| The Relaxed Poultry Flock |
| Chickens We keep a wonderfully colourful variety of chickens and try to have at least two or three different breeds of cockerels so we can breed for different colours and characters. We particularly love Indian Games as they are robust birds and make great broodies and we have a few pure and crosses. Other breeds we keep include Leghorns, Light Sussex, Speckled Sussex, Bluebells and Marans  |
Muscovy Ducks We have six ducks: Grape (black) and Orange (chocolate) our drakes and Apple, a Lavendar (pictured) plus Pear and Lemon who are black and white and Berry who is chocolate. Muscovies make excellent mums and each year they lay several batches of around 15-20 eggs and then go broody. Within six to eight weeks of hatching the ducklings can be sexed.  |
| West of England Geese We have six geese (two ganders and four geese): Tom and Jerry, Margo and Penelope, Barbara and Felicity, otherwise known as our Good LIfers!! They all do a great job of keeping the grass trimmed in the poultry paddock and beyond. West of England geese are an auto-sexing breed and so can be sexed at birth. Each year we hatch as many goslings as we can (usually in the incubator) and sell them on (they are in high demand so sell very easily).  |
Turkeys We currenly have four female turkeys: a pied (Napoleona), a black (Elizabeth), a bronze (Victoria) and a bronze cross (Mary). We are currently stag-less but have five youngsters (Summer 2020), one of whom will become the new Napoleon for next year (we are hoping for a Bourbon Red). Each year we raise lots of poults to sell on using both the females themslves (who can make excellent broodies) and our trusted incubators! Turkey poults are very endearing and sell well.  |
