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.

Incidentally, I think your web site is really good. And trust me, I don't say that lightly.

Dear Alison

I thought you might like an update on the chicks, who are doing very well! They are really big now, especially their feet, and are growing lovely wings and tails. They love to perch on the edge of the brooder and watch what’s going on in the classroom (see attached photo) and they eat and drink a lot. I am leaving the light off more and more as they were getting quite hot and panting. I’ve been turning it on at night though. They seem comfortable with this arrangement, so if you think it’s ok then I’ll carry on like that.

Incubator Hire Broody Disaster

We have basic incubators which don’t have the high visibility factor of the ones we hire to homes and schools. These are cheaper to hire and are intended for people who want to hatch eggs, but don’t need to see the chicks hatch. They are also for people who need an incubator in an emergency, where a broody has abandoned her eggs, for example.

These incubators are priced to be collected and returned by the hirer.

We will supply:

INCUBATOR PACK

  • • Incubator – fully automatic
  • • Candle Lamp
  • • Instruction sheet
  • • Support and advice if needed
Cost of Hire

  • 1. Incubator, candle lamp: £20 for three week, £30 for four weeks.
  • 2. Instruction sheet is hired free of charge.
  • 3. There is a brooder hire available. Brooder hire is £5 per week.

Deposit required

1. Incubator : £200

2. The Brooder deposit will be covered by the incubator deposit.

The deposit can be paid by cash or cheque and will be returned in full upon the safe collection of the latter of the incubator or brooder.

DISCLAIMER

Whilst we make every effort to supply fertile eggs, there is no guarantee that all the eggs will hatch.

Bridgetown Primary School

Bridgetown Primary School in Stratford upon Avon had an incubator on one week hire and a brooder for a week just before Easter 2010. They set up a webcam on the incubator and encouraged the children to take photos and have put the footage and photos on their website. Click on the link to see their school website to see the excitement the chicks generated!
