We are the one stop poultry shop! As well as supplying a wonderful range of hens at MWF, we also have everything you need to keep your hens happy, and some tasty treats for you too.
Chicken Feed and Treats
We sell 20kg bags of Layers Pellets for your hens. This is the staple food for chickens, containing all the key ingredients they need to lay well and live healthily. Layers Pellets should be made freely available to hens throughout the day in a suitable feeder, along with a fresh supply of water in a suitable drinker.
Corn is a great treat for our feathered friends, although all treats must be limited as your hens could become overweight and will not be as happy and healthy as they should be. A small handful of corn will encourage your hens to get to know you, but do wait until the afternoon so that all the girls have had their fill of Layers Pellets first. We have 20kg sacks of corn available as well as smaller refillable tubs. Other great treats for your girls include peck blocks, vegetable and herb mixes, poultry popcorn and more!

Hens require flint grit to help them break down their food as they don't have any teeth. he flint grit sits in the gizzard and grinds up the food. Naturally this will pass through their system and out with their droppings. Hens will help themselves to grit as and when they know they require it, so do have it available for them at all times.
A second type of grit that a hen needs is soluble oyster shell grit. This gives the girls extra calcium which will help their eggs to have lovely strong, smooth shells. Don't be surprised if you get the odd soft egg (without a shell) when your hen firsts begins laying. This is quite normal as it takes a few goes for her system to settle down. Our Flint and Oyster shell grits are available in refillable pots, so once you've used your supply, bring the pot back to us and we will refill for a discounted price. We are also able to stock Layers Mash, Chick Crumb and Rearer for special orders. Please contact us if you would like to reserve some. We accept cash and all major credit and debit cards, with the exception of American Express. |
Feeders, Drinkers and Care Accessories
e have a range of chicken feeders and drinkers to cater for all sizes of flocks on display in our shop, ready for you to take away. We have plastic and galvanised items available so you are able to pick the best combination to suit you and your birds. We have grit feeders to be used with the flint and oyster grit, feed scoops, perch scrapers, cardboard egg boxes and trays and much more besides.
We have a comprehensive range of health, hygiene and husbandry products from brands such as Verm-X, Battles, Barrier, Nettex, Smite and Chickin Lickin. We stock poultry safe cleaners and disinfectants such as AgriSec, Diatomaceous Earth (DE), Viratec P and Virkon S.
We sell Verm-X in liquid form to keep your hens digestive tract in tip top health. This can be used without having to withdraw eggs from the food chain. If your hens are in need of a little boost we have Apple Cider Vinegar, Poultry Tonic, Poultry Spice and Poultry Zest available! We also stock many types of red mite and lice treatments in both powder and liquid forms. We have anti-pecking sprays, first aid products and more! If there is anything that we don't have in, but you require, we will do our best to source it for you, so please just let us know.
Paula is a qualified A-SQP/RAMA (Avian-Suitably Qualified Person/ Registered Animal Medicines Advisor), so if you have any questions on what your hens need she will guide you on the best course of action.
We offer two types of bedding to keep your hens dry and comfortable in their house. We have large 25kg compressed bales of dust extracted shavings available along with smaller 10kg bales of EasiChick bedding. We do not recommend using hay in the house as this has a tendency to turn mouldy when wet which can lead to respiratory problems for your hens, and straw can be attrtactive to mites, so we also avoid this as a bedding product.

Martins Wood Farm is a no smoking site. We ask that children are supervised at all times as we are a working farm and there can be hazards around. It is very important that they do not wander off by themselves. Dogs must be kept on a lead and if they foul then it is the owners responsibility to clean it up. If dogs are causing stress to the hens we will ask that they are kept in a ventilated car.
