Welcome to Churchmans Farm, Faversham, Kent
Churchmans Farm are the leading sellers of laying chickens in Kent and the surrounding counties of Surrey, Sussex and Essex, being conveniently located just 5 minutes from the Faversham junction of the M2. We have been specialising in laying hens for over 14 years and raise some 2000 chickens from day old chicks to point of lay every quarter. This enables us to produce excellent friendly laying chickens, all of which have grown up together and will produce lots of excellent eggs throughout the year!We have served over 1500 customers with a variety of needs & experience, many of whom are keeping chickens for the first time and who therefore require personal advice, not only with respect to suitable hens, but also the choice of hen house and accessories. No customer is too small for us and many take only 2 or 3. Our chickens are hybrids which lay eggs all year round. We can now source not just the famous "brown farmyard hen" or H&N Brown Nick, but also many beatuifully coloured birds including Speckledys (based on the Moran), Light Sussex, Corals, Bovans Nera, Magpies, Redcos and White Stars (that lay bright white eggs).We hold regular Hen Keeping Workshops, at very reasonable cost, which you can find out more about here. These attract a large number of adults & children, who are all most welcome. Many are contemplating keeping hens for the first time, while others come to expand their knowledge and see just how we raise and care for our hens.If you have never kept chickens before, now is the time to start. They will provide you, and more importantly your children, with a huge amount of pleasure and lots of lovely fresh eggs. Contrary to popular belief, they are not difficult to keep and only require a small amount of space.We look forward to hearing from you, or better still seeing you at the Farm! Please ring us to make an appointment and come and have a look around, or book one of our popular Workshops.Mary Bruce
