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

Feeding Chickens

It is important that your chickens have a balanced diet. They will fill up on tasty scraps and corn first, if given the opportunity, so the trick is to make the nutritious food freely available and to restrict the bulky food. A balanced diet, as for humans, consists of proteins, carbohydrate, fats, minerals, vitamins and water.


The main food to give your chickens is layers pellets and or layers mash.

Louse Powder

We recommend using louse powder as a preventative measure against lice that can live on the hen. If you sprinkle some on the nest box floor when you claen it out they will get the benefit of it when they go in to ay an egg. If you sprinkle a good amount into their dust bath they will flick it over themselves as they bathe.

Chicken Keeper Book

Chicken Keeping is a joy. You will have a constant supply of the most yummy eggs you have ever had and the fun of watching your hen’s personalities develop as they go about their day, chatting to each other whilst looking for tasty morsels in the ground. I want to encourage every one who is considering keeping a few chickens in the garden to take the plunge and go for it. You will be amazed at how friendly and tame the chickens become and how much fun they are to have around.

I originally wrote this book to accompany the Chicken Keeper courses I run, but it has now grown to a point where it has become a book in its own right and I hope it will both inspire you to order your hen house now and reassure you that you will be able to cope with all eventualities in this most rewarding of hobbies.

The book is £15 with free P&P or collect from Hook Farm for Alison to personalise it to you. If ordering for postage, please send a cheque, payable to Hook Farm Chickens, to Hook Farm, London Rd, Hook RG27 9EQ.
