There are breeds of all shapes and sizes with an array of different plumage colours, chickens that are good egg layers, dual purpose birds (meat and eggs) and hens that are bred more for their beauty. We are a family run business with children often helping us feed, collect eggs, and cuddle our chickens, one daughter even has her own breeding group of Silkie's, so we are in an ideal position to help families looking for child friendly hens. Chickens are divided into two categories, Large Fowl and Bantam. Click on the images below to view all the breeds in each category.
