rare breed hens
2023 is going to be an exciting year for us, being able to offer more very rare breeds than ever before. Especially popular (and rare) are our beautiful Silver Deathlayers from Germany, the gorgeous Pita Pinta Asturiana from the Asturias region of northern Spain and the amazing Ayam Ketawa (Indonesian Laughing Chicken) with its crow sounding just like a human laugh! We also hope to be able to offer the world's tallest chicken, the Indio Gigante. We believe that we are the only breeder in the UK with a group of Indio Gigante.
SOLD OUT UNTIL SPRING 2023
Seasonal birds for sale
