Barry (roosters) Arrived 18th June 2018 Barry the rooster was impounded by local rangers back in June. Nobody came forward to claim the rooster (no one ever does!), and so the rangers were desperately looking for somewhere for Barry to go where he could live out the rest of his life.

Would you like to…

The mother of the house embarked on a mission to…

Mikey, Roy, Rusty and Valentino (roosters) Arrived 15 May 2016 These four handsome hunks came to us via a friend whose neighbour bought young (what she thought were) hens from a heritage breeder.

So here they are with us, taking our total to seven roosters. They alternate with the hens to free-range so that there’s no hanky panky, and it’s…
