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.

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.

Chicken Boarding, 75p per hen per night

We have facilities to board your chickens while you are on holiday. You bring your girls over in a box and we do the rest. We even store the box or carry cage until your return.

We provide the accomodation, layers pellets, greens and lots of care and attention!

This is a service we happily provide to make your holiday plans easier. Unfortunately we are unable to take ex-battery chickens unless they are fully feathered up.

Payment is due on collection at the end of your holiday and may be made either cash or by cheque. There is not a deposit to be paid, but if you turn into a 'no show' where we have not been advised that the booking is cancelled then any future bookings will be refused.

The cost is 75p per hen per night, so three hens will cost £15.75 for a week for an example. Boarding in and out on a weekday is after 6pm and after 11am on weekends, so please take account of these times when booking the dates.

Contact Alison using the Contact button below to check availability and book your girls in. Book as early as possible as it does get busy in the school holidays. Please use email if possible as it is much easier for our records.
