New Arrivals At Wrickton Hall | Keeping Chickens

Snowy, our White Leghorn

Wrickton Hall already has 6 hens to keep our family in eggs, 5 brown hybrid layers, and 1 White Leghorn. They produce enough eggs for our own consumption, and also our neighbours. One of our plans is to breed chickens to earn more from our smallholding and save some money in the process.

To enable this we will need to breed our own Warren hens to replace our girls once they stop laying. We are also intending to breed a variety of rare breed chickens that we will be able to sell to other chicken keepers, as well as a few birds raised for the table.

This weekend we bought the first of many new chickens and our first cockerel. Our new stock includes:

• 1 Rhode Island Red cockerel
• 5 Light Sussex hens
• 1 Black Rock hen (We couldn't resist her)
• 1 Speckledy hen

Below are a few pictures of our new chickens settling in.
