I had my original 4 hens from Karen in January, and another two at the end of March. Both Karen and husband are very helpful and friendly even when newbies like me ask what must be fairly dumb questions!!
When I get my next coop ( ) I'll be going back.
Karen also does hatching eggs etc. |

Another thought - it might be worth giving Karen a ring to check stock levels - I know since Jamie & Hugh did their bit Karen's been extremely busy!
If you use a sat nav or AA routes - the post code will take you to the local tip.......... the farm's across the road!! (Yes, I speak from experience!!)

| What types are you getting? Are these your first hens? Our original four are one each of Crested, Snowbell, Schwarz, and Sweetie, and the two newer ones are a Cuckoo and a Blue. |
