Chickens

Many of our chickens are good layers, so fresh free-range eggs are frequently on sale. Ask at the office for details.

White-Crested Black Polish

This is the most popular of the crested breeds. Known as a pure breed from the early sixteenth century. Its most prominent feature is the 'umbrella-like' crest of feathers on its head, which impairs its vision.

Brahma

The ancestry of the Brahma goes back to China although much of their development took place in the U.S. between 1850 and 1890. Well-feathered shanks and toes enable them to stand cold temperatures very well.

Light Sussex

Originated in the county of Sussex, England more than 100 years ago. A general-purpose breed for producing meat and/or eggs. One of the best dual-purpose chickens.

Rhode Island Red

Developed in the American state of Rhode Island during the 1830's, by crossbreeding. This is an important world famous dual-purpose breed, capable of laying around 260 eggs per year.
