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

12th Mar 2010

Hi Alison

I just wanted to say thanks for the course last week – I really enjoyed it, and thought it was very well put together. I can’t wait to put chickens in the garden now!

Thanks again.

Louise.

Hen Houses

We are proud to sell houses which are well designed and well made.

We have four designs, intended to be either used with the attached run, or be freestanding in the garden or in a large pen. The Princess is the largest house, while the Lady House will accomodate two or three chickens comfortably.

Medications

Vet Wound Powder 20g £3.50, 125g £7.20

This is a marvellous antiseptic powder for use on minor wounds, cuts bites and scratches. Ver effective on all animals.

Purple Spray £9

Contains chamomile, tea tree, lavender and arnica to cleanse, protect, soothe and aid natural healing. It contains a purple die to protect the wound against pecking from other hens, who are naturally attracted to red and will attack an open wound mercilessly on a fellow hen. It is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal and for use on humans as well as other animals. A 'must have' in the medicine cupboard.


Scaly Leg Spray £9

Scaly leg spray will repel the scaly leg mite while soothing and calming the irritation on the hen's legs.

Witch Hazel 500ml £7

The use of With hazel seems to be in decline, but it can be applied on bruises, sprains and localised inflamed swellings. It can also be applied to insect bites and minor burns such as sunburn. It may be used externally and internally, wherever there has been bleeding.

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.
