Who we are
About the farm
Our family-run smallholding covers 26 acres (about 10.5 ha) in rural North West Devon at Chilla; we have over 35 years' experience of hatching, rearing and selling quality traditional poultry. We keep traditional and hybrid hen breeds, Silkies, geese, ducks, Norfolk Bronze turkeys and quail and hatch up to 400 chicks a month; we are registered with DEFRA and all our birds are fully vaccinated and wormed. We offer hatching eggs (also by post), day-old chicks, growers and point-of-lay pullets, table birds, Christmas turkeys prepared to order with local delivery, as well as poultry housing and feed.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
