A warm welcome to The Poultry Pages

When I was a child I came home with a book - Poultry Keeping for Beginners – which stated ‘All you want to know about poultry keeping whether you start with day old chicks, 8 16 or 20 week old chickens or pullets in laying condition’

This was not well received by my parents who felt getting me to clean out the rabbit hutch was work enough and the book went to the shelf to remain there for years until backgarden chickens eventually appeared to amaze the neighbours who loved the still warm fresh eggs.

On this site we've expanded over the years and now we cover most poultry that people keep at home for a hobby: chickens, bantam hens, ducks, geese, quail and turkeys. As well as articles and links to advice we've the best list available online of individual breeders – helping them to stay in business and you to find a local supplier of poultry.

For those needing individual help, we've a forum with a huge number of members able to share their knowledge, tips and help whatever the problem.

Finally we've a shop section where you can just browse or buy whatever you need from chicken coops to incubators.
