Understanding your birds
Compare breeds, ages and flock purposes with clear information about the option you are choosing.
About Mother Hens Poultry
Mother Hens Poultry is based in Berkshire, helping garden keepers, smallholdings, family farms and breeders choose birds, hatching eggs and practical care for their flocks.
A shared interest in birds and good flock care
Poultry keeping brings together breed knowledge, careful preparation and everyday attention to the birds. We help keepers compare chickens, bantams, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, turkeys, quail and ornamental birds for the flock they want to build.
Our approach starts with suitability: the purpose of the flock, housing, ventilation, clean water, feed, predator protection and the needs of each species and age.

Ask us about breeds, preparing housing, feeding and the everyday care of your birds.
A place for every keeper
We welcome first-time poultry keepers, families, smallholders and experienced breeders planning their next flock.
Helping you plan the next stage of your flock
Building a flock takes more than choosing a photograph. Compare the available age, sex, pair composition and quantity, then make sure the birds fit your space and care routine.
Seasonal weather makes ventilation, clean water, shelter and temperature management important. Watch new arrivals closely and adjust care as young birds grow.
From first chicks to established flocks
Browse birds and hatching eggs, prepare the right housing and care, and contact us if you need help understanding a listing or an existing order. We want each flock keeper to choose with clear information.
