Ladywell Poultry

Breeds

I have bred poultry from a young age, I only breed from the best stock I can source and a lot of the breeds I keep are from my own bloodlines, some are 6th Generation so I do know what they are going to produce. I am not someone who has started overnight by going to the market and buying what is there just to sell on. I do buy hatching eggs, so I can rear the offspring myself. This ensures new blood is entering the breeds I keep and the offspring are as they should be, strong and correct. I started keeping poultry from a very young age, then I was given some pekins, from that moment on, I was hooked and now I have quite a few. All breeds are a pleasure to keep and all have their own personalities, they are all different in their own way.

Rhode Island Red

My Rhode Island Reds are large fowl, these do also have a bantam counterpart.

They are another American breed but are very popular as they lay so well and look good too. These are commonly crossed with Light Sussex to make a sexed link crossing where the hens and cockerels can be sexed at day olds as they hatch different colours and they produce an excellent lay as a result.

Barneverders

I breed Gold Double Laced and Blue Double Laced.

Barnevelders are a Dutch breed created from crossing a few breeds in the 19th Century.

They lay a lovely brown eggs and are medium to heavy breed. They are quite placid and good layers.

Exchequer Leghorns

A Rare Breed, these are such fantastic layers and have great personalities, unfortunately they have fallen by the wayside in favour of more fashionable breeds. They lay large white eggs, very friendly and inquisitive. I have kept Exchequer Leghorns for around 10 years now and have just increased the number in my breeding pen. I will soon also have Lavender Leghorns available

Columbian Pekin

Another of the Pekin colours here. These are a standardised colour. Good quality Columbians are hard to find. I have also been breeding Buff Columbians which are also hard to source.
