Welcome to Precious Poultry
Here
at Precious Poultry, we keep a range of chickens, Heavy and Light
Breeds since 2002. At that time we received by courier our first box
of day old Purebreeds. We now hold around 20 breeds of which we also
have within some breeds different colour.
Our
aim has always been to preserve the once popular but now less kept
birds. From buying our first day olds, five years on, we have our own
Incubator and hatch as many chicks as we can, so we can improve our
stock whilst maintaining the characteristics they were renowned for
before commercialisation of the Poultry Industry lessened their
numbers.
Most
of what we have learned thus far has come from the older generation
of poultry keepers, reading as much as we could, lastly and most
importantly from hands on experience both good and bad.
So
at present we continue to learn and gain insights for ourselves and
others as to keep these breeds in good numbers, so that they will be
here for many more years, for young and old to enjoy.
We
have through necessity also gone into building poultry housing, to
offset the cost of feeding so many chickens, (last season we hatched
2500 eggs) these come in a variety of sizes, with modifications if
the customer requires. They have been designed to be strong, long
lasting, easy to clean, moveable and smart looking.
As
most people are aware with biosecurity being what it is these
days, the importation of poultry or eggs is almost impossible for
most poultry hobbyists, due to the expense, so we must protect and
preserve what we already have here.
