Point of Lay Pure Breed Hens.
New for 2012, we will be breeding more of our own pure bred stock. These birds should be available from Mid-Late Spring. Due to high demand on these breeds, we cannot gaurentee they will always be available so please contact us in advance to find out what is available or when the next batch of birds will be ready to go to new homes.


Bantams
Silver Sebrights
The Sebright is one of the true bantams. That means there is no standard (large) version of the breed. The breed was developed by Sir John Sebright early in the 1800s and has the distinction of being the only breed of chicken named for an individual.
This Breed is very popular for its eye catching apearance and gental nature.
Partridge Pekins
These little birds are very popular both in the fancy for showing and with backyarders as pets. There Fluffy legs and feet only add to their popularity. They are very tame and pretty. They are also popular as broody hens, being able to cover a fair number of eggs and sitting very tightly.
The Colouring of the birds gives them the Partridge and the Breed is Pekins. 






Golden Laced Polish
Looking like she has a pom-pom on her head this is the most popular of the crested breeds. It is also one of the oldest, being known as a pure breed as early as the sixteenth century. She is easy to look after and a clam and docile breed.
Golden is the Colour of the bird, Laced is the blavk lines outlining each feather, and Polish is the breed.





Lemon Sablepoots
Also known as 'Booted Bantams', This hen also has feathered feet. She is a rare breed in the UK. During the spring and summer Sablepoots lay a huge number of eggs, up to 5 eggs a week each which is fantastic for a rare breed. They are extreamly pretty and are a popular breed to own.




Large Fowl

Buff Orpintons
Buff Orpintons have very laid back personalities and make great pets. The original Orpington, the Black, was developed in England in 1886. The Buff is a colour variation of that breed. They are average layers and like most pure breeds they tail off during winter months. They are very popular for their large fluffy looks and their gental nature. 








Cream Legbars

This breed was created from the Barred Rock, Brown Leghorn and Araucana chickens. The breed was developed in  the 1930's. This breed is an 'auto-sexing' breed which means the chicks can be sexed from hatch as the males and females look distinctively different.
This hen is popular as 75% of legbar hens lay a blue/green egg. Our hen is a proven coloured egg layer, which passes a higher chance of her offspring also laying the coloured egg. Many people like a diversity of coloured eggs from their hens. She is a light bird, but lays around 200 eggs per year.
