Find a hennel or chicken boarder near you
Are you going on holiday and don’t have anyone to look after your chickens while you’re away? Don’t worry, there’s now a solution: chicken boarding at your local hennel.
What is chicken boarding?
Chicken boarding is the poultry equivalent of taking your dog to the kennels while you are on holiday, though instead of kennel, chicken boarders use the term ‘hennel’. At the hennel, your chickens will be housed in sanitised, hygienic and predator protected coops and runs, away from other flocks. They will be fed, watered, exercised and looked after by experienced chicken keepers who know how to care for your chickens and how to spot signs of illness or distress.
Looking for a local hennel in the UK?
The number of hennels and hen boarders has continued to grow over the last few years, so there’s a much better chance of finding one not too far from where you live. Our list includes some of the UK’s top chicken boarders and in the following counties: Buckinghamshire, Cheshire, Cornwall, Derbyshire, East Sussex, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Sussex, Worcestershire.
The chicken boarders listed below are all different. Some are purely hen boarders, some are poultry specialists that provide a number of hen-rated services, while others are small-animal boarding homes that cater for chickens and other animals, like cats, rabbits and guinea pigs – great if you have a mini menagerie at home. Besides chickens and bantams, most will also take care of other poultry, like ducks and geese. If you have any questions, please get in touch with the owners.
