Poultry farm in Nantwich
Creag Mhor Poultry is a small family run business, situated in the rolling Cheshire countryside, just outside Nantwich.
We rear and produce chickens and ducks of all ages, from day old to point of lay at about 18 weeks. We cater for any customer requiring any number of birds, whether it be large or small.
As soon as it is possible for us to do so, the birds are given free range, where they quickly become accustomed to a natural outdoor environment.
Customers can also be provided with poultry housing feed and general accesories to ensure the health and happiness of there birds. Should any advice be required after purchase this can also provided.
As we are open 7 days a week, we prefer customers to telephone us, preferably on the mobile number during the day or the landline in the evening before coming, so that we can be sure somebody will be here to greet them.
Breeds we can supply at Creag Mhor Poultry:
 |
 |
 |
| Black Rock - bred in Scotland. Black birds, chestnut plumage in neck and breast. These are purpose bred free-range hens showing excellent egg laying qualities. | Bovans Nira - very similar in appearance to the Black Rock. A very good utility hen, laying large numbers of large brown eggs. | Utility Light Sussex - a large white hen, with black feathering in the neck and tail, looking almost identical to the traditional Light Sussex, showing good egg laying ability, and laying brown eggs. |
 |
 |
 |
| Magpies - large, mostly black hen, with white flecking in the neck and breast plumage. Another good utility bird, laying large to extra large brown eggs. Quiet nature. | Speckledies - black and grey speckled hen, a hybrid from the Maran. These birds should lay more eggs than the traditional Maran, although only about half of them will produce eggs of a darker brown colour. | Bluebelles - large, quiet, slate grey hen with a darker head. Bred from the Rhode Island Red. Lays a good number of large brown eggs. |
 |

| Blacktails - medium sized brown hen with a black tail. Good free-range bird with a friendly nature. Similar in appearance to the Columbian Blacktail. | White Star - pure white bird, comparitively smaller than the other hens we stock. Very similar to the White Leghorn, a lively bird, laying a large number of mostly large white eggs. Early to mature and is a fantastic layer. | Amber - heavier than the White Star, but also a good laying hybrid. A mostly white hen, with varying amounts of brown flecking. Large, quiet birds. |

| Red Star - good egg laying hybrid. Quiet and inquisitive nature, laying mostly large to extra large eggs. | Warrens - traditional egg laying hybrid, laying a large number of large brown eggs.

Day old chicks of all the above breeds can be supplied all year round.
