Chickens Poultry for sale in Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes

42 Chickens Poultry for sale in Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes

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.

FAQs

Are chickens considered poultry?

Yes, chickens are considered poultry, which is the category of domesticated birds raised primarily for their meat and/or eggs. They are one of the most common poultry species along with turkeys, ducks, and geese.

How are chickens classified in poultry?

Chickens are classified as a species within poultry and further divided into classes based on age, sex, and purpose such as broilers for meat, layers for eggs, roasters, and capons. There are also standard breed classes including American, Asiatic, Continental, English, Mediterranean, and others.

Do poultry chickens lay eggs?

Yes, female chickens, known as hens once mature, lay eggs regardless of the presence of a male chicken (rooster). Egg-laying ability depends on the breed, with some bred specifically for high egg production while meat breeds lay fewer eggs.

Why can't male chickens be used for meat in egg-laying breeds?

Male chicks from egg-laying breeds are typically not used for meat production because they do not develop the large breast and leg muscles needed for quality meat and are therefore not economically viable. As a result, these male chicks are commonly culled shortly after hatching, while male meat-breed chickens are used for meat.
