Product Description

Looking to buy Pekin hens for a small bantam flock, family pets, or a child-friendly addition to your garden? We have various colours in stock, and you can choose your favourites when you arrive. They are NOT recommended to mix with Hybrid larger hens - they like to live with other bantams really.

Pekins (or Pekin bantams) are compact, friendly chickens, making them an excellent choice for backyard poultry keepers. Their fluffy feathered feet, gentle nature, and small size make them ideal for families, children, and small flocks. Unlike larger breeds, Pekins are less destructive to lawns, making them perfect for smaller spaces and those who want to keep a tidy garden.

We regularly stock a variety of Pekin colours, including Lavender, Mottled (Mille Fleur), White, Lemon, and Black, though availability can vary. If you're looking for a specific colour, we recommend calling ahead to check stock before visiting.

Why Choose Pekin Hens?

Perfect for Small Spaces – Bantams take up less room than standard chickens, making them great for urban and suburban gardens.
Gentle & Friendly – Their calm temperament makes them well-suited for handling, even by children.
Low Maintenance – Pekins are hardy, easy to care for, and require minimal space.
Light Egg Production – They lay small, cream-tinted eggs, with a steady supply throughout spring and summer.
Ornamental Appeal – With their fluffy plumage, feathered legs, and round shape, Pekins are one of the most attractive bantam breeds.
Less Destructive – Unlike larger hens, Pekins are gentle on lawns and flower beds, making them a great option for well-kept gardens.
Great for Mixed Bantam Flocks – Pekins can be housed with any of our other small bantam breeds and do especially well with Silkies, Polands, or other Pekins.

Caring for Your Pekin Bantams

Housing – Ensure dry, draught-free coops with low perches, as Pekins are not strong fliers.
Outdoor Runs – Pekins dislike muddy conditions, so a covered, well-drained area is best.
Feeding – Growers' pellets are suitable until 18 weeks, then transition to layers' pellets for egg production. Fresh greens and occasional treats are great for variety.
Companionship – Pekins thrive in small groups, so keeping at least three together is recommended for their well-being.

Reserve your Pekin hens today and bring home a charming, family-friendly addition to your flock. If you’re after a specific colour, give us a call to check availability before visiting.
