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.

I have got some rubber chippings off you. Can I just say it is wonderful. I am mud free and I can see my chickens' feet.

Thankyou, Mrs Julie Hammond

Nutritional Value of an Egg

Eggs are a source of high quality protein, essential for building and repairing body tissue. Muscles, organs, skin, hair as well as antibodies, enzymes and hormones are all made from protein. Protein is composed of 20 different amino acids. There are 9 essential amino acids the body cannot make, so they must come from foods.

Eggs are one of the few foods considered to be a complete protein source because they provide all 9 essential amino acids as well as 9 non-essential ones. With a biological value of protein a 93.7%, eggs score higher than any other food. The egg white consists mainly of high quality protein. In fact, the protein in an egg is so ideal that it has been used as the standard against which other foods are judged. Protein is the basic material of life. We need it for building and repairing body tissues and producing antibodies, which fight infection.

Eggs are one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D.
