Beautiful Homegrown Chickens For Sale Chichester Sussex
Our chickens
We are sticking with Chickens To Your Door for 2024, we have become a collection point for our lovely friends at www.chickenstoyourdoor.co.uk Please pop along to their website and take a look. You order from a great selection of either large or bantam, hybrids and pure breeds and then collect from us on the given day.
Our chickens are either homebred on the farm by us or come from the Pure Breed Poultry Company in Devon with the utmost attention to their welfare.
On occasion, we also rescue chickens locally, and once they have rested and recuperated, they are either rehomed or live out their days with us on the rose field.
We often have a variety of breeds on the farm, but here's a quick guide to some of our more common varieties
Bantam
Bantam's are a smaller variety of chicken and perfect if you don't have a big garden or yard. Their eggs will also be slightly smaller, but they lay just as many as the larger breeds. Our bantams are mostly Silkie & Pekins - they're full of character and bound to make you laugh!
Silver Sussex
Silver Sussex chickens are a very friendly and sociable variety and are great choice for a first-time chicken keeper. They lay plenty of eggs for you and will mix well with other birds.

Bluebell
Bluebell Hens are a particularly beautiful variety of chicken, with blue and grey plumage. They are slightly larger than their fellow hybrid breeds, and can be recognised by their longer legs.

The chickens and birds we have in the field differ from week to week, and sometimes we have some less common breeds in the coop. We recommend you come down in person to meet us and the birds or call ahead to discuss the best breed for you and your family.
Picking up your chook
When picking up a chicken from us, please bring a suitable carrier to transport them in. We recommend using a pet carrier if you have one - a cat crate is generally suitable for 2 birds. Alternatively, you can use a large cardboard box, with ventilation holes cut in work well.
If available, add a sprinkling of sawdust or straw at the bottom of your crate too. Remember your feathered friend will be providing many healthy breakfasts for you in the future, so a little comfort will be much appreciated!
