Hedgerow Henporium

Hedgerow Henporium Based in Ellesmere Port Cheshire, we breed chickens for your garden or smallholding. Professional c All are large fowl versions - some EXTRA large!

We were smitten by the chicken keeping bug many years ago and we have been hobby breeders of Australorps, Cotswold Legbars, Leghorns and others during that time. We are now breeding Ixworth, Swedish Flower Hens, and Faverolles. We are enthusiastic in the extreme about poultry and our egglaying garden flock is 30 strong. It grows and reduces according to how many chicks from our breeding flock we h

ave. We treat all of our hens as pets and we like to think of our flock as being adopted by fellow chicken lovers. We don't intensively rear our birds so they are all calm, friendly and interested in people. We also have the privilege of meeting other existing and would-be chicken parents on our chicken keeping courses. This is where we get the opportunity to introduce others to the delights of chicken keeping at home. We also have an ONLINE VERSION of our chicken keeping course and incubation course via our website shop

Chicken keeping is easy once you know all the pitfalls to avoid. The best way to learn is to learn from experts. We try to make our courses as enjoyable as possible so give us a try as we welcome you into the chicken keeping world. There is nothing more special than the gift of a really fresh egg from your very own garden girls. Visit our main site https://www.hedgerowhenporium.co.uk where there is lots of information on chickens and what we have available. We hope to see you soon

We are getting loads of eggs at the moment. Here is a lovely recipe to use a few.

🍑 Clafoutis: A rustic French classic!

Not quite cake, not quite custard—clafoutis is in a league of its own! Lightly golden, creamy, and bursting with sweet peaches and raspberries, it’s the kind of dessert that feels fancy but takes almost no effort. 🍓🔥

INGREDIENTS
• 3 Pace Farm eggs
• ½ cup (100g) caster sugar
• 1 cup (250ml) milk
• ½ cup (125ml) thickened cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ⅔ cup (100g) plain flour
• Pinch of salt
• 2 ripe peaches, sliced
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 tbsp butter (for greasing)
• Icing sugar (for dusting)

METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 22cm baking dish with butter.
2. In a bowl, whisk Pace Farm eggs and sugar until pale and creamy.
3. Add milk, thickened cream, and vanilla, whisking until combined.
4. Sift in the flour and salt, whisking until smooth and lump-free.
5. Pour a thin layer of batter into the baking dish and bake for 5 minutes until slightly set.
6. Arrange peach slices and raspberries over the batter, then pour the remaining batter over the top.
7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until puffed and golden. The centre should be just set but slightly wobbly.
8. Let cool slightly before dusting with icing sugar.

A bit controversial but it needs to be said. Cows ain't the problem.

If you would like to source farms that sell direct to the public then this site is a good resource.

If you would like to source farms that sell direct to the public then this site is a good resource.

I know it’s not massive, but we have come from 6,200 followers at the start of November to 10,000 on the last day.

Helping to connect farmers and consumers is all about creating a grapevine to spreading the word. You have all done an amazing job bringing others to us - food lovers and farmers.

You are making a difference for British farmers.

THANK YOU!

Not quite chickens but if you have a milk delivery from McQueens Dairies they have confirmed they are not using Bovaer in any of the feed for their cattle.

📣Customer Message 📣

You may have heard that some large dairy companies and retailers are trialing a product called Bovaer (a supplement fed to cows, designed to reduce methane emissions coming from cows). 🌱🐄

We have received lots of messages about this and we can confirm that none of the farmers we use feed their cows Bovaer. We’re proud to partner with farms that practice regenerative farming, ensuring sustainable, eco-friendly standards. 🌍

Thank you for choosing McQueens Dairies as your trusted milk delivery service! 😊
