Home Visits & Delivery
We understand not everyone finds it easy to handle their chickens or spot problems with them so we offer a range of home visits to help you care for your hens. If the service you are looking for is not listed please do contact us.
​
For those who struggle to handle the heavy feed sacks etc. for a small charge we can also deliver your feed & products within the local area and unload it in a place of your choice as well as offering nationwide courier delivery.
​
Day & evening appointments available.

Rather than charge per bird treatment we charge by time. Extra 15 minute increments of time are charged at £5.
- The cost of products needed to treat the hens is included, meaning you don't have to buy lots of products you'll never use! ​

We offer a few options if you are going away on holiday.
1. You can either bring your hens to here to stay with us in our Omlet holiday 'chalets'.
2. For larger flocks or if you prefer not to move them, Meg (who works here) has her own Smallholder services business offering home visits and house sits for smallholders. She can come and do a daily check of your hens, top up feeders and drinkers, collect eggs, clean out etc - Please see her separate website for details by clicking here
