As many of our followers may know we have recently hatched 19 butties here at the Homestead which we are pleased to announce are ready to go to their new homes, all of our chickens are all hand reared and will interact with humans so if you are looking for a new addition to your homestead then why not start your own flock of chickens with a group of mix breeds from your local poultry farm here in Havant.
There are many reasons to keep chickens at home, including:
There are many benefits to keeping chickens at home and here are just a few of the main reasons people have told us to help them make up their minds to keep chickens at their home.
- Fresh eggs: You can enjoy fresh eggs from your own chickens that some say are higher quality than store-bought eggs.
- Pest control: Chickens can help control pests in your garden.
- Fertiliser: Chickens provide free fertiliser for your garden.
- Companionship: Chicks can be fun to watch and can get comfortable around you, trusting you and recognising your voice.
- Sustainable living: Chickens can help reduce waste and improve soil quality.
- Peace and quiet: Chickens are generally quiet during the day, only making some noise to announce they've laid an egg.
Start your own flock...
We have a wide range of chicks available for purchase directly from our farm and if you fancy a go at hatching your own then do check out our fertile egg range, if you would like to find out more then please click on the shop now button below and lets us take you to our chicken shop page.
