OUR STORY
About Mother Hen’s Poultry
A family poultry business near Pangbourne in Reading, Berkshire, built from a lifelong interest in birds, livestock and practical poultry keeping.
HOW IT GREW
From a passion for poultry to helping other keepers
Mother Hen’s Poultry grew from a genuine hobby and passion for keeping poultry. Over the years, that interest developed into supplying new and experienced keepers across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, London and further afield with carefully selected poultry.
Our experience comes from years of hands on poultry keeping, growing up around farm livestock and a long career working with birds in zoos and wildlife parks. That background shaped the practical, bird first approach that has always been at the heart of Mother Hen’s Poultry.
WHAT MATTERS TO US
Healthy birds, practical knowledge and personal service
Time for our customers
Choosing poultry often comes with questions. We are happy to spend time helping customers understand breeds, housing, feeding and everyday care.
Poultry for different keepers
We welcome first time keepers, families, smallholders and experienced poultry enthusiasts looking for birds suited to their home and flock.
PART OF OUR JOURNEY
An established Berkshire poultry name
Mother Hen’s Poultry has been known to poultry keepers around Reading and Berkshire for many years. Our 2014 DEFRA registration marked an important chapter in that journey and reflected our commitment to responsible poultry keeping and good husbandry.
Those same principles continue to guide the way we approach our birds and the advice we give to customers today.
