craftyhunnypie Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hi everyone - we are going on a ' tour' of England soon in our caravan, starting in Bicester, hopefully going somewhere round Winchcombe (Cotswolds) & then over to South Wales & The mumbles. We really want to stay on a site /working farm that has free range chickens / even better a breeder /poultry visitor centre. Can only find one North of Scotland!!! Also any within a reasonable distance of Cheshire, for future reference. Hope you can help, thanks, Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowcloud Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Not heard of any, but take this book with you - it is really good and you will be able to relate to it! http://www.omlet.co.uk/shop/shop.php?cat=Books&sub=Chicken&product_id=140 I shall ask around my Welsh contacts and see if anyone knows such places around there for you, but off the top of my head, don't know any. Maybe another good item for the Omlet Wikipedia site? Places to holiday WITH your chooks, instead of getting them some chicken-sitters...

craftyhunnypie Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Travels with my chicken book sounds like a great holiday read! Think I'll be buying that! Thanks for your reply. My chicken sitter would be gutted if I took my chickens with me - she adores looking after them & wants her own eglu! No, I'd be quite happy just having 'some' chickens round me whilst on holiday. People think I'm nuts, coz I talk chickens most of the time! We found chickens when in Austria & we used to take them a treat each day. We found chickens in Craven Arms Shropshire whilst caravanning, it was lovely to see so many free ranging and standing on the grassy hill, just before sunset!

Snowy Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Don't worry , you aren't alone. We are going camping in France..... to a camp site on a small holding that has free range chickens Don't know of any in the UK though, sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 If you find anywhere please let me know! We have a caravan and have yet to find anywhere where you can take chickens and I feel SO guilty when we go away. I have seen pet rabbits on a campsite..but not chickens. You know some campsites have the most ridiculous rules about noise etc So I'd very much doubt whether anywhere commercial would allow chickens as they would deem this to "upset the other campers", so I think a farm site or Caravan club CL site (which only allows 5 vans) would be your best bet.
