We will always specialise in the Sussex breed but over the last few years a few
other breeds have taken our fancy. Some for the markings others for the colour eggs produced some because they just look pretty.
So this year for the first time we are advertising additional breeds for sale.
We also hope to supply hatching eggs as well as Point of lay hens
Cream Crested Legbars - are fine layers of unusual coloured eggs. They are a smaller
chicken, dainty and inclined to be a little flighty , but with a little bit of effort you will have them feeding out of your
hand in no time! Their attractive and slightly comical plumage together with their unique egg colouring (Blue/Green) makes
them a sought after chicken.
Welsummer
- is a large, upright, active bird with a broad back, full breast and large full tail. Their head has a single comb, medium
wattles, almond shaped ear lobes and a strong, short beak. They have yellow legs which fade to pale yellow in summer and reddish
bay eyes.They lay lovely large dark brown eggs. The hens are friendly, easily handled birds which love to free
range and forage for food but can also be kept in runs quite happily.
Cuckoo Marans - Marans are easy to look after and if given the
space will be active. They are a disease resistant breed. Marans will produce an almost chocolate brown egg and are quite
placid in nature.The cuckoo coloured Marans, rang from a very dark grey colour down to silver. They have bright orange eyes
and white legs.
Pekin Bantam - A
very gentle bird. They are good layers of small eggs. They make excellent pets for children as they are tame. They settle
very well and require little space. Pekins can look rather pale and anaemic if not allowed on grass to forage. They tend not
to scratch around in flower beds so are good birds to keep in an urban garden. They are normally a robust and long-lived bird
that loves company and the colour hoices are nearly endless.
