Mumbles Chicken Farm
From Cookipedia
Mumbles Farm - Borough Green, Kent
Suppliers of point of lay hens, cockerels, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl and other live poultry.
We have kept chickens at home for almost 30 years and we have been buying out point of lay chickens from Gill for probably the last 10.
Give her a call first to see what she has in stock. Take a trip there and visit 'The Church', where the point of lay chickens [about 16 weeks old] are kept.
Take something to carry them home in, a cat basket is fine for a few, though the best method we have found is go to your local supermarket and get a few crisp boxes, you can comfortable carry 3 hens in each box. Amazingly, they will sit silently in your car all the way home once the box is closed.
Still in business. I spoke to Gill [December 2016] and they are still in business.
