Welcome

To The Suffolk Chicken Company

About us

My name is Katie and along with my partner Tom we rear and breed poultry and other livestock for the back garden keeper, breeder and smallholder. We stock a variety of birds including pure breeds, Bantams and hybrids to name a few! I have lived and grown up on a farm all my life and have kept chickens from the age of five. My first two hens were two Rhode Island Reds called Clara and Henrietta and every since then my interest and love for keeping chickens has grown and grown! Tom has also kept chickens from an early age so between us we hope we can offer you plenty of experience and advice.

Now all grown up ( some 20 years later!) I still help run our family farm consisting of both arable and livestock enterprises. The farm is situated just 7 miles from Bury St Edmunds and 8 miles from Stowmarket in the beautiful village of Tostock, Suffolk. Our poultry is reared on the farm to reduce the risk of disease and infection from other sources and of course to produce strong healthy chickens. They are reared to the most traditional methods possible and fed on a good diet which includes cereals grown here on our farm to reduce our food miles and impact on the environment. We do ask if you have any chickens already or have visited a farm recently to let us know for bio security reasons.

There are plenty of different breeds, shapes and sizes to choose from and whether you're new to the hobby or an experienced chicken keeper I hope we have something for you. Thank you for visiting our website and we hope to hear from you soon! Visits and collection be appointment only.
