We keep a range of chickens, both traditional breeds and hybrids.

Amongst the traditional pure breeds are Welsummers, Light Sussex, Buff and Black Orpingtons, Dark and Gold Brahma, French Copper Maran, Silver-laced Wyandotte and Polish bantams.

Our large fowl can be kept for both egg and meat.
The cockerels, especially the Welsummers, produce a good meat, although they grow more slowly than commercial hybrids.

In addition, we have some hybrid egg layers such as White Star, Bluebell, and Black Rock and a selection of meat chickens including Mastergris, and Sassos.
