  • The Guide to Acquiring Chickens
    The guide to buying chickens The eglu is fantastically well equipped: it has an eggport, nesting box, roosting bars and a dropping tray but there is something missing – the chickens! It’s great to choose your own chickens but to make it easier we’ve put together a guide covering the different breeds available, what to look for in a healthy chicken and a comprehensive list of breeders across the country. The chickens that we supply have been carefully chosen for a variety of reasons. Miss Pepperpot and the Gingernut Ranger are great egg layers as well as being hardy and docile. As a general rule hybrid hens (like Miss Pepperpot and the Gingernut Ranger) combine the qualities of two or more pure breed hens to create a better all round chicken. Hybrid hens are justifiably popular because they lay consistent numbers of delicious eggs, are very easy to look after and make excellent pets for children. Beside the pictures below we have given their pseudonyms as well as some other very similar suitable breeds. Miss Pepperpot: Bovans Nera (Rhode Island Red/Plymouth Rock cross) Similar suitable hybrids: Black Rock Maran Cuivre (Rhode Island Red/Maran cross) Gingernut Ranger: Meadowsweet Ranger (Rhode Island Red cross) Similar suitable hybrids: Calder Ranger Warren Things to look out for in a healthy chicken It is best to buy your chickens when it is light and the chickens are out and about. A healthy chicken will be bright, alert and active during the day. Her feathers will be glossy, and if she is already laying her comb will be pronounced and bright red.
