Pekin Bantam chickens are a good bird for first time chicken keepers and do particularly well in an urban garden as they tend not to scratch around in flower beds making them an ideal back yard hen. They are very human orientated and love company; they make fantastic pets for children. They are easy to care for, their feathered feet need a trim during wetter months. They can free range and forage in bigger spaces as they are clever little chickens and can navigate their way home, they can also fly so would need an enclosed run if not out with you in the garden and can manage a ladder or ramp up to their house.

“They have settled in perfect instantly becoming a part of the family”

"Chickens delivered by a wonderful man who braved the rain to offer much needed assistance. They were gorgeous as described; beautifully clean and in perfect condition with an egg already in their delivery box. They have settled in perfect instantly becoming a part of the family, laying eggs daily and always up for cuddles, thank you so much."

“The customer service and aftercare from the team has been excellent”

"We had one silkie and one pekin bantam delivered nearly 3 weeks ago. They were beautiful and healthy. We had some issues with the pekin acting territorial around bedtime and were worried we wouldn't be able to sort it out. However I got in touch with Susanna at Pipinchick and she gave us loads of great advice. The hens are now snuggling up together each night and we've even started getting eggs! The customer service and aftercare from the team has been excellent and I would highly recommend especially for new chicken owners."

“Such a friendly team”

"We have bought 10+ Bantams/Brahmas from Pipinchick, they are the most healthy and cared for birds I have ever seen. Such a friendly team who have helped us chose the best suited breeds for our flock. This is the place to buy poultry. Thank you so much for all the advice and being so accommodating."

“Really impressed by the service”

"We collected 3 non bearded silkies and 2 sablepoots recently and they are all doing really well and have settled in nicely and they are definitely used to human company. We have even had our first egg. We were really impressed by the service and would definitely use again and recommend to others."

Rosie, Feb ‘22

“They are beautiful healthy birds”

"This is the second year running that I have had three different bantam breeds delivered by pipinchick. They are beautiful healthy birds. I have been so impressed with not only the birds but the level of care that pipinchick provide and will be getting my birds from them in the future. I highly recommend them."

Carol, Aug ‘23

“Highly recommend the breed and the seller”

“We collected 4 young Chabo hens in July. They are delightful. In due course they started laying and have been laying good sized eggs for a small bird all winter. Before purchasing, I read that Chabo are not very good layers. Well these friendly little girls prove that theory wrong!
Highly recommend the breed and the seller. Thankyou.”
