windmill hill city farm

The Farm hatches chicks from April to July and sells the young hens at about 12 weeks old. The price for a hen varies between £5 and £10. Fertile eggs are also available for sale. The breeds available are:

	Large Salmon Faverolles Although mainly kept as an ornamental breed, Faverolles are good layers. They are friendly, gentle birds and can become very affectionate towards their keepers so they are an ideal breed for children
	Welsummer Bantams Welsummers lay lovely brown eggs. They are friendly, easily handled birds which love to free range and forage for food but can also be kept in runs quite happily.
	Large Anconas Anconas are attractive birds which are not prone to broodiness. In fact, they are non-sitters and will produce a large number of medium size white eggs. They are alert and busy birds and are happiest foraging in the open air.
	Sussex Rangers Sussex Rangers are alert but docile and can adapt to any surrounding easily and are good foragers. Whilst they are quite happy to be free range, they will also be fine if kept in a confined space. The hens lay large eggs that are cream to light brown in colour.
