| About
Poultry Park. |
|
"I well remember, when at the age of 10,
the thrill I had going to the railway station to collect a
box containing 12 Rhode Island Red day old chicks. I reared
them in a cardboard box with an electric light bulb underneath
(for heat) and a mop head hanging in the box (for comfort)
|
|
55 years later, my methods for rearing
have changed, but I still get a thrill collecting a new laid
egg, or hatching a chicken in the incubator. When I stop getting
that thrill I'll pack it all in.
About 14 years ago, after a period of ill health my hobby
became my full time occupation and Poultry Park was
hatched.

My aim at Poultry Park
is to produce a good quality bird, bred from utility strains,
of traditional farmyard poultry. To this aim I have collected
over the years, breeding birds that are true representatives
of their breed in looks and have also retained the true productive
qualities that are associated with each breed. |
|
All the birds at Poultry Park
are reared outside in grass runs in the traditional way and
are fed on natural feedstuff's.We do not go in for the numbers
game, where lots of breeds are kept. We do go in for selective
quality in the few breeds that we do keep.
Callers are welcome at Poultry Park, but do telephone
first to make sure that we are in.
