Hatchery & Poultry
It is very easy to keep hens, it is however important to have the correct setup. Good fencing is vital when keeping poultry in order to keep predators out at all times. There are plenty of smart predators that will take the opportunity to get into your flock. My recommendation is PVC coated welded wire mesh, as it’s a perfect fence for poultry keepers.

What Drives Us
Our Mission
Creating responsibility for children in looking after livestock is such an important life lesson. This also provides them insightful knowledge of where their food source comes from. Keeping hens are not just for the young, they provide a therapeutic and stress relief for all that own them. Every hen has her own personality and it’s wonderful watching her grow.
