We breed over 100 varieties of hens and stock all your poultry needs! We supply quality day old chicks - point of lay chickens to domestic and small commercial customers, and are conveniently situated just off the A38 in Ivybridge. We stock an extensive range of poultry supplies, many of which we have tested to ensure you will not be left disappointed. Whether you’re just getting started or have kept hens for years, we are confident we can find what you need. Be it a house, drinker or even just a treat for your hens – we’ve got it all! Keeping free range chickens and hens at home or on an allotment is one of the fastest growing hobbies. Nothing is better than collecting free range eggs freshly laid by your own pet hens and chickens from your own back garden, then serving the eggs up to your family minutes later. If you keep your own hens you know what they eat, so no more worrying about additives in commercial chicken feed; your eggs will be naturally healthy and delicious. If you are new to poultry keeping, we will do our best to help you set up with everything you need and offer advice on poultry rearing, poultry housing, point of lay hens, pullets, their care and maintenance. If we don't know the answer to your question we will always try to find someone who does!

🐔 Fun Fact Friday! ☀️🌡️

Did you know a chicken’s comb is much more than just a stylish feature?

A chicken’s comb acts like a built-in radiator, helping them regulate their body temperature by releasing excess heat. That’s why you may notice their comb becoming brighter and warmer on hot days!

As temperatures rise, help your flock stay cool by providing:
💧 Plenty of fresh, cool water
🌳 Shady areas to escape the sun
🍉 Water-rich treats like cucumber or watermelon (in moderation)
🌬️ Good ventilation in the coop

Keeping your chickens cool means happier, healthier hens all summer long! 🐓❤️

Checking out the supplies 😍😋

🐔 A healthy flock starts from the inside out! 🌿

Just like us, chickens benefit from a varied diet and targeted supplements to support their health. Whether it’s promoting gut health, providing natural foraging treats or giving an extra nutritional boost during moulting, stress or changes in routine, the right supplements can help keep your flock happy and thriving.

Every flock is different, so choosing products that suit your birds’ needs can make all the difference. Healthy hens = happy hens! 💚

🌟 Come check out our amazing products on your next visit! 🐔✨

🐔 Fun Fact Friday! 👀

Did you know chickens can keep an eye on two different things at once?

Unlike us, each of a chicken’s eyes can focus independently, meaning they can search for tasty treats on the ground while staying alert for predators overhead. It’s one of the reasons chickens are so aware of their surroundings! 🌾🦅

Nature has equipped our feathered friends with some pretty incredible survival skills—and that’s just one of them!

What’s the most fascinating thing you’ve learned about chickens? Let us know below! 👇🐓

🐔 Fun Fact Friday! 🛁✨

Did you know dust baths are an essential part of keeping chickens healthy?

While it might look like they’re rolling around in the dirt for fun, dust bathing helps chickens remove excess oil, discourage external parasites and keep their feathers in great condition. It’s nature’s way of keeping them clean—no water needed! 🌿

Make sure your flock always has access to a dry, loose area for dust bathing, especially during wet weather or periods when they’re confined.

Does your flock have a favourite dust bath spot? We’d love to see it! Share a photo in the comments. 👇🐓

🐔 Our hens are ready to find their forever homes. ❤️
So much love, care, and hard work has gone into raising these girls, and we couldn't be prouder of how they've turned out. Healthy, happy, and full of character, each one has been looked after with the attention they deserve.

We've got big ones, small ones, fluffy ones, and fantastic egg layers – all ready to start their next chapter.

Our hens always find homes very quickly, so if you've been thinking about adding to your flock, we'd love to see you.

Pop down to Ivybridge and take your new girls home today before they're all spoken for. We can't wait to see them go to caring forever homes. 🐓🥚

🥚 Fun Fact Friday! 🐔

Did you know that the colour of an eggshell doesn’t change its taste or nutritional value? 🌈

Whether it’s white, brown, blue, green or even olive, the egg inside is just as delicious and nutritious! The shell colour is determined by the breed of the hen, not what she eats.

So next time you collect a colourful basket of eggs, remember—it’s nature showing off, not a difference in quality! 💚
