Chickens/ poultry for sale – NEW BREEDS FOR 2026
Hybrid chickens are a combination of
pure breed chickens, bred together for a specific purpose - whether that be for
disease resistance, egg laying qualities, egg colour
or all round good looks! They are ideal
for a few hens in the garden and/or a large flock in free range conditions,
they are also well known for their excellent egg laying qualities. They tend to
be a disease resistant breed, are very friendly, and make super pets once they
have settled into their new home.
Our Point of Lay (POL) hybrids
are on average between 16-20 weeks old when they are ready for their new homes,
and they will usually start laying on average between 20-24 weeks of age. The chickens are also known as
"pullets" at this age. Our
birds are sexed, so you won't get a cockerel.
We do not sell hens any
younger than 16 weeks of age as they undergo a full 16 week vaccination
programme
to protect
them against Salmonella, Mareks Disease, Newcastle's Disease, Coccidiosis,
Mycoplasma and much more. No more
vaccinations are needed.
Examples of the colouration of the breed are noted
below.

Here are a few people’s fabulous comments and feedback on our
service, and the chickens we offer:-
“Thought you would like an update on our chickens we got from
you. Already Gin & Tonic do not run
away from us & love a cuddle, think they are getting to know their names.
We got our first egg yesterday & another today. believe it was Gin that
laid them as her crown & wattles are beginning to be more prominent. Hats
off to you for providing chickens who are healthy and already friendly. As your
information stated wear painted nails at your peril :) and anything sparkly
they love my rings, anklets etc. can't thank you enough for our 2nd batch of
chickens, feel like this time we are more experienced & know what we are doing.
Would recommend you to anyone who wants to keep chickens for
first time or again.” – Micky 07.06.24
“I just wanted to say thinks for breeding such lovely
chickens (I collected them from you in September). This is the third lot of chickens we have had
and yours are by far the friendliest and most endearing set we have ever had
- they have definitely become pets rather than egg producers and are such fun!”
– Jilly 29.11.23
“I just wanted to say how pleased we are with the new
chickens. They are lovely looking birds and super friendly. They have settled
into their new home very quickly and have already laid two eggs 👍”
- Paul 17.01.21
“I just wanted to let you know how
delighted we are with the 2 ISA browns.
They are an absolute delight!
Lovely characters – very friendly and quiet also (which is a bonus!). They have settled in well and are laying
amazing eggs with very orange coloured yolks.
Thank you so much – a great recommendation. We couldn’t be more delighted.” -
Anita 04.01.21
“I just wanted to let you know we had our first egg delivered
on Saturday - and then another 2 on the following days. We were so shocked as
the chickens are only 18 weeks - laying ahead of schedule. We are absolutely thrilled with how they are
doing, and can’t believe how ‘human’ and quirky they are.
I wanted to thank you again as from the moment we picked them
up it was clear that they had be very well cared for and comfortable in their
feathers. They’re clearly benefiting from a good start to life.” - Marc

Taking your birds home A cat carrier, dog crate or cardboard box with
ventilation holes are an ideal means of transportation. Just ensure there are plenty of ventilation
holes in the box, and preferably a little bit of straw for your new girls to
snuggle down into on their journey.
The box can be about the size of a crisp box, but must be at least 18
inches tall. |
