Chickens, also known as hens or chicks in their early stages, have their origins in Southeast Asia, where they were first domesticated from the red junglefowl around 8,000 years ago. Widely kept across the United Kingdom, these birds have distinctive physical traits including colorful plumage — with males often being more vibrant — and fleshy crests called combs on their heads. Their combs and wattles help regulate temperature, making them well-adapted to various climates. Chickens exhibit unique behaviours, such as dust bathing to maintain feather health and establishing a social pecking order within flocks. Known for their friendly temperament, they are suitable for backyard poultry keepers seeking both egg production and companionship. Popular in the UK for keeping live chickens, many enthusiasts search for "chickens for sale" or "hens for sale near me" to start their flocks. Whether you are buying baby chicks or point of lay chickens for egg-laying, chickens are versatile and hardy birds, thriving in free-range or well-managed environments. Their care involves providing shelter, nutrition, and protection from predators, making them a rewarding choice for both beginners and experienced poultry keepers alike.

Fertile Micro Serama eggs. These eggs come from frizzle dads and smooth mums. For example one of our runs contains 2 frizzle roos and several smooth ladies. This ensures that we won't hatch any frizzle x frizzle = Frazzle, as this would be unhealthy and unethical breeding. These eggs are perfect for anyone considering becoming a chicken owner or with a smaller garden. They

For a loving kind forever home only. Sadly I have room for only one boy. Volkan is a cross between a handsome tailed bearded blue araucana crossed with an Orpington x Cream Crested Legbar hybrid and a gorgeous gold silkie, so carries the blue egg gene (c/o both Araucana and Legbar genes) meaning his female offspring will likely lay green eggs.

I’ve chosen my best layers to cross with my pure lavender Araucana roosters. The hens laid reasonably well right through the winter, even though the coop wasn't heated, and they are now in full production. They don't go broody, and the roosters are gentle, so these traits should pass on to the chicks. As the Araucana males carry two blue egg genes, when crossed with my
