Safe & Clean Chicken Boarding
The coops are thoroughly cleaned and sanitised in between bookings and will be placed on a fresh patch of grass. Permanent areas will be sanitised. All of your hens will be safely locked away at night and let out again first thing in the morning.
Please note – we cannot accept any birds that are sick. All birds will receive a thorough health check when they arrive and we reserve the right to refuse admission of birds that are showing signs of infectious disease/injury or are in poor condition.
All birds must be in fully integrated groups. If any aggression within the group in observed then we reserve the right to separate birds and charge accordingly for any additional coops used.
All Inclusive
Your hens will receive layers pellets and fresh water daily. If you would prefer your hens to have the brand of feed they are used to then please bring it along and we will happily follow your routine. For other supplements/treatments at an additional cost then please enquire.

A note about Avian Flu:
Whilst Avian Flu is still a great concern and under strict rules, we can still take birds for boarding, but we are not allowing anyone to go past the drop off /collection zone , to minimise the spread of the disease. Thank you for your understanding.
