Wylye Valley Chickens - Breeders of rare & traditional poultry..

​

We have been breeding chickens for eight years and have over 27 different traditional breeds of chicken for sale. It is a hobby that requires a lot of work at certain times of the year and obviously a continuous year round commitment. We only breed pure bred chickens, and all are grass reared in large paddocks, vaccinated and wormed. Although there are plenty of short cuts that can be taken, we try at great lengths to avoid them! Traditional and Rare breed chickens offer such variety of character, appearance, size and colour of both chicken and egg!
Many people who visit us arrive already with a lot of knowledge, gained either from experience or books and internet. Generally everyone is astounded by the variety of chickens we breed. Some people prefer layers and may not believe our hens are worth a visit. But, if I can persuade them to come and see our hens they usually appreciate the variety and quality that cannot be found in a hybrid. Some even take a couple of hens away with them to "jazz up" their current flock of chickens and make it a collection.
If you are not sure what rare breed of chicken you'd like, come and have a look and see them for yourself .
If you want some interesting and amusing pets to teach the children how to look after animals, a few hens at the bottom of the garden to ensure you have a fresh supply of free range eggs or you are keen on traditional breeds of poultry..... WE CAN HELP YOU!
