA registered poultry slaughter woman and we run courses to teach you how to humanely kill a chicken. It could be because the chicken is injured, an unwanted cockerel, or a chicken destined to be the next meal.

You will be taught to kill a chicken quickly and humanely in a way that you will be able to use easily at home.

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.

I am selling my number plate, which is on retention, and hope that it finds another Mum who will love it as much as I did! It is £999 and is great value. It is listed on a number plate website for £1,650 and the difference is their commission.

Contact me by email if you are interested, contact details at the bottom of the page.

Testimonials

29th Sep 2009

Alison,

I just thought I would drop you a note to let you know how useful we found the kill, pluck, gut and bone chicken course. The course was excellent, being such a practical course and we had a fantastic stuffed boned chicken for dinner yesterday as well.

Thank you again.

Best wishes

Sue

Columbine

Columbines are £26 at point of lay. We do not have Columbines in stock.

The Columbine is an exciting new hybrid bred from Cream Legbar/Arucana stock. It is still being developed, but the breeders have now achieved a success rate of 80% blue/green egg layers and have decided to release the breed to the public market. Those which do not lay a blue or green egg lay an attractive range of pastel coloured eggs, so you can wait with anticipation to see what colour egg your Columbine lays!

The breeding programme also produces a varied coloured hen, from cream or tan through to blue and grey, or mottled feathering, often with a lighter hue to the breast. Some hens inherit the ‘hat’ crest and some do not, even the crest size varies, so each hen is very individual.

It is a nervy bird, even when well settled in its environment, so we do not recommend this hen as a first time chicken. It is, however, a very rewarding and exciting hen and well worth the wait to get some chicken keeping experience under your belt.
