Our Layers

Brown Shavers

If you're looking for consistent and reliable layers, Brown Shavers are the ideal choice. Once at Point of Lay they will produce an egg a day until their first moult. Known for rarely going broody, these hens are highly valued in commercial operations for their exceptional laying ability

Something a bit different

Heritage Breeds

If you're seeking something a bit more distinctive, explore our heritage breeds. With stunning feather patterns, vibrant colors, and even a variety of egg shell hues, these hens will add charm to your backyard. While heritage breeds may not lay as prolifically as Shavers, they tend to have a longer lifespan and make excellent mothers, perfect if you're considering keeping a rooster or hatching your own eggs.
