It can be quite difficult rehoming cockerels, so we were really happy to find a great home for Percy, he has been rehomed along with 6 ex-battery hens. We miss this little chap all ready. He used to strut round the place as if he was 10 ft tall and not the little bantam he…
Elsie could be a bit grumpy and so was here for quite a while. She has now gone to live in THE most amazing place with a bespoke huge hutch and run. The lucky little girl now also has a husbun called Harry – they make a fantastic couple. We await photos and updates!

Beanie was a real gem. Unfortunately he had to be seperated from his mum as he was too old. Fortunately he has now found a friend called Winston. They had a bit of a chunter when they were introduced but we hope that they will be fine together. Winston appeared to be more interested in food…
