About us
We are based in the picturesque village of Ellastone, near Ashbourne and just south of the Peak District National Park. Our lovely, friendly chickens have free range over our 5 acres in the Dove Valley.
Buff orpingtons
Buff Orpingtons have a very placid, friendly and docile nature, one that is tolerant of being handled. They are one of the best birds for the first time keeper and for those with children – an ideal ‘pet’ chicken and they make good mothers. They are dual purpose breed, being kept for meat and eggs, laying around 200 eggs a year. They are a priority breed on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust watchlist.
JUBILEE orpingtons
We are building up a breeding flock of these beautiful and rare Orpingtons. They are like the Buffs in nature being docile and friendly, and were created to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, potentially the result of a cross between speckled Sussex and Buff Orpington.
Hatching Eggs
We offer hatching eggs year-round. They can be collected at Buck Farm or posted.
Chicks
We normally have day old to week old chicks available from February to October.
Chickens
Pullets and cockerels of varying ages are sometimes available.
