A multiple award-winning family business established in 2007

IMPORTANT NOTICE

A case of Avian Influenza had been confirmed at Frosterley, 10 km from Durham Hens. As our property straddles the edge of the 10 km APHA surveillance zone, we are unable to sell hens, chicks, or fertile eggs until the restrictions are lifted. Not trading for up to 10 weeks during peak season will significantly reduce our business income and decimate our cash flow. The hens need to be fed and tended until they can be sold, hopefully, in August. As the hens can't be moved from our premises for so long, the economic decision would be to cull them and reduce our losses, but we are an ethical company and will not do that. Please support Durham Hens and help us get through this difficult time.

Pre-order hens now to collect them when the restrictions are lifted.

Buy poultry equipment and supplies. Our shop will be open on Saturdays from 10am to 4pm, or you can order online for nationwide delivery or to 'click and collect'.

RED MITE ALERT (copyright Durham Hens)

Red Mite Alert is a red mite detector. It is a simple reusable device for detecting the presence of red mite in your chicken coop.

Simply attach the device to a perch in your hen house. Check it regularly to detect the presence of these blood sucking parasites early. For broody hens and nest boxes place the device in the nest box. Red Mite Alert allows continual monitoring for the presence of red mite so any infestations can be treated early.

How Red Mites Affect Hens

Symptoms: Anaemia, pale comb, scratching, reluctance to go into the coop and/or lay in nest boxes, death if the infestation is severe.

Treatment: Add Poultry Tonic to water to treat anaemia. To kill mites thoroughly clean the coop with Poultry Shield apply Diatom powder regularly to the hens.

Prevention: Use Red Mite Alert to detect mites. Dust Diatom powder regularly inside the coop and on your hens. Clean the coop with Poultry Shield.
