Here at Hen House Poultry we are passionate about chickens and in particular - Bantams. We keep and breed Pekins mainly for pets. All are bred for vigour, hardiness and interesting colours. We also keep and breed Crested Cream Legbars and Black-Red Araucanas.
Hybrid Layers are available all year round - Please see the Chickens for Sale page.
Dutch Bantams and Quail often available too. Call 01622 812564.
Throughout most of the year we hatch small batches of these breeds which are usually ready for sale at around 8-12 weeks old. We also sell hatching eggs and even day old chicks if the buyer is experienced in rearing them. So if you are looking for a few bantams for your garden, you know where to call.
Pekins origionate from China, but have been very popular in the uk for a long time now. They make excellent pets as they are tamed easily having a good nature, little space is needed for them and they offer the added bonus of laying lovely fresh eggs.
Crested Cream Legbars were developed as an auto-sexing (can be sexed at day old) breed which lays lovely blue eggs.
These birds have Leghorn, Barred Plymouth Rock and Araucana blood in their make-up.
Pretty birds and great layers.
