The Poultry and Waterfowl Park
is a constantly developing area providing breed pens, ponds and rearing pens for a range of traditional utility breeds of poultry and waterfowl, all in attractively landscaped surroundings overlooking the mountains and the sea. Depending on what else we are doing with the farm and business, the birds we breed each year varies, but the park is open most of the year, learn lots about keeping chickens and ducks in a domestic environment, see housing and equipment in use, and then pick our brains. We have been helping people solving their poultry problems for decades now, so have more practical experience than those who are only recently joined the poultry fraternity. In the winter, please Contact Us for winter opening arrangements.
Come and wander round, make new friends, find out about the different breeds and why we think they are so rare.
We have hens, ducks, and geese and maybe you will want some of your own.
We would be delighted to advise you, without obligation.
We also rear Black Rock hybrid pullets, in our opinion the best commercial free range layer, and on the farm we have our own flock of Black Rock hens producing Eggs from our free range hens in the spirit of the law not just to the letter. You can taste the difference. Our customers come from far and wide, and there are many regulars taking eggs back to the other side of the country.
We are passionate about good breeding, and desparately sad about what is happening to most good old breeds in the most recent years. We aim to try and give you some ideas as to how to choose the best birds for you. It is also clear that there is some very weak information available online nowadays from people who have very limited experience, which is misleading many new keepers into drastic mistakes.
Hopefully 2009 will allow us to provide much more information about keeping birds, breeding, rearing, and avoiding the pitfalls of domestic poultry keeping..

At the farm we are constantly open to new ideas, and in 2008 a Local Producers Market started, held here, every First and Third Thursday of the month, from March to December.
The shop is full of feeders and drinkers, and lots more equipment, books and videos. All of which is available mail order around the country, along with our unique Electric fencing kits.
We also supply a wide range of feeds, including all the high quality, low waste wild bird feeds and seeds, as well as poultry feed - and can get feeds for other livestock and pets - please enquire - local customers only.
